I’ve been curious about spray foundations for a while – does spray-on really equal an airbrush finish? W7’s version is a spray mousse, so you don’t spray it directly onto your face (like I had always figured for some reason), instead you spray it onto your palm or a sponge and then, and I quote, ‘apply to the face as desired’. Whatever that means…
Carry on under the cut to see the results (and I mean actually see – as against my better judgement I’ve posted a picture)
Well it isn’t W7’s fault that I don’t have the complexion colour of someone who has spent a lifetime baking under some very strong sun, but unfortunately this foundation is not quite the right shade for me…
Shown is W7 Spray Mousse Foundation in Natural Beige worn with W7 Moisturising Lipstick in Kir Royale and W7 2 Step Mascara.
My skin is ghostly white (see my neck and shoulders for proof), and the ‘natural beige’ shade is just a smidgen darker than that. Colour problems aside, this foundation is very pigmented, I’m talking serious coverage here. If you could somehow find the perfect match for your skin, and you wanted to hide everything, then this could be useful for you. For me, even in the right shade, it’s just too heavy. Plus I’m not sure the spray-on to your hand and then put on your face as usual really has any advantages over just simply applying liquid foundation with your hands.
Oh, and it’s seriously hard to shift. (Note to self: Need to invest in some heavy duty makeup remover before any future product experimentation!)
