YESSSSSS!!!!! Finally found my HG foundation, no kidding! I read about it in this month’s Good Housekeeping magazine w/an interview w/Hannah Storm.

She mentioned she uses Lycogel foundation to cover a birthmark on her face. I thought “Hmmmm, I never knew that she had a birthmark… that stuff must really work!”. I have a port wine stain on the left side of my face. It’s not on my cheek & higher up by my ear, so I usually don’t care too much about covering it, since my hair does that for me.

What I do care about is finding a foundation for my ultra-sensitive skin. So far, every foundation I’ve tried seemed to eventually break me out, or if not outright doing so, I’d noticed an increase in blackheads. Not so with this! I’ve tried so many “pure” foundations for my temperamental, sensitive skin, including just about every mineral foundation out there & had rotten luck… either with skin reactions and/or overall look / texture, etc.

The Lycogel Taupe covers my birthmark, makes my skin look without caking and when I remove it at the end of the day, my skin looks even better! No dry patches, not too oily, no breakouts or no new blackheads!

Lycogel is pricey, but a little goes a long way

This foundation covers well and is kind to sensitive skin. The first few times I used it I felt like I had a death mask on. Then I wised up and used half the amount I would with other makeups, I started putting it on with a sponge and it did resemble a second skin. I was then able to work with it to cover problem areas. I recommend it as long as you take the time to learn how to use it.

Lycogel is different. Sometimes you cannot even tell that you are wearing it. It’s not oily or greasy.

The coverage is very smooth. It does not sink into wrinkles like many other foundations.

It is so light that you actually get tempted to “cake” it on which is completely unnecessary. If you just apply it lightly with a sponge, the coverage is quite impressive.
