James Cooper Cream Foundation

this is how it looks like

i got CF-02 because there are only 3 shades available in SM North. The SA told me to get this shade because (though darker than my skintone) my problem is red pimple marks. and CF-01 has pink undertone (that's also what the SA told me). i look "fake" (haha!!) when i use stuffs that has pink undertone.

this is how it looks like when you open it:

 sorry for the holes because i use brush when applying it. i get better result when i use brush. more natural but covered. (coverage of this cream foundi is to die for! haha!! )

swatch:

 see the last photo? it is really darker than my skintone.

since i love its coverage what i do is to blend it with liquid foundation that is really close to my skintone. and the finish product?

 very nice =) natural but very much covered. i forgot to take before picture. but the condition of my face: deep red pimple marks (cheeks) with visible pores.

 pros:
- provides med to full coverage yet will still give you natural look
- doesn't break me out
- very affordable. PHP550.00 only
- creamy. very easy to blend
- stays the whole day
- not oily
- will not cake no matter how many layers you make

cons
- not my exact match (skintone)

will i repurchase again:
- maybe if they make other shades that's closer to my skintone.

status:
- i want to try VOV since they have similar coverage and finish (that's what the SA told me). i really really want JC's coverage.
