Let me start out by saying I am constantly on the lookout for new full coverage foundation. With my skin being prone to breakouts and previous scaring, I look for a foundation that hides all the blemishes, but doesn’t look cakey.
My holy grail foundation I always use is Estee Lauder’s double wear. I love the coverage and the photo ready look it provides, but it can be a little bit on the heavier side for everyday wear. I was searching for an everyday foundation with a similar effect of the Double Wear coverage.
That’s when I heard about Frankie Rose. A couple great things about it is its sold on Amazon with Free Prime shipping, so it gets to you fast. They also have a 30 day return policy if the makeup doesn’t work for you or if the shade doesn’t work. So I decided why not give it a chance since they are compared to The Estee Lauder Foundation. Here are my Pros and Cons of using the foundation.
Pros
The foundation is very lightweight. I find that it is a lot more lightweight than the double wear foundation. That is something I was really looking for. It also has a good coverage. I use the Fenty Foundation brush to apply it and find it has pretty good coverage over my face. I would definitely recommend using a concealer on top of any blemishes to really get that full coverage look. Some foundations allow you to get away with not using concealer, but I would highly recommend it with this one.
In addition to it being light weight I find that it doesn’t make me break out as much and it still gives you that photo finish look. Also, note that this makeup is a little bit less than the Double Wear foundation coming in at $36.00 instead of $43.00. It could be a great switch if you’re looking for switching up your foundation routine.
Cons
It can be hard to color match when ordering online. I found that when I purchased using their foundation comparison on Amazon, the color was a little bit lighter than I would want( For reference, I ordered the China Silk color as I am usually the 1W2 Sand color in Double Wear). It may be trial and error until you get the perfect color, but the 30 day return policy makes that easier.
In all, I really like this foundation. It is a lighter foundation, with a medium coverage, but not quite full coverage. This is a great everyday foundation to be used with setting powder and concealer. You’ll be good to go!
