James Cooper Compact Cream Foundation

Review on the James Cooper Compact Cream Foundation

It is difficult to find a foundation that would suit you (skin type and tone) 100%. That is why I consider the search for a good foundation an endless cycle. I’ve stuck to my Maybelline Aqua Gel Foundation for years until I discovered CoverGirl Aqua Smooth Makeup Foundation. My flame with CoverGirl didn’t last that long, though, because of multiple factors.

Then I discovered James Cooper—bought and tried the compact cream foundation, and I was blown away. I think it is proper for me to share the goodness of this foundation.

I have dry skin, and cream based-gel based foundations suits be best.

Let us go through the pros of this product:

• Sturdy packaging—packaging reminds me that of MAC’s
• Available in many shades—I am CF-04
• Will last you a long time because…(read on)
• A little goes a long way—you will only need a little amount to cover a large area
• Blendable—you can blend it easily using a brush
• Suits dry skin type—because it is cream based, the consistency of the product will not dry up the skin
• Medium to full coverage—amazing coverage even without setting powder/concealing
• Doubles up as a concealer—you don’t have to apply concealer prior to application (which I demonstrated in the video embedded below)
• No pungent smell—a very important factor for me
• Affordable at PHP 550.00—it will last you a long time, so the price is worth it
• Expiration date indicated in the box—3 years after manufacturing date

Cons:

• You will need a mixing plate and a spatula to avoid double dipping

Good to know:

• James Cooper is made in France

Where to buy:

• Watsons, SM City Manila

Price:

• PHP 550.00
