After watching Iman strut her stuff on Fashion Show (her show on Bravo) I decided that I wanted to try something from this gorgeous womans cosmetic line. While standing in the aisle at target looking at her line I was weary. I won't be the one to lie to you, it's kind of weird looking at her products because in my opinion the packaging is so dark and the way the products are named is very unique. This particular Target was running low on her shadows so I picked a cream to powder foundation. As always it was a little hard trying to pick a color considering there is no sampling or trying on. After lots of consideration and going back and forth I walked out with CLAY 3..Purchase price $15.
I tried on the foundation with every doubt in my mind. It went on a little awkward looking but once it dried it was pretty much flawless to be a "drugstore" product. This foundation gives a really natural looking medium coverage. With a concealer your skin would probably looked airbrushed. I set it with Revlons Mineral Finishing Powder in Suntan Matte. It feels very light and once it dried it left my skin feeling really silky with a very natural look. I have oily skin so after a few hours of actually wearing it a touch up was needed but even after the first touch up it lasted about 5-6hrs. That isn't a very long time compared to other foundations but I do believe that its worth it. I haven't yet tried it with the milk of magnesia trick but I soon will and will report back. This is great for everyday wear if you prefer a medium coverage without alot of work (and by work I mean layering and layering your foundation).
The compact is black similar bulky style to the MAC Studio Tech compact. It is very lightweight and flimsy, I dropped it once and yes its broke! It wasn't a long fall either just from the bathroom counter to the floor lol. But Im still going to use it until its gone and then purchase it again and again!
What else should I review on IMAN or anything else. Let me know!
How long did it take for your foundation to dry? It seems to keep rubbing off when I use it.
