I have tested NYX High Definition Studio Photogenic Foundation which is a so-called HD foundation, which with the help of light-reflecting ingredients creates a soft and even skin. This foundation should work both for everyday and for parties and even for professional photography!

In addition to light-reflecting ingredients, it also contains tri-peptides that reduce visible wrinkles and fine lines, so it should not only even out the skin for the day, but also in the long run.

Comes in a tube of 33.3 ml :)

Here are before and after pictures of my result:

Nice right? :) I have the shade Sand Beige which is a little too warm and a little too dark for my skin really, but it is close enough to be able to put it to the test for a few days!

This is how I experience the result:

Application - I think it looks best with a brush, but you can also apply with your fingers if you prefer. I use Nanshy Flawless foundation brush which is a flat foundation brush that you can easily work into the foundation of the skin with. It is very easy to apply, thin and smooth and glides easily on the skin!

Dryness - I do not have dry skin, but immediately after application, the foundation highlights skin flakes that I did not even know I had. Must remember to peel me tonight :) So I do not know if I can recommend it for a dry skin, but when you powder and it has been on for a few minutes, it melts a little better into the skin and then the dryness is not as clear at all . And I think that bit will be better if you apply with a brush compared to if you apply with your fingers.

Coverage - It is possible to get a comprehensive result by building up more coverage with more layers without it becoming cakey, but I absolutely think it will look best if you take a thin layer all over the face and then concealer where more is needed.

Feeling - The foundation becomes dull after application and feels very good on the face, neither dry nor sticky in any way.

Consistency - It has a very thin texture, not runny but not so creamy either. Thin texture but at the same time very good, I would say.

HD effect - Den känns inte så utjämnande om man tittar nära i spegeln, jag sminkar mig ju med värsta sminkspegellamporna + har en förstoringsspegel framför mig, då tycker jag att både min “kindrynka” vid munnen som jag ofta har problem med när jag använder flytande foundaion och som sagt torrheten syns ganska väl. Men om man backar lite och tittar på ett avstånd på typ 30-50 cm så förstår jag varför det kallas HD-foundation, man ser verkligen superjämn ut i ansiktet!

In areas where you have small wrinkles, I would recommend taking a thinner layer, because the foundation settles a little unnaturally there otherwise I think, maybe because it becomes quite dull and a little in the drier direction.

Sustainability - I who have oily skin get better results with other foundations, but I am clearly happy with the durability! It stays matte much longer than many others, and it stays in place all day.

Conclusion - A good foundation that makes the skin look smoother in the distance, easy to apply, good coverage and lasts all day. I have only tested my skin but do not think it is optimal if you have dry skin. No foundation I personally will continue with, but I think many of you may like it!

Award - The recommended price is SEK 245, but right now it is available for SEK 178 HERE (link)

Any of you who have tested this? What do you think? :)
