I love dewy and semi-dewy foundation finishes, and for me it is imperative to have buildable coverage that looks beautiful and natural whether worn quite sheer or built-up. Therefore, I was thrilled to try the Osmosis Colour Long Wear Liquid Foundation as well as their phenomenal Osmosis Colour Age Defying Treatment Concealer. 

Osmosis Colour Long Wear Liquid Foundation is made for all skin types, and is a wonderful formula for my normal/combination skin. It can be sheered out for a natural, my skin perfected appearance, or built-up to full coverage without looking cakey or unnatural. It has a beautiful semi-dewy finish that offers skin a beautiful natural glow. 

It glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits color evenly and it neither settles into fine lines, nor does it emphasize pores. Furthermore, this long-wear foundation is water resistant, and it lasts all day on my skin. It has no detectable fragrance, and therefore will not bother people who are intolerant to fragrant foundations.

According to Osmosis,

A true long wear formula, each Osmosis Colour Long Wear Liquid Foundation is water resistant and will never make skin appear oily or too dry. Instead, each foundation provides a semi dewy finish that's sure to last all day.

After each use, skin will look natural, luminous and lifted. What makes it so is the Goji Berry Blend Extract (lycium barbarum fruit extract) as it is a powerful antioxidant and skin conditioning agent. Goji berry extract includes amino acids and proteins to aid skin cells in regenerating. These orange-red berries, also referred to as wolfberries, are considered by some to be a veritable fountain of youth.

Left to Right: Long Wear Liquid Foundation in Natural Light, Long Wear Liquid Foundation in Fair and Age Defying Treatment Concealer in Silk.

Osmosis Colour Long Wear Liquid Foundation in Fair is a better match for my skin tone than Natural Light– which is a little warmer than my complexion. However, I also mix the two shades together and am pleased with the results. Age Defying Treatment Concealer in Silk is a great color match  for me when I need to neutralize dark circles when they occur.

Osmosis Age Defying Treatment Concealer in Silk is a revelation in concealers, and it is unquestionably the one with which I am the most obsessed. It is a two-sided concealer with a moisture stick on one end and the concealer on the other. One simply has to lightly apply the balm to hydrate and plump the delicate skin around the eyes (and the lips for that matter), and it serves as a perfect base for the concealer. The concealer boasts buildable coverage, and maintains a natural finish– even when built up for maximum opacity. I simply apply the balm sparingly, slow it to melt into my skin, and then I apply the concealer. The antioxidant-rich formula nourishes and hydrates the skin, and efficiently covers dark circles and any other imperfections that you seek to conceal (on the face or body).

According to Osmosis,

This ingenious duo contains both a concealer and moisture stick. Full of Argan Oil, Apricot Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamin E to nurture delicate areas, the moisture stick hydrates and plumps to soften lines and wrinkles around eye area and lips. The Age Defying Treatment Concealer covers dark circles, camouflages pigmentation and redness on face and body. 

With a soft sponge applicator on the other end, the liquid concealer is a non-comedogenic formula that will not clog pores or cause breakouts. It’s rich, intense pigments will easily mask dark circles, pigmentation, redness, and blemishes. Simply pat the formula in and blend with your fingertips to leave skin that looks younger, smooth and without blemish.
