IMAN Second to None Cream To Powder Foundation, Earth 2 0.35 oz (10 g)

Comments about IMAN Second to None Cream To Powder Foundation, Earth 2, .35 oz:

IMAN's Earth 2 shade matches my skin tone perfectly - once I'm finished applying. I love the super-matte looking finish. However, if you're going to use the creme-to-powder foundation be ready to pull your skin in many directions with the makeup sponge that comes with it in order to get it fully blended and totally covered. (Not happy about the pulling!) I also tried using a good foundation brush instead but it makes the coverage blotchy and it takes a long time to finish. You may also have to re-apply often throughout the day as this product does not have the staying power I expected! I used foundation primer once with it and didn't have to reapply as often. Overall, I'd say this particular IMAN product is high maintenance.

I really like this product. I have never been much of a cream to powder girl because most are cakey but I found this to be the most natural I have ever used. I also think it stays on well and I just use a light moisturizer underneathe. The undercover agent works well too for a no shine finish. The one thing I don't care much for is the sponge applicator - it is brittle and fell apart quickly after minimal use.

This product is good, but not good enough. In the morning when I apply this make up, the coverage is great! My complaint is after about 30 minutes, the product looks as if it is sliding off of my face. I tried to use a translucent powder after I apply this foundation to diminish some of the oil in my skin, but by the 2nd touch up, my face looks caky.
When I first applied this makeup, I thought...wow this is what I've been waiting for, but the 2nd day I was disappointed, because I realized that there is too much touching up that I have to do. I use the IMAN primer before applying, but it goes on too wet and it does nothing to make the foundation last...at least until the middle of the day. Again, the coverage is great, but you have to re-apply too many times throughout the day.
