Review on NVYUE Mushroom Head Air Cushion CC Cream - Natural Mushroom Head Foundation | Moisturizing BB Cream Makeup | Long-Lasting Matte Concealer | Even Skin Tone Makeup Base Prime (Natural) by Melissa Thompson

This material confuses and amazes me. To be honest I really didn't expect this makeup to work the way it does in the video. I am a 911 dispatcher, I work 12 hour shifts. My skin is far from perfect due to stress and perimenopause, so I need both coverage and staying power to get through the long days. This stuff works on both counts! First, and I can't stress this enough, wet your mushroom sponge before applying! I know this may sound counterintuitive and you think you'll get better coverage with a dry sponge - you don't! I can't explain it, but you'll blend and cover better if you dampen the sponge. In addition, a strange alchemy is going on with this makeup. It holds up so nicely, not quite matte, not quite dewy, but just perfect. And because you see it, you use so little product that you don't feel like you're wearing makeup at all. I've never had an experience like this with foundation. Even with a tonal airbrush, I could feel it on my face. I didn't even have to use concealer. And I ALWAYS use concealer. No longer. This material hides dark circles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, everything. I set it with loose powder but I don't even know if it was necessary but like I said 12 hour shift I don't risk it. Lasted 14 hours without touching up. There is no oil breakthrough. No blotting paper needed. Still looking great when I got home from work. I can hardly believe it. My expectations were low but this stuff is amazing. The color is very soft - it wasn't too light as I feared. With a slightly damp sponge, it blends beautifully and feels hydrated (like a good serum). It's non-sticky, non-drying and I dare say my skin is soft and hydrated. I just ordered 2 more. I am impressed. I will give it to my sister and my mother and see if they love it as much as I do.
