“Global beauty brand” Tony Moly is available at two
locations here in Oahu, which makes it very easy to try various products. Today I will give a quick review for
two products, a foundation and powder, in the Cats Wink line.
I bought both products last November so I have used it
enough to have a clear opinion.
I have the Cats Wink Shiny Skin Foundation in the shade
Natural Beige. The foundation has
SPF20 PA++ and is suppose to provide a smooth and moisturizing coverage. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the
foundation to follow through.
Whether I used a primer (oil free, pore/smoothing, matte, moisturizing
etc) or not, I always found the foundation to apply very patchy and hard to
blend out. I have tried various
ways to apply the foundation (brush, sponge, hands) and I found that using an
air puff (the puff that comes with cushion pacts) was the best. Despite providing good coverage it
emphasizes dry spots and I found at the end of the day, no matter what I used
to set it, the foundation seemed to disappear. I never find myself using this foundation and with more cons
than pros I would not recommend it.
My final rating: 2 stars
Unlike the foundation I love the powder in this line. The Cats Wink Clear Pact in Clear Beige
is a great powder packaged in an adorable cat shaped compact. This powder does
not provide a completely matte finish.
Instead it gives a soft but smooth matte (보송 보송) finish. I have very oily skin with some dry
patches and I find that this powder provides good oil/shine control (roughly 4
hours) and does not cling to the random dry spot. However, I find that with my
skin type, it does not work well with moisturizing/glowy foundations. When used
with a foundation that gives a glow, the powder does not seem to control shine
(the finish is very nice but touch up is needed more frequently). I personally found that it worked better
with my foundation or BB creams that provided a normal to matte finish. The powder gives good shine control
without making my face appear very matte or dry. I would recommend this powder if you want shine control
without the overly matte finish.
My final rating: 4
stars
As part of my journey
to declutter and keep only the things I use (or love using) I will be getting
rid of the foundation and keeping the powder.
안녕!!
