MAKEUP ATELIER PARIS - Waterproof Liquid Foundation and Pressed Powder Review

I am not new to Makeup Atelier Paris, but the foundation and face powder I am reviewing in this post was a surprise for me. Many don't know that Makeup Atelier Paris is one of the top choices for Makeup artists globally. We get caught up with just a few brands and think there is no other, when in real, there are several brands out there which are not just equally good but even better. Makeup Atelier Paris happens to be one those brands.

I had previously reviewed Makeup Atelier Paris long wear Lip colour in Rouge Franc.The brand is not only known for their high definition Makeup but also for their state of art Makeup Academy. You can even check out great tutorials on their Youtube Page if you don't believe me. The brand offers a diverse range in Make-up; Foundations, Eyeliners, Lipsticks, Concealers, professional makeup palettes, you name it they may definitely have it.

MAKEUP ATELIER PARIS WATERPROOF LIQUID FOUNDATION:

The BRAND Claims:

"Long lasting water resistant makeup, the foundation settles on the skin to a near matte finish and is almost full coverage. For a more dewy finish apply over the iridescent makeup base".

My EXPERIENCE:

Did you know that this foundation is Youtube sensation and Pro-Makeup Artist Wayne Goss's favorite foundation? Well now you do and you are about to find out why. (Those who don't know about Wayne should seriously look him up, you are big time missing out!). As per Wayne it's the best foundation in the world.

I do have other foundation favorites, but this one is my go-to when it comes to formal events because it totally gives me a stress-free look all night (or till I am back home!).

- I got shades FLW5Y (Gilded Honey) and FLW3Y (Medium Ocre) because I have uneven skin tone and when I blended these two it perfectly adapted to my entire face. Both are yellow toned but FLW3Y is a tone lighter than FLW5Y

- Comes in 34 diverse shades for liquid foundation as well as liquid airbrushing formulas

- Packaging is simple, sturdy and easy to use. Contains 30ml of foundation per bottle

- Extremely waterproof, to the extent that you can go into the rain and it won't wash off (I haven't tried rain but it is super hard to take off)

- Long lasting, won't budge, no sweat

- Medium to full coverage which looks flawless without making me look cakey. Builds up according to preference
- Best applied through foundation brush or stippling brush

- Goes from liquid to a matt, powdery finish so you can actually skip the setting powder

- Suitable for all skin types - I am a combination to oily skin and I have been using this foundation for over two weeks now with no breakouts or rashes.

- Ideal for Bridal heavy Makeup and Film/TV Production

- High Price? Yes, it's for PKR.4,200/- but TOTALLY worth the investment. (Professional MUAs can get 30% discount on this foundation at Academy of Aesthetics). 

Will I buy this foundation again? I will without even giving it a second thought. I am totally loving the finish as well as the super long lasting quality. 

FYI: The back of your arm is MUCH lighter than your face, and mine is a bit pink too!

MAKEUP ATELIER PARIS COMPACT POWDER:

The BRAND Claims:

"A microfine silky mattifying setting powder containing fatty acids. The selection also includes a colourless HD powder."

My EXPERIENCE:

I already had a few face powders so got a clear one in this brand because I needed a setting powder. 

- I got CPC Clear which blends with whichever foundation you are using

- Smooth, silky formula
- Simple black, easy to use compact packaging

- I use it mainly over other foundations (rarely required on the Makeup atelier foundation unless super humid)

- Mattifying and sets like a pro

- I dab the brush on the powder with a BIG brush and gently brush all over my face and I am DONE

- Light on face

- Gives a flawless finish

- Oil-free and water-resistant

- Long lasting

- I don't know how it smells because I seriously didn't feel like smelling "Powder" and end up sneezing for life

- Retails at PKR.3,200/ steep for a Powder yes eventhough its super amazing

OVERVIEW:
I am quite impressed with this brand. I know many will find the pricing steep but its a Professional Makeup Artist Brand and cater to those who want the best of the best, and the quality really is very good. I dont mind saving up nd getting my self something that will make a big difference in makeup on me. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea in terms of cost, but it's still a daymn good tea!

AVAILABILITY:
Makeup Atelier Makeup is exclusively available in Pakistan at Academy of Aestheitcs and you can also get it online from the Brand's WEBSITE as well.
