Becca Radiant Skin Satin Finish Foundation

October of last year 2013, I attended iFabbo San Francisco Conference.

Here are the products I received in my goody bag. I already reviewed Vitabath Body Wash in Cucumber & White Tea (top left). Not only that during the conference, there were some brands representing. I received a sample foundation from Becca.
Product Review: Becca Radiant Skin Satin Finish Foundation - Light

May contain/peut contenir [+/-]: Iron Oxide (CI 77492, CI 77491, CI77499).
Thoughts: The reason why I took so long to try this sample is because when it comes to foundation/BB/CC creams, I'm pretty good just using one product at a time. I only open a new product after I finish another. With that said, I was still excited about receiving this sample. I've always heard great things about this brand and their foundation.
Here's a closer look at the foundation of the light range.
Here's a swatch of the top three colors from left to right; Porcelain, Shell, and Sand.
Here's a swatch of the bottom three colors from left to right; Buff, Buttercup, and Nude.
Here's how the foundation looks on me. I have nothing on other than primer. I cannot recall if this is Buff or Buttercup. I believe it's Buttercup.
Here's an overall look after I finish the makeup. I'm wearing Mirabella Myth Visionary Long Wearing Eyeshadow and Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Rose.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no scent whatsoever. Secondly even though they say it's a medium consistency, I think it's in-between thin to medium. If you can tell, it really didn't cover my zit on my nose. I even tried covering it up with a concealer. It might be the primer I've been using. I'm not a big fan of it which I will review soon. Third when I swatched the foundation on my hand, it looked like Buff fitted me the best. I still think Buff is better than Buttercup but it didn't fit my neck. It was a little bit light. I probably have to mix colors which I'm not a big fan of. I believe you spend a lot of money on a foundation/BB/CC creams, you shouldn't mix. That's just my opinion. Fourth, it goes on smoothly and it's easy to apply with foundation brush, sponge, and even fingers. It leaves a smooth canvas. When it comes to hiding imperfections, you will most likely need a good primer and concealer. I also love that it leaves a dry canvas. This will be great for all skin type even dry skin individuals like myself. It doesn't dry out my skin or show the dry patches. Lastly, it lasted all day on me.

Pros:
* Variety of colors.
* No scent.
* Great light to medium coverage.
* Extremely light; does not feel like you're wearing foundation.
* Easy application.
* Does not dry out skin or show dryness.
* Great for all skin type.
* Leaves a dry, satin finish.
* Lasts all day.

Cons:
* Certain people you need to mix colors.
* Does not cover pimples/ imperfections.

Would repurchase: Maybe.

It would probably be really good for someone that doesn't need a lot of coverage. I need a lot and I agree with you. Mixing foundations is time consuming and costly. Because you have to buy two and there are too many more options out there.
