Lakme Absolute White Intense Skin Cover SPF 25 : Swatches & Review

Hello Girls. Hows your week going on? This is a wedding season. Beautiful ethnic attire and flawless makeup, a dream look to attend a wedding. Ethnic attire, I am assured, you will choose the best. Let’s talk about some makeup now. Foundation is an integral part of makeup routine. It covers all the spots/blemishes and uneven skin tone. Some might need sheer coverage just to even out skin tone while some other might need high coverage to hide acne/dark spots. I am going to talk about a high coverage foundation today. Lakme Absolute White Intense Skin Cover SPF 25 is a high coverage foundation, that gives you flawless finish. Lakme claims about this foundation: Vitamin B3 & SPF 25 guards the skin against harmful rays leaving it visibly fairer. Water based. Long lasting. Price Originally priced at Rs. 700 for 15ml, The price has reduced a lot now. Availability Available offline. At very cheaper prices online. Buy from Amazon.in. How To Use Pump some foundation onto the palm of your hand. Apply tiny dots all over face and neck area and blend thoroughly. Shades Ivory Fair Rose Fair Golden Light Golden Medium Beige Honey Almond Honey I use Golden Medium Shade 03 for my fair-medium skin. The foundation has yellow undertones. Packaging It comes in a black opaque bottle with pump. The pump delivers just the right amount of the product. Texture & Smell It is a water based foundation but it’s quite thick and that’s how it delivers great coverage. I am not a fan of the chemically smell. It does not stay for long though. My Views Even though I am never satisfied with the Lakme foundations, I still got it because of the coverage it offers. It gives nice coverage and hides my acne scars and hyper pigmentation due to acne. It also covers bumps or pimples to great extent. It actually boosts my confidence to face the world when I am going through acne breakout. I am not a fan of the consistency of this foundation. Its very thick and I need to blend it quickly other wise it will dry up and I won’t be able to blend it. I generally use my fingers to blend this foundation so that the warmth of my fingers help it blend easily. Coming to the pigmentation/coverage, I am really like it. Since it’s thick it gives really nice coverage. The coverage I would call medium in absolute terms, but, I am fine with that coverage, I have hardly used a full coverage foundation, maybe one from MAC, the studio fix was full coverage. I generally apply one pump-one layer on my face, and that’s all I need. Putting another layer with this thick foundation, is little difficult for me. Longevity, is awesome. I have worn it many times for full day and it stayed there till the evening. It helps to keep my oily skin mattified for 5-6 hours. If there is oil showing up, I just blot and it does not transfers to the tissue. This foundation contains SPF 25, which is great if you go out in the sun wearing it. But it does not photograph well indoors and gives white cast, which I totally detest. Likes Water based formula. Gives great coverage. One pump is enough to cover all the scars/pigmentation. Stay for long. No transfers. No smudges. Never broke me out. Convenient to carry and use. Classy packaging. Many shades to choose from. Contains SPF 25 which makes it good for outdoor wear. Dislikes Gives white cast. Not good for indoor photographs. Formula dries off quickly hence you need to blend it quickly. Summary : 4/5 This foundation offers good coverage, longevity & the non-acne-genic formula. If you can tone down the white cast, it is a great wear.

I never really realised this until yesterday when I was reviewing Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Foundation, but it’s true. Most of my foundations are from Lakme, while I have never found my HG foundation in Lakme ever. That’s quite ironical I would say. One a side note, my very first foundation was from Lakme though, Lakme Perfecting Liquid, I still adore it. I am not saying that they are worthless, but I just feel they are more grey/white on me. The shade selection is quite a chore whenever I am looking into Lakme Foundations. Either they are too chalky, or too greyish, they never really go perfectly on my skin, like the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation (I am going to get a lighter shade very soon). Lakme has done great job in formulating the weightless foundation. Before this I was impressed by Revlon Color Stay Whipped Cream, which was awesome in terms of feeling weightless and giving coverage considering the fact that Revlon had never impressed me with it’s color stay range though. It always broke me out. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is my current HG foundation, even though it’s little dark on my skin, but I would prefer to look a shade darker, than looking chalky or greyish. I am getting little curious about the new Lakme Absolute Illuminating Foundation. Let’s see how long can I hold back my temptation.
