![]() Hello! Thank you for posting this review and your previous post on the different swatches for each skin tone! I found both helpful in getting me one step closer to finalizing this product as a staple however I am still undecided about the color. I hope that helps…do keep me posted on what you decide! In terms of concealer, I really like Cle de Peau concealer (expensive but very creamy and a little goes a long way), Le Metier de Beaute Peau Vierge Concealer (also quite an investment, but great for providing illumination and coverage on circles and redness) and RMS Un Cover Up (super natural ingredients, good coverage and hydration and very illuminating…also not as expensive…review on this coming soon!). If you are up for experimenting with mixing, then it could be just the product you are looking for perhaps mixing it with a bit of illuminating product (like MAC Strobe Cream) could do the trick to provide coverage and glow. In response to your question, the KA SSE is indeed highly pigmented and will cover almost anything, however, if it is not mixed with a moisturizer, I fear that it may translate as a bit dry on skin that struggles with dryness to begin with. Good to hear from you! I am so thrilled that you are pleased with the RBR Milk Aquarelle foundation…it is such a special formula. KA Sensual Skin Enhancer in SX 06 swatched heavily and lightly blended However, this scent is so heavy (it has a very strong perfume odor) that it doesn’t ever seem to completely dissipate, which I find bothersome…this is unfortunate because SSE is such a marvelously concentrated product that I really enjoy many of its qualities overall. I don’t necessarily mind scented products…in fact two out of three of my regular foundation choices are have fragrance (By Terry’s Cover Expert reviewed HERE and HERE and Rouge Bunny Rouge’s Milk Aquarelle reviewed HERE). I find that my fingers warm the product and help it to blend more effectively than a brush or sponge is able to achieve.Īs previously mentioned, the coverage is unprecedented, however, the biggest caveat for me is the scent. Upon moisturizing and priming (the SSE is not inherently dry, but I find a primer helps it to glide on), I prefer to use my fingers to gently pat it onto my face, blending thoroughly along the way so that the coverage appears as natural as possible. There is a great deal of discussion about how to best apply this product some like to sheer it out with moisturizer, others use a damp sponge to press it into the skin. Kevyn didn’t get his diploma until the mid-’90s.The product itself is very dense…I have owned this little jar for years and when I choose to use it, only a minuscule amount of the foundation (about the size of a grain of rice) is necessary to cover my entire face. Truth be told, the young, soon-to-be top dog makeup artist faced so much physical and emotional torment in school, that he eventually dropped out. ![]() ![]() Louisiana in the ’60s and ’70s was not the ideal place for a boy to be perfecting his makeup techniques, or starting a Barbra Streisand fan club, or sneaking around his first girlfriend to spend time with a handsome senior boy during high school. A passion not just for beauty, but for life.īefore the days of Dan Savage’s It Gets Better project, Kevyn was just one of many gay young people facing a very scary reality-a world of people who simply didn’t understand him. His incredible attention to detail, his overwhelmingly positive reputation, or how about that time he successfully transformed Martha Stewart into Veronica Lake for a tutorial in his third book Face Forward? What really stands out to us though is passion, in the strongest sense. When we think of the late, legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, a few things come to mind. ![]()
