Ultimate Foundation in Medium-Deep Beige-Pink Undertones, 500B Series by cinemasecrets

I ordered this foundation in shade 110-23A which is very dark brown shade and I wanted to use it as cream contour. The texture is very creamy and it blends perfectly with both brush and beauty sponge. It's very pigmented and thick so just a small amount of it would be enough to give you the coverage you want. As a foundation, it has semi matte finish with medium to full coverage if you apply more. It doesn't have dry texture which I really liked about. I have dry skin and it doesn't make my skin dry or make it look cakey. Although it has very good coverage but it feels super light weighted on skin and it's a plus for me.

good coverage, hardly transfers to clothes, hands etc. the color was slightly off but I was able to lighten it up with other makeup. I need just a small amount on my sponge to get coverage, but I the down side, this product is very drying on my skin. I will most likely use it as a spot cover rather than for a full face foundation.

This may be good for stage makeup, but it is not great for me. It is a thick cream. This is much darker than my skin tone, so I thought I could use it as a contour. It is like smearing something thick on my face. It is a lot of work to try to blend it in. I would probably love it if this was a powder, but I can not see wearing something this thick as a foundation.

Love the formulation. Got the wrong color in that it is too dark for me. But it is a beautiful color with no red tones, and I appreciate that. Cinema Secrets makes some good foundations and under eye concealers, but I find color selection to be near impossible online.

Wow!! That was the first word that came out of my mouth, after I swatch it on my arm. I’m definitely adding this foundation to my stable of favorite cream foundations. This foundation blends so perfectly with my skin tone, I’ve used both a beauty sponge and a foundation brush to apply this foundation, and I prefer the beauty sponge. The consistency is a little on the thicker side, which works well with a beauty sponge. A little goes a long way. This can go from medium to full coverage. I prefer a more sheer coverage, where my skin is able to still be seen under the foundation. And I was able to sheer the foundation out by using just a tad bit. This foundation melted into my skin without clogging my pores. I wore it for 12 hours and didn’t have to touch it up. Overall I’m pleased with this foundation. Especially with the color match.

Got this for a friend who tried it out and said she loved it. It covers blemishes very well. She said it was a little darker than her actual skin tone, but she mixed with another makeup product to get it lighter so it matched. The shade is still ready pretty and it’s great that this company has shades for people with very dark skin, as it can be hard for them to find makeup that matches their skin color.

I don't wear a lot of make up because it's hard to find the right foundation. However, this foundation was easy to apply and didn't make my skin break out. The color was a good match and it didn't just rub off as easily as some other foundations that I have used.

This particular shade is too dark for my skin tone; however it does provide nice coverage. Combining more than one shade ensures the perfect color match. The key is to not use too much and apply sparingly with a sponge. I've also found that applying in natural light ensures that I don't use too much.
