How to use Marc Jacobs Buffet Extra Shot

Shade Light 140

For lite to medium buildable foundation, I dot the product on all over the face using the flat edge of the doe-foot and blend out with a foundation buffing brush
For concealing under the optics, I apply the flat side of the doe-pes to swipe on the production and so tap it in with my fingertip to blend. The make suggest using a lighter shade than your peel tone for extra brightening under the optics
For covering pigmentation, I dot the product with the pointy tip of the applicator, allow information technology sit for a minute, so lightly press it in. The longer y'all leave it (within reason), the more coverage y'all become.

Before & Later on Photos of Marc Jacobs Cafe Extra Shot

I take shade Light 140 which I think works pretty well for me. I am quite happy to use the same shade foundation as concealer, but anyone that prefers a lighter shade concealer may find themselves wanting two different shades.

My Review

The doe-foot applicator makes this really easy to apply. I just swipe or dot it on all over my face if I want to utilise it every bit foundation and then have been using my Love is the Foundation Brush by It Cosmetics* which is one of my accented favourite tools for blending foundation.

Blended out like this, yous become a prissy light to medium coverage that's really pare perfecting, and great on the expect of enlarged pores. It gives a lovely natural peel effect, with a soft radiance.

I so become in with more than product every bit a concealer – under the eyes, on redness around the nose and mentum and straight on to whatever spots of pigmentation. If you leave it for a short while, you can get enhanced coverage, and then I detect this actually dandy to practice on my areas of pigmentation.

For concealing, I definitely recommend fingertip blending for the best coverage and terminate. Information technology has a lovely flossy texture that's actually nice to work with.

The Coverage and Wear

For reference, I find as a foundation, information technology is more light to medium coverage, and information technology's fuller coverage every bit a concealer.

I set up nether the optics and the t-zone with my new favourite powder, the DIOR Powder-No-Pulverization. However, if you are oily, yous may need something a bit more heavy duty to tackle shine or production movement.

I like way this foundation/concealer wears on my skin throughout the day. I did need to top upward a little in the areas I muffle, but that is pretty normal. It gets a little glowier, which I like, but nothing wildly shiny. The pores stay blurred actually nicely too, which is very pleasing.

I can't really make up one's mind if I prefer this every bit a foundation or a concealer, but for some reason information technology is definitely a question I go along asking myself. If it's foundation, then this is a very small bottle, and if information technology's concealer, then it'south very large! I'd be very interested to find out how much one canteen lasts if they are using it as their primary complexion product every day.

Something to note for different skin types: the formula contains some coconut ingredients, and I know that a few of yous with acne-decumbent skins can struggle with. I am not proverb that this volition break you out, merely it is just something to be aware of.
