I’ve tried a lot of foundation over the years, having first incorporated the makeup product into my life around the age of 13 in an effort to cover up my acne before heading to school. Foundation has always been, well, the foundation of my love for beauty. Now that I’m older, I’m a bit pickier than just using whatever brand my mom had in her cabinet. While searching for my go-to everyday foundation there was one particular formula I almost always dismissed: cream foundation. Cream foundations always left my very oily skin looking cakey and textured, but Patrick Ta’s Major Skin Crème Foundation & Setting Powder Duo made me a convert.
You’re probably already familiar with the celebrity makeup artist (who has worked with celebs like Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and more throughout the course of his career). Having just launched his first complexion product, trying out the Major Skin foundation was exciting from the get-go. I had high hopes, and it sure didn’t disappoint. Based on some of the other Patrick Ta goodies I own, I went in thinking that this was going to be full coverage, but it’s actually a light-to-medium buildable foundation. Starting off with a sheer look is a step in the right direction as it’s better to apply more product to your liking than have it immediately look too strong.
