Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation

Hello beautiful!
Today I will introduce you to one of my HG products without which I literally couldn't be able  to survive (I am a drama queen, I know :D)! It is Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation, which I bought when my face was in the worst place ever and my acne were never so inflamed in my  whole life, so I couldn't cover them with any foundation I tried.

Pozdrav ljepotice!
Danas ću vam predstaviti jedan od mojih HG proizvoda bez kojega doslovno ne mogu živjeti (drama queen sam, znam :D)! Riječ je o Vichy Dermablend korektivnom tekućem puderu kojeg sam kupila kada mi je lice bilo u najbrutalnijem stanju i akne su bile upaljenije nego ikada prije u životu te ih nije bilo moguće prekriti niti s jednim puderom kojeg sam probala.

Vichy says:

• SPF 35
• hipoalergeno, bez parabena, nekomedogeno
• pokazatelji: neujednačen ten kože, podočnjaci, prošireno crvenilo

I say:

The foundation comes in plastic 30 ml tube so that you can squeeze even the last drop out of it. Since I  first put it on my face I am completely blown away by it. Coverage is unbelievable, it is extremely pigmented (concentration of pigment is 30%) and it's easy to apply. Texture is a bit more liquid than in usual foundations, which is not surprising because it is actually a fluid. The best way of applying it, for me, is to squeeze a bit on my hand and warm it up with my fingers, so that the texture becomes nice and liquid. After that I apply it with a brush on my face. For the whole face and neck you need a very small amount of product, approximately two peas amount, and because of that you will have it for a long time (I bought mine in July and I still have about a third, if not more). If you have expressed blemishes I recommend you to apply it on the whole face and then to build it up where needed. It builds up really nicely and doesn't look cakey. Although it says it has mat finish, I wouldn't agree. It's more like a half - mat  and if you have oily skin you will have to apply mattifying powder on top of it because your face will quickly be shiny.

Ja kažem:

Puder dolazi u plastičnoj tubici od 30 ml i moguće je istisnuti i posljednju kap iz njega.

Od kada sam ga prvi put nanijela na lice ja sam potpuno oduševljena ovim puderom. Prekrivanje je nevjerojatno, izuzetno je pigmentiran (pigment u koncentraciji od 30%) i lagan za nanošenje. Tekstura mu je mrvicu rjeđa od klasičnih tekućih pudera, ali to ne čudi jer na njemu piše da je fluid. Za mene je najbolji način nanošenja ovog pudera tako da ga stavim na ruku i malo zagrijem prstima jer onda dobije lijepu i tekuću teksturu te ga nakon toga kistom rasporedim po licu. Za cijelo lice i vrat je potrebna vrlo mala količina, recimo dva zrna graška, te će zbog toga vrlo dugo trajati (ja sam svoj kupila početkom 7. mjeseca i imam ga još sigurno trećinu, ako ne i više). Ukoliko imate izraženije nepravilnosti preporučam da ga stavite na cijelo lice pa onda nadogradite na mjestima gdje je potrebno jer se zbilja lijepo nadograđuje i ne izgleda kao da ga ima puno. Iako piše da daje mat izgled, ne bih se složila da je u potpunosti mat, već neki polumat. Ako imate masnu kožu morat ćete preko njega prijeći s matirajućim puderom jer će vam brzo sjaj izbiti.

Without and with foundation

It is lasting really long, especially if you fix it with powder or fixing spray. The longest I wore 
it was on the wedding from noon to 6 a.m. and, although in the morning it didn't look perfect, the coverage was still decent and it didn't slid down my face. It has SPF 35 and the active ingredient is titanium dioxide (CI 77891) which is mineral filter, so it means it will protect from both UVB and UVA rays. That is both good and bad, because the amount of foundation you apply on face is too small to effectively protect against UV rays, so you have to wear cream with SPF underneath it. 

Postojanost mu je zbilja duga, pogotovo ako ga fiksirate s puderom ili sprejom. Meni je najduže izdržao na svadbi od 12 sati pa sve do 6 ujutro, iako, naravno,  kada sam ujutro došla kući nije izgledao savršeno, ali  je prekrivanje još bilo pristojno i nije mi skliznuo s lica. Ima SPF 35, a aktivni sastojak je titanijev dioksid (CI 77891) koji je mineralni filter, dakle štiti i od UVB i UVA zraka. To je i dobro i loše, jer je količina pudera koju nanosite na lice premala da bi efikasno štitila od UV zračenja, tako da je potrebno ispod njega nanijeti i kremu sa SPF faktorom.

There are two things that are not so great. Firstly, there is selection of shades. If I am not mistaken, in Croatia are available 4 shades. As I have very fair skin, I bought the lightest shade (15 opal) which is still a bit dark for me, but I could look past that because I also apply it on the neck and the difference is not so visible anymore. But for me, who has a pink undertone, it is quite yellow. It would fit perfectly to those who have a yellow undertone. The second thing is that it likes to emphasize dry parts. I tried this foundation when my skin was oily and it hadn't emphasized anything, but now that my skin is dry form acne treatments (more about that in future posts) I noticed that after a few hours it would stress dehydrated parts or parts where my skin is peeling, so I wouldn't recommend applying this foundation to whole face if you have very dry skin, but only in spots where you need higher coverage as a concealer and on the well hydrated skin.

Postoje i dvije stvari koje mu zamjeram. Prva je izbor nijansi. Ako se ne varam kod nas ga je moguće pronaći u 4 nijanse. Kako imam veoma svijetlu kožu, uzela sam najsvjetliju nijansu (15 opal) koja mi je ipak mrvicu pretamna, ali to bi mu i progledala kroz prste jer ga spustim na vrat pa se ne primijeti. No, za mene, koja imam rozi podton kože, on je dosta žut. Odlično bi odgovarao onima koji imaju žuti podton. Druga stvar je da voli naglašavati suhe dijelove. Probala sam ovaj puder dok mi je koža bila masna i nije mi ništa naglašavao, ali kad mi je koža postala suha od tretmana za akne (više o tome u budućim postovima) primijetila sam da nakon nekoliko sati naglasi ako imam kakav dehidrirani dio ili ako mi se koža ljušti, tako da jako suhoj koži ne bih preporučila ovaj puder za cijelo lice, nego samo kao korektor na mjestima na kojima treba veće prekrivanje i to na dobro hidratiziranu kožu.

Ingredients are, as stated, non-comedogenic, hipoallergenic, without parabens and suitable for sensitive skin:

Sastav je, kao i što piše, nekomedogen, hipoalergen, bez parabena i primjeren za osjetljivu kožu:

All things considered, the cons I stated don't bother me personally because the pros overcome them multiple times. I will surely continue to buy this foundation because I consider it the best for covering blemishes and acne. I am currently using it as a concealer on my cheeks and on the rest of the face I apply Bourjois Healthy Mix because I don't need such a high coverage on the rest of my face. 
The price was about 28$. It is available at pharmacies that sell Vichy products.

Sve u svemu, negativne strane koje sam navela mene osobno ne smetaju jer ih pozitivne strane višestruko nadilaze i svakako ću nastaviti kupovati ovaj puder jer smatram da je najbolji za prekrivanje nepravilnosti. Ja ga trenutno koristim kao korektor na obrazima, a na ostatak lica stavim Bourjois Healthy Mix jer mi ne treba više tako jako prekrivanje na ostatku lica. Ja sam svoj platila 159,32 kn. Dostupan je u ljekarnama koje drže Vichy proizvode.
