It isn't January anymore, but the project goes on. I should have three more days including this one then I will talk about my February Project.
I have liked powder foundations since I bought a compact of the Body and Soul Powder Foundation about 15 years ago. This has long since been discontinued and I have always missed it. I have also tried several powder foundations trying to get something similar. This powder foundation is the closest I have found and I really do like it.
This is the Aquasurance Compact Foundation in ACF101 Ivory. I already know that I like this foundation and I plan to repurchase it in the future, but I have been using this mostly on the weekends and for touchups. I wanted to give this a try as a workday foundation. To do so, I sort of kept Taylor Wynn's Powder Foundation tutorial in mind and opted to use the Tati Beauty Blendiful for application because powder puff type applicators work really well with this type of product (More on the Blendiful for liquid application later).
Sorry this is a little beat up! I definitely have used this and carried it around a lot!

Part of Taylor's suggestion for a good powder foundation application is to use a dewy setting spray. She specifically mentions the Catrice Illuminating Prime and Fine Dewy Glow Fixing Spray.which I already had.
It may have even been Tati that suggested using a velour puff with a powder foundation and since I had recently gotten these, I thought I would give that a try. This one has been washed about 3 times so far.
And this is where we ended up. It looks pretty darn good! I feel like the coverage is right about the level I like and the setting spray really helped to keep it from looking to powdery or flat.
Over time, it has gathered a bit, especially between my eyes and above my lip. I also feel like the color match ended up a little darker than I would like. I may try the lightest shade next time I order this. I would really like to give this a shot for work a few more times. I really liked how fast this was to use. My makeup took at least 5 minutes less than normal.
I only used powder blush and contour on this, but I would like to see if any cream products would work.
This is a keeper, but I knew that before I started. I may need to try to incorporate it into my weekday routine more.
