Cream Foundation Pot

This is probably TANF's highest coverage, smoothest, and longest lasting foundation product. I will say, for me, there is only one way to apply it well (without streaking, dragging/pilling, or patchniess), and that is with warm, dry, very clean, fingers. I've tried brushes, poufs, and sponges of all kinds... and I can say, without the body heat of fingers, it just doesn't melt into the skin like a second skin. It's also fairly dewy-- without being shiny. With any powder (even good powder), especially given my troubled and prematurely ageing skin, I do get a little bit of bumpiness. Or I guess I should say, the slightly bumpy texture of my skin is accentuated and it can be cakey (when more coverage is needed), or cake into lines. This is the only product that doesn't do that! But in order for it to be perfectly smooth, I have to scrape some out of the pot, then melt/rub/blend it gently into my skin, working in quadrants (forehead, one cheek, then the other, etc.). Like a thick cream. And finally, for conceal-like coverage, I swirl my finger into the pot to melt the product, until I've picked up an opaque layer, then I dab it on gently over spots and under eyes. Perfectly creamy. This gives the most seamless finish I've ever seen. And with patting an additional layer or two over troubled areas, it can even cover scarring. However, one other thing I've noticed is that it rubs off immediately if not set and sealed. I was wearing it unset and unsealed one day, forgot, and leaned my forehead against the back of my hand for one second. Which caused a big smear. The hotter the day, the more it dabs/rubs/runs off easily. I've found Angel Wings veil doubles as a good setting powder.

The cream foundation pot is my new favorite foundation. I tried the liquid first, but the liquid seems to do nothing in terms of coverage, not even light coverage, so it seemed pointless. This foundation however when used with a damp sponge applicator is not only beautiful (beautiful because you get your exact skin color with all those options so it’s looks NATURAL!!) but you can build it if you desire or keep it light and it looks natural on the the skin. I don’t need powder which is great cuz powder always looks less natural in my opinion. Also , because I can get my exact color match I can only use it on certain areas if I choose and not my whole face:) I feel and look really pretty in it!

I love this formula and at a great price. It's not sticky or drying which is perfect for my dryer skin. To find the best color match I ordered the 10g pot in 3 different shades and found this to be a cheap way to get the correct shade when buying online. I now use all 3 shades for highlight, foundation, and concealer.

I ordered olive pale - it was a perfect undertone but too pale for my skin. So now I use it as a eye primer (this is the only product that doesn't break out my eyes and it works!) I love this stuff! It smells great, the ingredients are recognizable, and it provides great coverage.

I like this foundation very much. I like the feel of it and it stays pretty well. I am still figuring out how to apply it, but currently I am applying with a brush and then using a beauty blender type sponge to blend it. That gives me medium coverage without using a ton of product.

I really like the cream pot foundation and have been using this product for several years. The customer service representative is very helpful and goes out of her way to keep the customers happy.

This product offers great coverage! I'm using it as an under-eye concealer and it does a good job of that. However, I live in a very tropical climate so the product is a bit too creamy for that area after about 3 hours when my face starts getting oily. I set it with its matching color in the powder foundation. I know it's not it's intended use, but rather meant to be a foundation, but I sure wish I could find a fix for this! As a foundation alone, it's great. As a concelear...it's awesome but will get sticky/cakey after a while. Maybe when I'm at a colder climate this may work out great!

Love that you can get these in all of the foundation shades. Use it when I need a little more coverage and blends to use asa concealor as well.

I have bought many types of foundations and BB creams to try to conceal my melasma. Most were costly. Of all the products I have tried, nothing has worked better than this cream foundation. The major reason it works so well is that I am able to find an almost perfect shade to match my skin tone. Some products feel like a heavy mask on my skin but I don’t have a problem with this foundation since on most days I only put it on my cheeks and upper lip area since it blends in so well. The best thing is that it’s non-toxic so I feel safe using it. Thank you Crystal for such a great and affordable solution for my melasma!
