Thank you so much to Danielle & Madison (@everythingglittersintx on Instagram) for sending me this photo of the new Almay Healthy Glow Makeup! They spotted it at their local HEB store and I bet we'll be seeing it pop up in drugstores any day now.
The display says that this is "the only foundation with a hypoallergenic gradual self tanner" and that it's "medium coverage" that "perfects while wearing and leaves a healthy glow after removal". It also claims to have no orange tone, no streaks and low to no odor and contains SPF 20. It comes in three shades: Light, Light-Medium, and Medium.
I'm not always excited by Almay but I have to admit, this one has me intrigued!
First, I like the thought of a two-in-one product that eliminates the step of using a self-tanner...if you're going to be wearing foundation anyway why not tan while you're at it?
Second, it would be nice to keep a little bit of "glow" even after I take my makeup off at night (or if I go without makeup some days which I do pretty often).
My only concern is that wearing it every day will result in a tone that's too deep for my fair skin....when you're fair you really have to be careful not to overdo it. That being said, I'm guessing that the lighter foundation shades have a very small amount of self-tanner in them. Plus in my experience self-tanner doesn't last as long on your face as it does on your body because of the constant exfoliation from cleansing twice a day and applying skincare.
What do you guys think? Are you excited about this one? Have you spotted it out in the wild yet?
I bought this today, and it gave me a good medium coverage as a makeup and I washed it off just a bit ago. I would say it gave me a light color on my face like I had been out in the sun. This is after my first time. So I don't know if I would be using it everyday!!!

Haven't washed my face off yet, but I used this foundation for the first time today and I was thoroughly impressed! It blended very nicely, was not greasy whatsoever, and gave amazing coverage! I also have large pores, and was happy to find that this foundation did not accentuate them. It even wore nicely throughout the day. I'm a fan!
ReplyDeleteI was unsure about the tone I picked (I'm fair and got the light/medium) and was at first fearful it was too light but it quickly gave a very subtle stain finish. I haven't worn it enough yet to see a glow, but am happy with it even if it doesnt.
