I picked up the EX1 Invisiwear foundation and
the pure crushed minerals loose powder
late last year from lookfantastic.com.
I had never heard of the brand until Chloe Morello and Amanda Ensing
mentioned it in their videos.
This foundation has won many awards and was founded by Farah Naz,
a british asian whos concept was to create a cosmetics line to
to cater to those who have Asian, Middle/Far eastern and Mediterranean skin tones.
Because of her scientific background, she has also formulated
the products to be good for your skin well.
I was intrigued, being of asian background I struggle
to come across an affordable yellow based and
dark enough (when I am tanned) foundation,
as most drugstore are pink, neutral or orange!
So I decided to pick these up and see what all the hype was about.
PACKAGING
This foundation comes in a sleek and pretty plastic tube.. with a pump!
I love that it's pushed from the bottom, as you can see how much you have
used and it doesn't waste product.
SHADE RANGE
The foundation range comes in 5 different colours,
I did find however, that both shades had
more olive undertones than it did yellow.
I picked up f300 and f400 (summer shade) -
I found these matched really well.
Here is the shade chart they offer so it makes it easier to choose your shade:

CONSISTENCY
The foundation has a thick consistency, but is easy to blend and work with.
It covers my redness and evens my skin really well,
I was surprised by the medium coverage, which can be easily built up to full -
as it does feel light-weight.
FINISH
It has a velvet finish, on my dry/combo skin.
While I prefer a dewy/satin finish in a foundation, I absolutely love how this looks in photos..
Surprisingly not flat at all, but radiant and skin-like.
LASTING POWER
I love setting this with the loose minerals
and it lasts a good 6-7 hours before it fades out a bit around my t-zone area
where I will start to see my freckles/blemishes coming through,
but it doesn't look or feel oily.
The EX1 Invisiwear Foundation comes with 30ml of product
and retails for roughly $23.50AUD
available from lookfantastic.com - free shipping worldwide.
(I purchased it for roughly $15 a pop with a coupon,
so definitely search for codes before you order!)

I really like this foundation,
it is versatile as it can be worn as an every day foundation
or built up for a night time foundation, as it looks amazing in photos and has buildable coverage.
I love how this looks and feels on my skin despite being more on the matte spectrum..
At the end of the day for the price,
it is definitely worth giving a try.
