"I requested samples from
buff'd and here is how my luck turned out. I should note that I only requested three foundation samples and the blush was extra
that was nice of them. Shipping didn't take an eternity, but I suspect customs opened my baggies. The baggies aren't convenient but hey, they were free right down to the shipping.
Sorry this took so long, I like to try things at least 3-4 times before forming solid opinions on them.
Buff/Warm- These shades were much lighter than I expected and I knew that they would not match my skin tone. I figured the other two would be ones I'd actually try. I accidentally wore these shades instead (with
Warm as the blush lol I was just going by the names).
Warm doesn't work as a blush, but
Buff looked amazing with my dark-lip-neutral-eyes look.
Overall- I guess if you want shades that will make you look more fair in the face,
Buff'd foundations will do that without looking horribly scary. Also, the undertones were accurate. None of them looked too pink or unnatural on me.
Caramel- This is the shade I
meant to try and it was a good match as far as color. Although, if I didnt apply
Buff'd carefully and set it with a mist of gentle toner or water, it easily became chalky and ashy on me. When it was set, though, the foundation had reasonable coverage. It was more than I was used to, and blushes on top of it looked cakey on me. My skin is also dry and flakey after a few days of wearing these foundations.
Overall- I don't think I would buy these foundations because it wasn't great for my skin, and I noticed redness and bumps the second time I tried it. I suppose it is good for someone who has time to let it set before going out, or someone who is looking for heavier coverage."
I have the blush covered in a different review.
