Milani Conceal+Perfect Cream-to-Powder (Amber)

This little gem went with me on an 11-day Mexican vacation. I knew the weather would be hot and I'd be sweating. I also knew that I'd be wearing a ton of zinc stick sunscreen on my face and neck for protection against age spots, which I easily get at age 65 if I'm not careful.I purchased several compact powder foundations to try before the vacation using the sunscreen mentioned. Now, you may be wondering why a zinc stick and a powder foundation? Mainly, because I like to take my makeup as part of my carry-on luggage and I didn't want my liquid foundation and sunscreen lotion to be taken from me. I also thought liquid makeup would melt right off.The true powder foundations didn't want to go on well with the sunscreen I was planning to use. I changed the sunscreen to my favorite Elta Md lotion and the combination curdled and flaked off. That didn't work. Next.I applied plenty of zinc sunscreen stick to my face and neck. Then, using my fingers, I applied the Milani Conceal+Perfect Cream to Powder. It went on beautifully and looked great. My 65-year-old skin looked dewy and it covered small imperfections. At the end of the day, it still looked good.The true test came while I was on vacation. Yes, it was extremely hot and I did sweat. Some areas we went to were dry and others were humid. This product took it on like a pro. My husband even commented that the weather in Mexico did wonders for my skin, but I knew better.Anyway, I liked this product so much that I've decided to continue using it with either my Elta Md sunscreen lotion or the zinc sunscreen. Very natural looking combo.

I'm finding that I am becoming a big fan of Milani products. I kept my eye on this foundation and thought I'd give it a go. I'm very pleasantly surprised! I wanted to buy a product that wasn't a powder foundation as I don't have much luck with them. My thoughts are using this as a quick product for our upcoming summer months. When I want a bit of something on my face to even out the skin tone and help conceal dark circles. This does the trick!! I will say to use a light hand with it as it can deliver a lot of product with the included sponge. Some may like this as it can offer full coverage. I just want to even the skin tone out and I love that it's a cream to powder. Now.... with serums, lotions and potions on your face prior to applying this... one may need to add additional powder to the T zone area or to set eye concealer (me) other than that, it's a very quick and easy product to use and apply. I'm no makeup youtubing influencer haha!! So I can't offer any advice as to using a certain brush with a number (those gals impress me with all their brushes with different numbers, wooo! I'm just a simple makeup user) I will however try a different method of application next time I use it. I have a foundation brush that I actually do like and will try it with that. The included makeup sponge does take some time to buff the product in completely. That being said, it's still a VERY fast way to get some foundation on your face if you're running late for work, just want to even your skin tone out for let's say a hike, swimming, summer days where you don't want a full face... so on and so forth. I'll continue to buy!

Love it! Usually wear a buff tint foundation, but this color was even better.

I use this product everyday and it blends smoothly and is a great Foundation. I love the cream to powder product as they seem to stay on well and blend better

I like the product I get good compliments of the color for me

Took too long to arrive. Product was not in good condition. Compact had scratches and the seal was broken.

This one matches with my color. When I apply the makeup it looks natural. Will order more later

I wear this because of how it sits on my skin as I age. I started buying years ago and have used it off and on again. I definitely like it for winter time because my skin doesn't look dry and I can wear it by itself (foundation that dries down to a powder-finish). I buy 5-6 at a time because I never want to run out of it.
