Finally! Ive been waiting for this for almost a week :P.. take a look at the newest member of my makeup stash :D
Graftobian HD Glamour Creme Foundation
This is my 2nd HD foundie, my first was Hera HD foundie which I ordered from a Multiply seller. I actually have high hopes for this, I read rave reviews from various MUA that this delivers very well and looks good on both photographs and real life. I am about to find out if the claims are true. Read on for the preview ;)
The shade I got is Vixen, I am a little in between NC20-25 in MAC and I think the shade match is pretty much spot on! I was a little shocked when I first saw it, I wasn't expecting it to be this small:O. Here's a photo of the Graftobian dish side by side with my MAC MSF for comparison~
too small for a foundation right? it looks more like a concealer because of how small the dish is :P
but when I opened it, I was happy to see that it's full to the brim! swatched for about 2x, it's very creamy and pigmented
see how it covers the veins on my hand? I hope it does the same on my acne spots :)
HD :D
It's very pigmented, you can easily go full coverage with this. It covers like no other foundation in my stash, and for that you can also use this as a concealer. You only need a tiny bit if you want a sheerer coverage. It is very buildable and easy to spread on because of its consistency. The finish dries to a matte. I read that it is best applied with a damp sponge, preferably a damp Beauty Blender sponge :P. Maybe Ill try it first with an ordinary sponge. Im not sure if Im ready to buy the Beauty Blender yet because of the hefty price tag :O.
I tried blotting it with a tissue and some foundation transferred :( I haven't tried setting it with a powder yet but I will do update once I get to wear it a couple of times. I can see myself loving this foundation because of the buildable coverage, the flawless finish it gives and how it photographs. (this is just based on the swatches I did above). I am hoping that this would be my HG HD :)
added infos:
Graftobian HD creme foundation also comes in a palette in warm, neutral and cool tone, they have like 5 shades in each palette. You can check out Graftobian's site for the shades.
for Filipina beauties who like to try this, I purchased mine @ sis Steph's website:

thanks for reading, Happy New Year!!
Peace & Love for us all in the coming years!
I can see how it somehow concealed the veins on your had. Seems like a really good foundation. But I agree that it's small! :P
ReplyDeleteit really is small but I think this will last me a year or so because of how pigmented this is! I really like it except for the fact that this is NOT transfer resistant :( thanks pammy for the comment! Happy New Year! :D
