Barusan aku cek draft postinganku di blog dan aku baru sadar, ternyata banyak banget review foundation yang belum ditulis, padahal udah lama aku coba haha. Aku juga cek label Foundation di blog ini dan kaget karena ternyata baru ada dua postingan bahas soal foundation 😭 Jadi hari ini aku bakal nulis soal salah satu foundation yang jadi favoritku di tahun 2019 yakni Wet N Wild Photofocus Foundation! Aku yakin banyak dari kalian yang udah pernah dengar soal foundation ini, aku sendiri memutuskan buat cobain setelah lihat reviewnya Tati Westbrook yang bilang kalau ini salah satu foundation drugstore kesukaan dia.

Harganya sendiri tuh nggak mahal kalau beli online, masih pas banget di kantong. Aku sendiri beli di Toko Beauty Bank di Shopee sekitar Rp 80.000-an kalau nggak salah (nanti aku link tokonya di akhir postingan).

Shade foundation Wet N Wild Photofocus ini banyak banget, ya as expected karena dia produk dari brand luar ya, jadi udah pasti harus punya pilihan shade yang luas. Aku berharap banget nih brand lokal mulai begitu juga biar semakin banyak orang Indonesia yang bisa menemukan shade foundation mereka di produk complexion lokal.

Aku sendiri milih shadenya pakai bantuan dua website, satu pakai Findation, satunya lagi lewat webnya Wet N Wild langsung, mereka punya mesin shade finder yang bisa bantu kamu nyari shade yang pas dengan referensi foundation yang selama ini kamu pakai. Alasan lainnya kenapa aku pakai cara ini adalah karena meskipun Wet N Wild ini tersedia di Watson dan Guardian, tapi  pilihan shade yang ada di display nggak pernah lengkap.  Entah karena yang masuk ke Indo memang sedikit atau gimana.

Berbeda dari foundation lainnya, kalau biasanya foundation dalam packaging botol itu pakai pump, atau semacam Maybelline yang harus dituang manual, foundation Wet N Wild ini  aplikatornya pakai spatula  yang menurut kebanyakan orang justru kurang higienis karena spatulanya bakalan sering nempel ke kulit. Aku pribadi sih cukup bodo amat ya haha, toh itu foundation aku doang yang pakai. Atau kalau nggak mau langsung kena kulit bisa diapply ke sponge atau brush aja.

Untuk coveragenya, dia menurutku medium to full. Terus nggak oxidize terlalu jauh juga, dan foundation ini dinamakan Photofocus karena dia diklaim nggak ngasih efek flashback di muka. Jadi kalau misal kita difoto pakai sinar flash, muka kita nggak akan kelihatan putih sendiri kayak badut. Di bagian belakang produknya katanya sih foundation ini udah dites di bawah 7 jenis pencahayaan, dari pencahayaan pro sampai yang ecek-ecek kayak cahaya dari sinar handphone.

Oil controlnya juga oke, dan setelah dipakai 6 jam juga foundationnya nggak geser sama sekali. Nggak creasing juga, dan gampang diblend. Bahagia banget aku waktu menemukan dia setelah sebelumnya pakai foundation Maybelline yang oxidize parah banget jadi bikin kusam. Setiap aku pakai foundation ini, kulitku jadi cakep banget mulusnya karena dia nutupi semua bekas jerawat.

Wet N Wild has grown so much in me, believe it or not. Remembering all those days where I didn't wear a lot of make-up, the only beauty product I put on my face was only my sheer lipstick from a local brand, and now I have an array of make-up products to create a full face look. I recently figured out that Watson actually sells Wet N Wild products, although they miss out a lot of the items such as eyeshadow palette and incomplete shade range. So I had to buy few things online since they're not available in Watson.

So as you guys can see from the title of this post, here I have my one and only, my very first highlighter and it's from Wet N Wild. I had been wanting this highlighter so bad for so many months but whenever I checked on Watson, it kinda dropped my guts to the floor since the price was not friendly enough for my college student wallet :( I remember that one time when I went to Watson to grab a few things and one of the employees offered me this highlighter in liquid packaging and my first impression trying the product was not good, since it left me in what looked like a sea of glitters. I was scared that I would end up like a child had just thrown me glitter ball.

But then I saw Kathleen Lights mentioning this highlighter again in one of her videos, in the powder version. She raved this highlighter so much, what with the buildable formula and the affordable price, it's such a great product for someone who's on a budget but still want their make-up to not look dead matte. And so I asked for my friend to get me the highlighter. I chose the shade Crown of My Canopy since my skin tone is medium dark and the color seems to match perfectly.

I love the simple packaging, but I feel like you gotta be really careful when you take it with you during travel because I've read a lot of reviews saying it's easy to break. As for the color, this time I'm really happy that I picked the right shade. Now my face doesn't look dead matte. It's not the kind of highlighter that gives you intense, blinding highlight with just one swipe, but you can definitely build it up as much as you like. The only downside I really pay attention is it emphasizes the texture of your skin, other than that it's all good.

I feel like I need to start each of my posts with the same template where I would give you little updates on what's currently happening on my life and then we'd continue with the post of the day. I don't think it's a bad template considering this is still a personal blog to me and thus I would love to make all of you guys as my friends who I can talk to.

Even though sadly, we can't talk directly face to face :(

Anyway, I have made a lot of new purchases recently and one of them happens to be Wet N Wild Color Icon Bronzer in the shade Ticket To Brazil. Now, as I've told you guys before how I've been trying to fill in the gaps of my make-up collection, I manage to get myself a bronzer. Sadly tho, this product kinda disappoints me.

I first saw this product in one of Kathleen Lights' videos. Wet N Wild is such an affordable drugstore make-up with pretty decent quality and so, when this product came up as one of her favorite bronzer, I had my hopes set high. I had a hard time choosing which shade would suit my skin tone because they only have 3 shades; Reserve Your Cabana, Ticket To Brazil, and Bikini Contest. I tried to google the shades online but still it left me confused because I wasn't sure there would be a shade dark enough to bronze my skin. But then I followed Kathleen's words that said Ticket To Brazil would look good for people with darker skin tones, and so I chose that shade.

Unfortunately once the product came, my guts dropped to the floor because even just by looking at the pan I knew exactly it wouldn't be dark enough for me. I hate when brands don't have a wide variety of shades for darker skin tones. I was also surprised to know that it's a very shimmery bronzer! I hate shimmers on my face except for eyeshadow and highlighter :(

But it's pretty pigmented and easy to blend. It just doesn't work as I hoped it would. So instead of using it as a regular bronzer, I use it as an undereye topper or even as a highlighter since it's so shimmery, almost as shimmery as my Wet N Wild highlighter.
