The Body Shop All-In-One Face Base and Extra Virgin Minerals Powder Foundation Kabuki Brush : review

I have been using the Body Shop All-In-One Face Base and Extra Virgin Minerals Powder Foundation Kabuki Brush combo for some time now. Read on to find my views on these two products.

What the brand claims:

1. About the All-In-One compact : A foundation and powder in one neat compact. Use dry for a light matte finish or wet for high coverage. Perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. Matte finish, Velvety feel, No added fragrance, Includes sponge and mirror, Dermatologically tested.

Price :  INR 1295

2. About the Extra Virgin Minerals Powder Foundation Brush : A high density, supersoft brush for use with Extra Virgin Minerals Powder Foundation. Super-Soft synthetic hair, Cruelty-free, Gives an even, flawless finish

Price: INR 1495

I use the shade no. 5 in the All-in-One compact. The compact comes in 6 shades.

Though the compact can be used as wet and dry both, I have only used it dry so far. There is a sponge given with the compact but I never apply the product with that sponge. The coverage is decent enough when applied dry. I have to make sure my skin is very well moisturized before I apply this otherwise it clings to dry patches. My skin type is normal so this product works well for me. I also make sure to top it up with a moisturizing/finishing mist like a Mac Fix+.

Coming to the brush, this brush is meant to be used with another foundation by the brand. But I decided to buy it to use it with my All-In-One compact. The brush is very dense. It picks the product very well and is incredibly smooth against the skin. The combo of this compact and the brush works well for me.

Even though I like these two products, there are some drawbacks to both these products. The compact is dry and powdery so if you are someone with dry skin, I would suggest you stay away from this product. Also the shade range is limited to only 6 shades so there is a good chance you will not find a matching shade to your skin tone.

Regarding the brush, I would have preferred a longer handle instead of a tiny handle. It sometimes feel uncomfortable to use just because of that.

I usually travel with this combo for shorter trips as it saves space and I do not have to carry a foundation and setting powder separately. I would recommend this Compact for people with normal to oily skin only. The brush however can be used with any other powder foundation of any other brand as well.
