So I finally gave into the hype, even though in Summer I tend to go for a tinted moisturizer, I finally gave in and grabbed a bit more coverage. Despite being a big fangirl of matte complexions, I do tend to love a bit of a dewy foundation at the moment. I know, I know- dewy is in for summer skin. Something about dewy, yet semi-matte gorgeous skin for summer just screams BEAUTIFUL! In comes Ardency Inn, a New York based beauty line blended with a bit of rock and roll for both on and off stage. High performance makeup that packs a powerful punch of perfection. Now after experiencing a few weeks of this bad boy, I have concluded it is a rock hard winner. So sit back and get ready to rock, cause this is a good’un- beauty meets Rock-n-Roll with a Simple Trick for Gorgeous Skin this Summer…
Ardency Inn Americana Collection is hands down PHENOMENAL at its best. Rich in pigment, high in innovation- this line seriously rocks. Ardency Inn Americana Custom Coverage Concentrate– $38 USD, this bit sized bottle packs a solid punch of oomph. A solid 0.5 oz, being a bit smaller than the average bottle of foundation- this bottle will last at least two times as long. Natural in application with a bit of a dewy + matte like finish with build-able coverage from medium to full. Oh my gawd– this custom coverage concentrate is amazingness in a bottle. A bit beauty and a bit rock-n-roll, this foundation lives up to its hype and then some.
Lets talk about the lasting power? Holy geeze this foundation seriously ROCKS. A solid 8 hours to 10 hours of wear time. Ten shades of goodness that can cover most skin tones, and application-wise this foundation is super smooth with your favorite foundation buffing brush or my trusted beauty blender.
Simple as can be:
* Prep skin with your favorite primer. I used Ardency Inn Americana Ultra Lightweight Skin Perfecting Primer– $34 USD
* Shake the Custom Coverage Concentrate then use the back of the hand as a mixing board.
*Mix one parts favorite moisturizer- I used Embroylisse Lait de Concentrate since it sinks in the skin perfectly. And Mix one part Ardency Inn Custom Coverage Concentrate, I used the shade Medium Golden and I am in love, love, love!
* Blend into the skin and watch skin transform effortlessly into perfection. I swiped on with a slanted buffing kabuki brush and then finished the application with my trusty Beauty Blender.
*Voila instant beautiful perfection and coverage.
Comparison time this custom coverage concentrate hands down is unlike anything else I have ever tried. The closest that I can compare it to is that of RMCA foundation palette which is pure cream pigmented foundation. I find myself mixing together Ardency Inn Custom Coverage Concentrate daily and literally falling more and more in love with it each day. Blended over the cheeks and all over the T-zone, this semi matte yet dewy like coverage will be on my face all summer long and I am loving it– ya feel me?
