Nutra-Lift's Flawless foundation



 Forgive my bad photos, but this is the Flawless Foundation from the lovely Nutra-Lift! While there's a lot of special qualities about this foundation, what I love the most is that it's natural and organic! It certainly helps that it goes on like velvet. When I seen the name - Flawless Foundation - I didn't really expect to have flawless skin. However, Nutra-Lift hit it right on with the name! When I use this foundation, the word that pops into my mind is flawless! Let's take a look at the foundation...






  These photos are just a little off and blurry, but you get a pretty good idea of what the actual foundation looks like out of the bottle. You can also see how very close it is to my actual skin color! I didn't see this in person, I chose the color from the list on Nutra-Lift's web page and look! It was the perfect shade! The Flawless Foundation is available in Warm Beige, Cream Mocha, Medium Tan, Natural Suede, Natural Nude,  Tawny Beige, Sunset Tan, Vanilla Beige, Brown. I believe my shade is Warm Beige. When you visit Nutra-Lift's webpage and go to the Natural Flawless section, (or just click here) you'll see the many different shades to choose from up close. Each foundation has a photo of the actual foundation out beside the bottle, making it easy to choose the right shade. 

 You may know this trick already or you may even use it daily, but if you happened to get the wrong shade of foundation or say you go to the tanning bed and suddenly your foundation doesn't fit your shade anymore, you can mix with other foundations to get your right color. It's actually much easier than it sounds. One trick I use nearly every time I use foundation is to mix it with my moisturizer and that creates a much better blend. However, with the Warm Beige Flawless Foundation, I don't even need to mix and match because it goes on and looks totally natural! Another awesome thing about it is that unlike most foundations, Nutra-Lift's seems to be a really amazing mix between heavy coverage and natural. You don't have to cake it on to get a better coverage. In fact, a small dab goes a long way!

I've used drugstore brands as we all have and was currently using something from Revlon that was a nightmare. I had ran out of my other foundation and had been mixing Revlon with my moisturizer as it seemed to dry my skin out. I was left with this awful greasy, shiny face! To fix that I had to add ANOTHER layer of make-up (powder to tone down the shine). I was really hating having to apply my makeup and usually that's something I enjoy doing, especially now! 

Since I have such crazy skin, I have to be picky! It's dry as heck except on my forehead where it's shiny, but not exactly oily. Applying foundation of any sort would tend to show up every tee-tiny dry spot! I have struggled so much with foundation. I want it to look natural and still hide little spots and redness as well as give my pale, anemic color a darker glow. I was hesitant with Flawless Foundation, but knew it was going to be something I liked. I was just afraid it would show my dry spots that don't seem to be visible until the foundation goes on. 

I swiped a small amount on my cheeks and liked it! I added more to the rest of my face and really felt perfect. It hides my large pores and truly gives a flawless look. If you've come to think of flawless as the Bare Minerals makeup that claims "flawless skin" you will be in for a surprise. Nutra-Lift has absolutely topped all of those (and yes, I have used them!). I even like it better than the Almay blending foundation that blends to the natural color of your skin!

Now, another thing (yes another one!) that makes Nutra-Lift's Flawless Foundation totally unique from the others is the matte, healthy looking finish it gives. No shine! You can also use a dab as concealer to totally cover any redness without worries. It stays on and covers so, so well. In other words, your zit won't be peeking through your foundation at the end of the day.

EXPERIENCE:
I have been using the Flawless Foundation daily for, I believe around 2 weeks? Here's my new routine...

- Shower using the Non-Soap Cleanser (also by Nutra-Lift. I call this cleanser my miracle!) Some days I'll use an exfoliator before showering. 

- Apply the A Nano Renue lotion/serum with 24 KT gold in it (also a Nutra-Lift miracle!) I also use this during the night. It's a one of a kind.

- After A Nano Renue has absorbed, I do my eye makeup and then finish by squirting a drop of the Flawless Foundation on to my hand, then use my brush to pick some up and in circular motions, swirl the foundation all over the face. Quick. Simple and absolutely beautiful!

After that, I may add a little bronzer to my cheeks and I'm done! There's only been one time when I loved a skincare product so much that I began using the others available and it was Astara. I had used the exfoliator and that's actually what I was still using when I started with Nutra-Lift. I liked Astara's exfoliator so much that I used other products from them. One didn't end up staying on my regular use list, but I did like it. I was surprised that I took so well to each and every Nutra-Lift product. It has passed my tests. I usually continue a product I like for 2-4 weeks to see if it just stops giving me nice results and that normally happens with skincare, but Nutra-Lift has impressed me. I love them! 


Specs on the Flawless Foundation:

  • The Flawless Foundation comes in a frosted glass bottle, very durable. 
  • It has a squirt type pump making it easy to dispense without getting too much out and wasting.
  • SPF 18
  •  Product is very worth price! 
  • Goes on well and does not cause fine lines to be more visible! It won't build up in your wrinkles or lines, but instead smooth them! Now, if you're looking to really, really smooth out those lines, I totally recommend using A Nano Renue as a moisturizer/cream and this as foundation. A miracle together, those 2!
