Lakme 9 To 5 Weight Less Mousse Foundation : Swatches & Review

It’s been a while since I reviewed a foundation. I was about to review Lakme Absolute White Intense Cover, but It’s still lying un-published because, I am yet to click it’s pictures. When I got my hands on to test Lakme 9 to 5 weigthless foundation, I could not resist myself from writing about it after using it just a few times.

Lakme 9 To 5 Weight Less Mousse Foundation

Lakme 9 to 5 WEIGHTLESS Mousse Foundation is your answer to a workings women’s barrier to using foundation. It is a lightweight foundation meant for everyday use. It is so lightweight that you won’t even feel you are wearing foundation.

Price

Rs. 575 for 29 gm.

Shades Available

• Rose Ivory [pinkish undertones for fair skin tone]
• Rose Honey [pinkish undertones for medium skin tone]
• Beige Vanilla [yellow undertones for wheatish skin tone]
• Beige Caramel [ yellow undertones for dusky skin tone]

I got Rose Ivory. A very wrong shade for me. Beiges go very well on me though.

How To Use

• Apply Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Foundation to clean, moisturized skin.
• Just take a small amount of product with the index finger and start applying it to the skin with your fingertips. Usually, you can just apply the mousse in four places: the forehead, nose, chin and cheekbones.
• Blend into your skin starting from the centre of the skin outwards, taking care to cover your face including your neck.

Packaging

It comes in an opaque peach coloured tube with silver screw on cap. Travel friendly.

Texture & Smell

The texture is way to smooth, as soon as you apply it on your skin it just vanishes away into the skin. The smell is mild and pleasant.

My Views

After Mineral foundation which feels so light, actually does not feel on skin at all. The claim of being weightless is so true. It feels like you are not wearing anything, yet it gives coverage.

The coverage that it provides is medium yet you can build up the coverage to get desired results.

The texture as I said earlier, is too fine and smooth that it glides effortlessly on skin. As soon as it touches my face, it just vanishes away. I feel like it’s evaporating.

It is oil free, I mean totally oil free, I always moisturize well my skin (even though I have oily skin). If I don’t moisturize my skin before using this foundation, my face looks little flaky, which is not a good luck of course.

The foundation stays put since it’s oil free, does not smudge or wears off soon. It stays for at least 5-6 hours.

Other makeup also goes on easily since it create a very smooth base. I feel it’s loaded with silicons because it makes my face slippery.

Like

• I am amazed by the texture it has.
• It actually does not feel like you are wearing something. Great for summers when you don’t feel like wearigng anything… errr.. I mean by makeup.
• Gives medium & buildable coverage.
• Nice shades to choose from.
• Does not break out skin.
• Affordable.
• Convenient & travel friendly packaging.

Dislikes

Its loaded with chemicals, my guess, it’s silicons, due to the slippery feeling it gives. Silicons might react badly with your skin.
