I don't have a shine issue I have a dull issue. The result is seamless, second-skin blending.Īdvertised as offering buildable light-to-medium coverage for a dewy-matte finish, magiX is said to banish shine for up to 10 hours. It also features Avon's newest texture breakthrough, Soft Touch Blend, which weaves together real silk fiber proteins with a unique blend of luxurious powders. Avon's magiX is formulated with the company's patent-pending Optix Light-Diffusing Technology, which blurs imperfections to deliver an instant look of poreless, shine-free, and line-free skin.

The formula of magiX was inspired by the soft-focus technology in cameras (and Photoshop) that's often used to make celebrities' skin look perfect. I had the same impression I had had the first day I tried the pricey Clé de Peau Refining Fluid Foundation ($118 for one ounce) - nice soft-focus finish! After application, they were blurred (only a concealer would make the darker freckle-like ones disappear entirely). The foundation instantly diminished my flaws (I have some freckle-like spots near my hairline and two larger areas of hyperpigmentation in the same area). I decided on fingers, and I actually think that was the right choice. The dab looked a little dark (instant thought: am I a Light Ivory?), and the foundation seemed to have a medium-weight mousse texture. The first time I used it, I squeezed out a dab into my palm to see what I was dealing with and decide how I would apply it. I turned out to be the second lightest, Ivory. I'll bet there's one that's perfect for you. This new foundation is available in 12 shades - from Light Ivory to Earth. None of that silly light, medium, and dark business.
Unlike some competitors, Avon knows that we come in many different skin colors and different tones within each. Avon magiX Cashmere Finish Foundation with SPF 10 is amazing. I like everything about it, and I highly recommend it. Then we get to performance, and it blows away the competition in its price range. That makes its price way better than inferior drugstore foundations. Lessons have been learned here lately! Avon's new foundation (it was introduced in February 2010) is normally priced at $11, but is on sale now for $7.95.
You can't call Avon a "drugstore beauty product," but I always though it was comparable in price. Seriously, I was ready with a back-up plan! I'll even admit that the first time I tried this new foundation, I had to pry my Armani Beauty foundation out of my right hand with the left as I reached for a backup. I have never identified a drugstore foundation that I would substitute for my pricey foundations. There are some great ones that meet my requirements and make me very happy. With all these criteria, I have gravitated over the years to high-end foundations. I do want some sun protection in my foundation - just enough to ensure that incidental damage from indirect light, indoor lighting, or a dash outside won't damage my skin.Totally matte foundations are not good for me. This relates to the other criteria, but basically, I like a soft, dewy finish - one that blurs my imperfections, but doesn't look heavy or caked. It absolutely cannot settle into my expression lines. I'm only impressed if it looks perfect when I leave home, continues to look good at mid-day and still looks good when I get home from work. I need a foundation that's not too yellow, but not too pink. Sometimes, as all of you know, it's hard to find the right shade, and when you find a foundation that meets all of your criteria, and the shade is perfect too, it's nirvana. I also have areas of redness in the middle of my face - particularly on my nose - and I want them to be nice and light to match the rest of my face. I have some sun damage on my face, and I want to blur it. Your foundation forms the basis for the rest of your makeup, so it's got to be great and prepare the "canvas" for what's to come. Let me back, up, though, and explain my foundation requirements and preferences - and why I have them. I'll skip to the conclusion and tell you right now that it's fabulous. I'm on an Avon roll! I received Avon's magiX Cashmere Finish Foundation SPF 10 to test.
