Shade:
This product comes in two shades and my overall shade is Fair. As I do with the concealer by the same brand, I use the lighter shade on my T zone and the darker shade on the sides of my nose and on my cheeks.
Texture:
I would not even consider this a foundation...I don't know what this product really is. As far as my experience with makeup allows me to say, a foundation should be blendable and dewy and should be easy to apply with any brush, sponge or even with your fingers. With this, you cannot use any other brush other than a flat foundation brush (eg. Mac 190). The texture feels hard and very difficult to use while you are trying to take the product out of the pan, let alone trying to blend it on your skin. It does not blend at all and you have to really use many many strokes until something shows up and in the end your skin will look like a paper towel.
Problem:
As if what I said above wasn't enough, the packaging is also ridiculous. As you noticed, it comes with a little sponge that you see Eve Pearl herself using on her clients. I have tried using it but the sponge will barely pick up the product, wet or dry and will not blend the product on your skin whatsoever.
This kind of packaging with the foundation exposed in a pan also is prone to bacteria as you always put your brush in it, even if it is clean. Having constant contact with air is just bad and Ever Pearl should know that seeing how she is a makeup artist. Best foundations come in bottles with pumps.
Side Story:
What upsets me even more (yes, there is more) is that you will see people on Youtube reviewing this product as if it's the best thing ever...and now my concern is that most of these people are wannabe makeup artists who go to makeup school. Do not get me wrong here, because I was accepted into Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver and I was just as excited to go to makeup school as the girl next door. However, most of these girls who go in this industry know that you should never bash a well-known makeup artist as it could ruin your career forever. In fact, when I got in at Blanch Macdonald Eve Pearl was about to come as a guest and teach a course and give some advice. I was super excited to meet her because I always appreciated her and I guess I still do...but her products just suck. Back to the story line, most of these girls on youtube will not tell you that some products just suck because it will really affect their potential careers. (I am not talking about famous gurus who have nothing to lose as they are rich on their own.) At one point there was a girl on youtube who made a review about Eve Pearl's products, including the foundation the concealer and some eyeshadows I believe. She was very upset about the quality and she had other concerns as well that she addressed directly to Eve Pearl on her youtube page. The response she got back from Eve herself, was humiliating and insulting and not professional at all. Recently I wanted to find the video again but it's gone...no surprise, right?
Should you buy it?
NEVER! Please don't. It really is absolutely awful and expensive...
