Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so much for joining me.
We have a very quick review for you today.
We? Me, just me.
We are trying the KVD Good Apple Full Coverage Serum Foundation.
Yes.
Bought two shades here.
I bought the light 021 and the medium 033.
I do have to say on their website the,
when I, looking at these shades now, it's difficult already
to kind of tell what the shades look like online.
It's not very accurate to what
you actually get in real life, so.
So this one's obviously too light.
This is the light 021.
So I think we're going to have to go for the medium.
This is the medium 033.
I'm going to do a wear test of this
today, so I'll be wearing it all day.
I'm not really doing anything strenuous today.
My skin is oily.
I used a serum to prep my skin, just like a
normal serum, as I usually do with all my foundations.
So let's do it.
Let's just get into it.
If this is your first time here. My name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on YouTube.
Also in real life. It's my goal to help you
become a pro yourself or just someone who's really good at makeup.
And I have to say, sorry if
my voice sounds a little bit weird.
I don't know what's happened.
You may have noticed over the last few videos, my neck,
my two glands here are completely swollen, like,
to a point where it hurts to swallow.
And it's just made my chin, like, extra, extra puffy.
Like it was puffy already.
Actually, I don't know when I'm going to post this,
so you might notice over the next video. I don't know.
It hurts, basically.
Okay, let's get into it.
So it says to shake well before use,
so that's exactly what I'm going to do.
It feels a bit thicker than what
I would expect for the word serum.
Yeah, this is going to be too light, but it's fine.
Oh, nice.
Wow.
It's really just initially, maybe it's the brush,
but it goes on really beautifully smooth.
I'm not going to wear any
other product with this either today.
I'm not doing like, concealer
or bronzer, or blush or anything.
It's a very strange formula.
It's like matte, but at the same time it
doesn't feel dry, you know what I mean?
And I was expecting for a serum foundation to have a
little bit of a glow to it or something,
but then I haven't read what it says about it online.
I tend not to when I'm looking into these foundations.
Just so I'm not swayed by the buzz words, you know?
I wouldn't usually put foundation around my eyes, but I
just want to even myself out a little bit.
Okay, so first impressions, like, straight up right now,
this is a lot drier on my skin than
I would have thought it would have been,
in terms of the finish and the texture, especially I'm
noticing around my nose where I'm more dehydrated.
It is looking quite dry and it looks
like foundation, is what I'm going to say.
And I did expect to have more of a,
I don't know, maybe like a satin finish or something.
"Good Apple Serum Foundation is a real mind..."
that word. "Full coverage with a natural finish."
I wouldn't say it was a natural finish.
It very much is foundation. "Transfer-proof,
extreme long wear and lightweight serum feel.
It covers everything from blemishes to
acne scars, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and more.
You've never seen natural, full coverage like this.
Pore blurring, natural finish.
Flexible..." something.
"... elastomer pigments.
Luxe recyclable glass bottle.
Versatile modern formula." You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to remove one side and try and
do a lighter coverage and see if that helps
because those claims on the website are absolutely not
what I'm getting from this at the moment.
And despite it being a different color, I
can still see the texture of the foundation.
It's not necessarily about the
shade, the texture's there.
Okay, I did prep my skin again, I probably just sort of cut
it out of the video, same way I did the other side.
I'm just going to use a brush with a bit of
a lighter coverage, and I'm just going to take like a
tiny bit at a time and just gradually build that up.
It can't make claims like that
and be the complete opposite, surely.
Okay, so this is the side with more.
It's very, very obvious.
And yes, I have textured skin, but I do use
other foundations that are absolutely fine on my skin.
This is the side with a little bit less coverage.
It's still very much there.
You can still see.
I might have to brighten this video a little
bit, but you can still very much see.
And I'll show you in natural light in just a minute.
You can see its foundation very much so.
I don't...
It's weightless on the skin. Like, I'll give it that.
You can't feel it.
It's a very strange texture.
I don't like right now. It's 09:00 in the morning.
I'm going to wear this for as long as I can.
Until it completely like, oils off my face. And we'll see how it goes.
