REVIEW ETUDE HOUSE "STAY UP" FOUNDATION #ROSY


I would like to have a review about my recent foundation. I’ve been avoiding foundation for a long time. Because when I was a kid my mother told me to never use foundation. She
said that It can clog my pores and will lead to break out.
So all of this time, I have been living with only bb cream or cc cream. But It doesn’t give enough coverage to my face. Actually my face has nothing really important to hide, since I have a normal skin and rarely having breakouts.  But I do have a little acne scar from a long time ago, and using bb cream does not give the full coverage that I want.
I’ve ever tried the Revlon series but it turns out so bad. It gets darken after 2 hours and I don’t want to use it anymore. On December last year, I was going to sing in a Christmas concert, so I need something to give me a different look.
Two weeks before the concert, I saw the etude house dear my wish lipstick campaign, and at once I attracted to Chrystal’s look in the campaign. When I scrolled down, I saw they were offering a sale on the new foundation “stay up” it was only Rp 135.000, so I decided to buy it.
I pick the rosy shade. It actually has 4 shades pure, rosy, beige, and sand. I thought that the rosy shade will give me a little bit pinkish shade which I really love rather than the ordinary beige shade.
The package is quite cute, but it doesn’t look very expensive since it was made of plastic. When I put it on my face, it does give me a little bit rosy shade, but not so red.. only a hint of pink.. And it also gives me a really nice natural glowing face and doesn’t look pale. The smell is just so so.. it doesn’t bothering me unlike the old version of cotton fit bb cream.
The covering power is.. I can say medium because you still need concealer to hide scar and acne spots. You can’t build it until 3 or 4 layers because it can get flaky.. 2 layers are maximum I think.. The consistency is more liquid then the bb cream.. it doesn’t weigh my skin down the stay up power is quite awesome.  I used it from 7 o’clock in the morning and when I got home at 9 or 10 pm it still there, even though it doesn’t cover as much as the morning layer but at least it still there, it leaves me a glowing blurred skin that still natural enough.
So overall, this foundation is good. Will I purchase it again? Maybe yes.. We’ll just see in the future but I do want to try the pure shade..
Pro :       1. Cheap price
                2. cute packaging
                3. nice scent
                4. lightweight on skin
Cons :    1. Medium coverage
                2. can turn flaky if I build up
