New NEUTROGENA® Nourishing Long Wear Makeup sure makes your skin happy. Continue reading for more exciting info on this skincare solution!
I am always very skeptical when it comes to trying new products that go on my skin. I have very sensitive skin and just one little thing can make my face go all red and blotchy. I received this full size sample in the mail for free from BzzAgent to try. The product is a long wear makeup that should last up to 12 hours even resisting heat and humidity. It also has a tone correcting complex that is clinically proven to make skin tone look more even in just 4 weeks.
At first glance looking at it, the color looked WAY to dark for my skin The color was Nude 40. I wasn't going to try it for this reason alone. I gave my sample to my friend Jill to try. Within a day I had received a second bottle in the mail (Must of been a mistake). I asked Jill how she liked the makeup and she said she was wearing it currently and it seemed good so far. She said the color seemed to disappear on her skin. I decided then to try it myself because our skin tones weren't that different in shade.
I decided to wear the foundation to work the next day, giving it a shot. It is supposed to be a 12 hour long wear formula so a full day at work should put it to the test. I applied the liquid with a wet sponge to get an even application all over my face. It went on very smooth and felt light. Once it set I didn't feel it at all. The coverage was surprisingly very good. My skin wasn't really problematic at the moment so just evening out the skin tone was nice.
I wore it all day at work and normally halfway through my day I get very oily when I have a foundation on my skin. At midday I noticed a little bit of shine, but nothing compared to my normal reaction. I made it a whole day and the coverage was still in tact and the shine was at minimal. I was very happy with it. It is however winter, so I haven't been able to put it to the heat and humidity test yet.
I tried it again a few more times and then noticed my skin starting to break out. It made me suspicious to the makeup so I discontinued use. I checked back in with Jill to see how she was doing with the makeup. She had nothing bad to say. She was currently using it as her primary foundation and found it was actually helping her skin. She had not experienced any breakouts and noticed at times when she would normally see a breakout, she now wasn't seeing at all. Needless to say, Jill is a happy customer when it comes to the Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear makeup. She has already recommended it to friends.
I have recently determined that the makeup was not my source of breaking out and I will continue to use it. I really liked it and was upset when my skin broke out. I did more research on the product and did find it is quite pricey. A 1 fluid ounce bottle is roughly around 15.99. One good thing about this is a little goes a long way and you will get a lot of use out of the bottle for the price.
Overall I think it is a nice product. I am not 100% sure I will repurchase once this bottle is used. This is only because I have to really use it longer to see if it really helps my skin out in the long run or if its just another gimmick to get a dollar. Jill has provided me some before and after photos of her wearing the makeup as a visual to what the makeup can do. I want to thank her for that and appreciate her help in this review.

As you can see thanks to Jill, this stuff really has nice coverage. It brightens her right up. Her skin is doing really well with this and I am so grateful she let me use her as a model in this review!
