{New} Incolor Matte Mousse Makeup – Warm Sand : Swatches & Review

Hi,

From last few years mousse foundation are summer favorite because they are lightweight & give smooth finish. Being light textured they do not suffocate skin but still gives nice performance in hot and humid conditions. We already are a fan of Maybelline Mousse foundation & Lakme 9 to 5 Mousse foundation. Today I am going to talk about a new launch from Incolor Cosmetics- Matte Mousse Makeup in Warm Sand. It is the cheapest mousse foundation that I have ever come across.

Price

Rs. 210 for 9g. Buy here.

Ingredients

Packaging

The outer cartoon is of light mustard color. Incolor Cosmetics is printed on the top and on once side of the box, while ingredients list is printed on the other side of the box. Manufacturing information etc are also printed on the box itself.

Inside the carton, there is a very tiny small transparent plastic tub with a light mustard colored cap on the top. Once I dropped the tub accidentally & the tub cracked. It proves that the packaging is not really sturdy. The tiny tub must be handled with care. though it travel friendly.

Fragrance & Texture

There is very faint cosmetic smell in the mousse foundation. I try hard to smell it and it’s just so faint that I can’t capture much of it. It’s a good thing.

Texture was it is very fine & smooth foundation as you expect a mousse foundation to be. It glides on skin smoothly. This foundation does not need a heavy layer of moisture underneath. If I apply some extra moisturizer before applying it, it turns bit patchy and hard to blend. On it’s own, it blends perfectly.

Shade – Warm Sand

Incolor presents 5 shades in the foundation which sounds great. But when I swatched the shades at the store, I was not impressed by the shade selection. The shades are mostly orangish & dark. The very first shade 01 Nutmeg is pink toned & light but that did not go with my wheatish skin tone.

I was confused between 03 Warm Sand & 04 Natural, picked up 03 but this too is bit orangish for my yellow tone. The next light shade 02, was pink toned :(.

Pigmentation

It is a light weight foundation, hence the pigmentation needs to be build up layer by layer. One layer does help in evening out skin tone (giving a orangish hue to my complexion). To cover up scars, I need another layer. But that just makes my face look dull & dark since it contains a lot or orange pigments.

Finish

It gives matte finish without any heavy  or greasy feeling. The matte finish that we desire during summer. That’s the magic of a mousse foundation.

Longevity

Honestly I have never worn it for more than 2-3 hours, because it is not a nice match for my skin tone. I have tries mixing it with other foundation but that totally ruins it’s texture.

Likes

• Lightweight texture.
• Smooth finish.
• Evens out skin tone.
• Build-able consistency.
• Budget friendly.

Dislikes

• Even though there are 5 shades in the range, but wheatish skin tones might find it hard to get their match.
• May give patchy application if used more quantity in single application.

Summary : 3.5/5

After a long time I found a dud. I know it might not sound a dud to you, but, I just do not feel like using it because it doe nothing much for me. It’s tricky to apply it. Otherwise it is a budget friendly product with light weight texture.

I would  say if you have not tried any mousse makeup yet, and are bit tight on budget, you can go for it, only if you can find your shade in the range.

Love.
