IDUN Minerals Liquid Foundation Nordic Veil, Saga, Full Coverage, Long Lasting, Matte Finish for Normal to Oily Skin, Purified Minerals, Safe for Sensitive Skin, Light Neutral, 0.88 Oz

Lasting time: This stays on for a long time, which is important to me since I use it to cover rosacea, and I don’t want my redness popping back out in the middle of the day. I put it on at 5am before heading off to work, and its still on at 11pm when I get ready for bed.Amount: You need much less of this foundation than others — I generally used 2 pumps in other brands and less than one pump in this — so the bottle will last a long time.Application: I have tried it with a dense brush and a sponge, and either way it looks very skin like; the main thing is to just use the tiniest bit. I used a full pump the first time and it looked caky because it was just too much product. With less product, it comes out great.Shades: There is an excellent shade reference on Idun Minerals’ site, cross referencing with other brands. I don’t notice much oxidation.Scent: There is a scent, but it fades quickly.

This is an awesome makeup. It’s lightweight and gives nice coverage. I have mature skin and it looks luminous. I have a hard time finding colors that match my skin tone, but the cool medium matches well. I am also going to try the medium dark neutral. The weird and confusing thing is their color chart doesn’t name the colors the same as the products listed for sale. I hope they fix that. The price point is excellent because This product is better then a lot of high end makeup. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. I am also hyper sensitive to smells in makeup, but this barely has a scent. The liquid glides on and blends really well. Is very lightweight, but covers well. Give it a try. I’m also going to try their other products

I have tried so many foundations to match my skin tone, Nars, Urban Decay, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, and on down the line. I am a pale neutral, bordering on cool, undertone and almost every foundation, is too yellow or too pink on me, even though they are listed as neutral. I bought both the Journn and the Saga, thinking the Journn might be too light, but it’s perfect. The texture is nice, and I don’t find it too matte or too shiny. There is a bit of an odd smell when you first apply, but it goes away very quickly. I am glad I finally found something that makes my face match the rest of my skin. Totally natural looking! The coverage is great as well and gives a smooth even tone to start with before applying the rest of my makeup. After months of research, I found this by accident, and I’m so happy I did!

For reference, I wear Estee Lauder in shade 1NEcru or Nars Soft Matte Foundation in Mont Blanc. I would consider myself very nuetral/olive. Not too warm and not too pink but a touch of green in there. When I took this out to use, I had to shake it very well and squeeze the oil out before it finally thickened. After this I took my blendie to swatch and while it blended out seamlessly and gave my skin a satin-matte look, the shade Extra Light was a bit toooooo light. I’ll order the next shade up since I like the coverage (medium/full) and see if that once matches.
