Hello Everyone,

Today I am reviewing my most favourite mousse foundation of all time - Lakme Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse in the shade - 03 Golden Medium.

This is my fourth container and I love it :)

5. Beige honey
6. Almond honey

So far this is the best foundation I ever used and it is my Mom's favourite too <3

What Lakme Claims?

Feather - light finish easily blends into the skin keeping it healthy, hides pores and evens out skin tones. The new SPF 8 formula protects the skin from sun damage, leaving it peachy - soft & naturally flawless for up to 16 hours.

• SPF 8
• Feather light texture
• Stays up to 16 hours.

MY TAKE ON THE PRODUCT : 

Packaging : 

It comes in a classy attractive round ball like container. The steel color hemispherical cap screws open to a plastic cover and the lower hemisphere of the tub which contains the product.

Texture : 

The texture is very light weight and it is very smooth. It blends like a dream and gives light to medium coverage.

The Lakme mousse is like soft whipped cream. It gives a natural matte finish and it controls oil very well.

Staying Power : 

It stayed for 8 - 9 hours on my skin without any touch ups.

It can be applied using finger tips, but with a stippling brush it gives a nice air brushed effect.

What I Like?

1. Classy packaging.
2. Smooth and creamy texture.

5. Hide pores really well.
6. Light to medium coverage.

Happy Glitters Rating : 4.5/5

OVERALL VERDICT : 

I love the fresh look it gives to the skin. It is definitely a long wearing foundation. It minimizes the pores and evens out skin tones as claimed.

Will I Repurchase?

Yes! Yes! Yes! Always :) :) :)

It blends easily with fingers, sponge and brush. It can also be used as eye shadow primer. It holds the eye shadow well without creasing.
