Everytime I'm on the search for a new foundation or try out a new foundation, I seem to have great things to say about it, because I like to do research beforehand so I know it would suit my skin, but this foundation definitely tops every other foundation. It makes me think why did I think the other foundations were good when they are no where as good as this foundation.
I have wanted to try this foundation for such a long time but didn't get the opportunity to because it's only available in Asia, and unlike most things I purchase online this is not so easy or cheap to buy online. I also wanted to be very sure on the shade before I purchased, so I was so excited to purchase this once I got to Hong Kong.

What I think....
Where to start.... This is the foundation I have always been looking for and without a doubt the best foundation I have tried yet.
All the other foundations I have tried, although they claim they are suitable for oily skin and will keep skin matte, I never stay matte for long and will usually have to blot on average 4 hours after application. Whereas, with this foundation I can go a day at work without blotting at all, compared to other foundations I would blot on average 2-3 times a day at work. I do start to shine after 6 hours but it's no where near as oily as I used to look with other foundation in just 4-5 hours. The Kate foundation would make my skin look like a dewy shine rather than an oily face shine. That's what I love about this foundation. I don't have to worry about how I look and having to blot, which can be very inconvenient at work, so I'm so happy to have this foundation now.
When I first tried this foundation was in Hong Kong, where it is super hot and humid and I think this foundation is also great in this type of weather. Again, I could go through a day only blotting once. However, due to the hot weather, resulting me to sweating, I would sometimes blot and because there is sweat it does remove the make-up and lines would appears. However, I do not think that it is too bad.
The consistent is not near thin, but I wouldn't say its thick as I have tried thicker foundations, such as Estee Lauder Double Wear. I would say the consistency is similar MUFE HD Foundation. The coverage is buildable, with a medium-full coverage. It blend easily and sets quickly, but I haven't really counted 15 seconds, maybe I should next time.
I have had days where I have used pressed powder after and days where I was too lazy (mostly when I was in HK) and it stays matte for long and looks just as good for as long.
The packaging is not the best, but considering how much I love the foundation itself, I have nothing to complain about. It's definitely how the foundation is for my skin over the packaging that is important for me.
I thought that this foundation was so good, I bought extra bottles to bring back to the UK with me. Hopefully, they should last me a while, considering I bought 4 bottles altogether. I bought OC-C which I found a bit too white for me, perhaps of my tan, so I bought OC-D too and have been mixing the two.
Pros
- Skin stays matte for long
- Good coverage
- Skin does not look cakey or dry
- Reasonable price
- Super lightweight
Cons
- Availability
- Packaging is not very attractive
I highly recommend this foundation for those with very oily skin. I have never tried a foundation which leaves me matte for so long, and I am so happy with this foundation. The price of this is also super affordable and for what it does, I am totally in love with this right now and I can see me using this for a long long time to come, and no thoughts in changing or searching for a new foundation for quite a long time. This foundation just suits me so much, and is the foundation I have been wanting to try and I am just so in love with this foundation now. I only have praises for this foundation.
The only reason I have not given this product full points because I know how disappointed I will be if I run out of the foundation and there is limited availability to purchase another.
