   My HG Foundation
   I have complained about my skin problem in nearly all of my reviews but I have to go through it once more,you can skip the first two paragraphs if you want to jump up to the review:
   I have super dry and dehydrated skin.I guess one of the driest ones in the world as there’s a bunch of foundations most people with dry skin can use but 99.9% of foundations even the ones usually liked by people with dry skin,turn to nightmare on my face:flakey,chalky,powdery,cakey,showing dozens of dry patches on my skin even though I’ve tried different moisturizers and face oils as base,using dewy setting sprays and using different ways of applying my foundation(damp and dry spong,finger tips,brushes,silicone beauty blenders)..it goes the same even with BB creams and tinted moisturizers(except Maybelline Fresh BB cream)
   while having such a dry skin,my forhead starts looking oily in an hour..I don’t have serious acne or pigmentation but my skin needs evening out as I have redness on my cheeks,dark cycles under my eyes and a dull,pale skin tone probably because I’m a smoker.I have some pores on my cheeks and nose and a little of acne marks(actually blackhead marks) on outer sides of my face.my face is prone to tiny black heads and I have a sensitive skin which can easily get irritated and become red,stingy and itchy
   Collistar Super Moisturizing Foundation is the only foundation that sits on my skin perfectly,easily blends,doesn’t cling to my dry patches,doesn’t sink in pores and lines and doesn’t look cakey even a bit.it creates a dewy,flawless finish and unlike other foundations really hydrates my skin.it covers my redness and evens out my skin,has more than moderate coverage and lasts for a decent time.I bet most people with oily skin would hate it as they will look really shiney but if you have dry to very dry skin I highly recommend you to give it a try.my forhead looks oily after when I use it but I solve that with a little touch of powder
   it has SPF 10 which is too low to rely on it as sunscrean..comes in a simple tube which I like as it’s easy to use and easy to put in the purse for further touch ups.comes in six shades.I had to buy the forth one,amber,which is definitely too dark for my NC15-20 skin but I had no choice because they didn’t have lighter shades.I mix it with a few drops of my Mac Face & Body NW15 and it becomes closer to my skin match
   Unfortunately it’s very very difficult to find,at least in my country.by far I have found only two shopes having it and they both only have the sixth shade( the darkest one),Collistar’s matte foundation is a bit easier to find but I’m pretty sure it won’t suit me..my friend who also has s dry skin told me that Art Deco Rich Treatment Foundation is as good as this one for dry skins but I sampled that one and my skin was still flakey.after purchasing 20 foundations and BB and CC creams in last year,I’m coming to accept that except Collistar Super Moisturizing Foundation and Maybellin Fresh BB cream,there’s no makeup cream that I can wear
   It’s priced 20$ here,which is ok,but I wish an easy to access,cheaper drugstore brand could do this wonders to my skin..
