Like most I
rely on foundation daily to even out my skin and as much as I love how it makes
me look, I really don’t like shopping for it. You see the lightest shade in
most ranges, high-end or not, usually doesn’t even come close to matching my
skin. So whenever I find something that looks light enough I can’t stop the excitement
which is what led me to purchase the Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Super-Charged
Foundation in 10 Ivory Light.
First let
me just say thank you to Marc Jacobs Beauty for offering such a wide range of
shades: 15 in total! Now onto the foundation, it promises to be long-wearing
and weightless all the while minimizing imperfections with the use of Soft Focus
Powder. The coverage is medium to full depending on if you layer it or not, the
texture is so light that you can easily add more if you need more coverage. One
layer covers most imperfections and really evens out the skin. The texture is
very watery, much more liquid than gel, and because it contains a lot of
pigment it does cling to dry patches. I would recommend it more for combination
to oily skin but it could work on drier skin types too if you prime or
moisturize well before application. The finish is satin so it looks very
luminous without giving a dewy glow and it is matte enough to last all day on
my skin.
The shade
10 Ivory Light is a very fair color and a good match, even though it is a tad
pink I can still easily make it work. This foundation is highly photogenic it
almost acts as a filter and blurs your skin. However, what impressed me the
most is how good it looks in person. I find it gives me flawless skin and I
loved using it. Sadly I later discovered it contains silica so I don’t use it
every day anymore, BUT I reach for it whenever I know I’ll be taking picture (I
used it for my graduation pictures and it looked great) or if I want my skin to
look really perfect. This is a great foundation and it is worth the investment
in my opinion, especially if you have a hard time finding a good shade match.
