Dayeong XO Black Stick Foundation Review

Product Description
Creamy, stick type foundation that evens out the complexion.
There are two shades available:
#21 Bright
#23 Natural

Price
You can purchase each stick foundation for $25 at Memebox. I used a 20% promo code with 20 Meme points and paid $20 for both.

My Thoughts
I didn't own any stick foundations prior to ordering these so I couldn't resist trying them out. (There are also two blushes and three lipsticks that are sold in the Dayeong collection) I like the black packaging and it's simple, in a good way, like all of the Memebox XO products. I thought the packaging the foundation came in was really cool and reminded me of the origami fortune teller. You know, the game where you pick a few numbers and each one leads you to a fortune.

There isn't really a scent to the foundation. There are only two shades and it caters to light-medium skin tones. Luckily, they're a perfect match for me. If you are very pale or have darker skin, both shades will not work for you. There really isn't too much of a color difference between the two when you put them together side by side. Just like the names imply, #21 makes the complexion brighter and #23 is like a normal foundation that gives you natural looking skin. You can even incorporate both shades and apply #21 under the eyes, to the bridge of the nose and lower forehead and use #23 on the rest of the face.

#21 Bright Skin and #23 Natural Skin

The formula to these stick foundations are amazing!!!!! I have been reaching for them every day since I received them. They are extremely creamy without making my skin too oily. I do see oil start to creep in around my T-zone area after 3-4 hours but they don't leave the sides of my nose and chin area looking patchy. A blotting sheet will take care of any oiliness without disturbing the makeup. This gives medium coverage and is buildable to full coverage. You get better coverage when using a brush and a lighter coverage when applying with fingers. The foundation also sinks into the skin seamlessly and feels like skin. I would forget I was wearing foundation throughout the course of the day.

I didn't experience any oxidation with the color. The wear time for me was around 5-6 hours before I felt like some fading set in. Dry skinned ladies will probably be able to get a few more hours of wear time. I'm wondering if the formula will work for me in the summer since I have full on oily skin when the weather starts to warm up. Regardless, this foundation might be my new holy grail product for the fall, winter, and early spring seasons. I hope Memebox will continue to sell these stick foundations and introduce more makeup collaborations with other Korean beauty gurus.


Final Thoughts

 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this foundation!!! There's nothing more that I can say, except that I'm digging both shades and will repurchase in the future.


Hope you all had a good weekend and thanks for stopping by,