So remember the lighter side is this side with the scar,
just in case I forget throughout the day. Light, light.
Okay, so I've come to this window because
I think this is the best lighting.
Why am I looking over there?
In terms of lighting in my house in general.
So this is the side with the fuller coverage.
It just looks, I mean, I know that's my skin.
I don't know. It just looks kind of dry.
This is the lighter coverage side.
It actually does feel a little bit tight.
I know I said earlier, I was like, I can't really feel
it, but it does feel a little bit tight on my skin.
Ignore this, that color change there.
So far, I'm not a fan.
Ignoring the color because obviously, the color is the wrong shade.
I don't know.
I don't know. I'm not keen.
Just come to this window as well, just for consistency.
This is where it's a little bit fuller coverage.
Can you see it's kind of dry? Look.
Look how it creases and bunches.
And it's very dry.
And I prepped my skin.
I'm wearing... I have eye cream, and I have a
Hyaluronic Acid serum, which is really hydrating on my skin.
I think when you hear serum,
you think hydrating like this kind of thing. It's just not.
Okay, so it is an hour and a
half later, and I absolutely hate this.
I really, really don't like it.
I'm in a different room, but it's the window
above the one downstairs, so it's the same sunlight.
The sun doesn't come in through
these windows, so it's constant.
Well, in this time anyway.
Look how, look, it's kind of separating around here.
I've worn foundations that have got super
oily, but they don't look separated,
they just look, like, a little bit shiny,
a little bit whatever, and it's fine.
Whereas this, I think, is kind of unsavable.
It's darkened quite a bit.
It's oxidized. The side where it's not so much coverage,
isn't so bad,
but I still don't like it.
And the thing is, as well, my partner,
who doesn't know really anything about makeup, wouldn't
realize if I have too much on or
wouldn't realize the color difference.
It wasn't this dark earlier either.
It wasn't as obvious.
Came in from going shopping to get us,
from getting us food for dinner tonight.
And there's only one other foundation he's said with
this, and that was the Wayne Goss one.
It was like, what's wrong with your face?
Because look.
Look how dry. Look. If I scrunch up. Look at how dry.
Look. Look.
My skin isn't like that.
My skin is not like that.
Oh, it just looks really dry.
And, oh, I really, really don't like it.
It's very drying.
So I'm kind of confused because I wouldn't recommend
it for people with dry skin, and I wouldn't
recommend it for people with oily skin either.
On me, it looks terrible.
I think maybe a light layer on a
well prepped, drier skin would be quite nice.
I don't like it on me.
I just think it's horrendous, to be honest with you.
I don't like it. Okay.
So I feel like I almost need to
debrief what happened with that foundation, because it
confused me in my own mind too.
And I feel like although my skin
was oily, like, it looked oily, right?
Like, my oils definitely got involved
with the foundation itself.
My skin still looked severely dehydrated.
It looked like I haven't had any kind
of water or something in the months.
It was awful.
And my skin, I've taken off all my makeup.
My skin isn't... like yes,
it like, creases when I push it
but it isn't dry like that.
You can't see texture like that when I push my skin.
Are my nails clean? No.
That foundation just made my skin look horrendous.
I had it on for almost 2 hours,
and it was awful.
When it came to removing it,
you're going to find you're going to need
a cleansing oil because it is long lasting.
It does kind of have this quite
a good firm grip on the skin.
I'll give it that.
But it just wasn't great on my particular skin.
And I do just worry on other people's skin,
considering I'm oily, how it would look on...
Like, I've never been dehydrated here, I do worry
how it would look on people's skin that is
actually dry when they move their face in general.
I didn't like that. I didn't like that
it completely changed how my skin look,
whereas other foundations don't do that.
Even the powder foundation I tried the other
week didn't do that, and that was powder.
So that's a little debrief there.
Okay, so that was my wear test and
review of the KVD Good Apple. What's it called? Serum?
Full Coverage Serum Foundation.
Let me know what you think below.
If you have this foundation already.
Yes.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I will see you very soon. Bye.
