Nordic Veil Foundation - Full and Poreless Coverage, Long Lasting, Soft Matte Finish - Purified and Safe for Sensitive Skin - 307 Disa - Light Medium Neutral - 0.88 oz

I have tried so many foundations to match my skin tone, Nars, Urban Decay, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, and on down the line. I am a pale neutral, bordering on cool, undertone and almost every foundation, is too yellow or too pink on me, even though they are listed as neutral. I bought both the Journn and the Saga, thinking the Journn might be too light, but it's perfect. The texture is nice, and I don't find it too matte or too shiny. There is a bit of an odd smell when you first apply, but it goes away very quickly. I am glad I finally found something that makes my face match the rest of my skin. Totally natural looking! The coverage is great as well and gives a smooth even tone to start with before applying the rest of my makeup. After months of research, I found this by accident, and I'm so happy I did!

I matched by the pictures and the color swatch. Which is very off. I am a light medium peaches and cream or a light 2 sometimes a light 1 but still in the peaches and cream category. I usually use yensa super silk serum in light 2 and her concealer under eyes in light medium 1. I can use her light 1 but it washes me out and I need to add color back in, but it matches me neck. My neck is a cool pale and never tans or won’t take a fake tan.The pictures you’re seeing are from inside light, filtered, direct sun and soft outdoor lighting on my front porch. This foundation didn’t take much, easy application and smooth. This is how I want my makeup to go on, effortless. You just have to find the right color . It’s tricky as they use powder swatches and obviously they are off. My wrist on the inside is the same color as my neck, pale neutral, but my exposed body and face are all different shades. I thought it be fair to place it in an area to give justice to the accuracy of the color as it blended into the back of my hand just fine. Once you have your color, it’s dream to apply and feels amazing on. Great coverage for a runny foundation. Highly pigmented and that is why it is important to get the right color. I blended my down on the jaw line using my Catrice beige neutral concealer to make it less peach on me. It gave me a Brody beach look, should’ve blended the neck in better. But very happy with this foundation. It does have a mineral smell to it, almost powdery. Much like the old fashion high end foundations from the 80’s and 90’s. It takes me back to my mother’s modeling days and how pretty she always smelled and looked. It didn’t bother me.

Lasting time: This stays on for a long time, which is important to me since I use it to cover rosacea, and I don't want my redness popping back out in the middle of the day. I put it on at 5am before heading off to work, and its still on at 11pm when I get ready for bed.Amount: You need much less of this foundation than others -- I generally used 2 pumps in other brands and less than one pump in this -- so the bottle will last a long time.Application: I have tried it with a dense brush and a sponge, and either way it looks very skin like; the main thing is to just use the tiniest bit. I used a full pump the first time and it looked caky because it was just too much product. With less product, it comes out great.Shades: There is an excellent shade reference on Idun Minerals' site, cross referencing with other brands. I don't notice much oxidation.Scent: There is a scent, but it fades quickly.

I won’t be ordering this again. It’s nice that it’s pretty natural but the smell is pretty strong and unpleasant and it rubs off my skin after blowing my nose even once.

For reference, I wear Estee Lauder in shade 1NEcru or Nars Soft Matte Foundation in Mont Blanc. I would consider myself very nuetral/olive. Not too warm and not too pink but a touch of green in there. When I took this out to use, I had to shake it very well and squeeze the oil out before it finally thickened. After this I took my blendie to swatch and while it blended out seamlessly and gave my skin a satin-matte look, the shade Extra Light was a bit toooooo light. I'll order the next shade up since I like the coverage (medium/full) and see if that once matches.

I cannot put this on my face, it smells like something died. It smells expired like the oils went rancid. Disgusting.

This is the best makeup I’ve ever found and I’ve tried many. It gives you full coverage and isn’t oily and also doesn’t dry your skin. It’s the absolute best by far. Kudos to the maker.

Pale girlies know it can be a real struggle to find something that is even close to light enough. This foundation is ACTUALLY pale enough! That being said, if you have extremely cool/rosy undertones like me, this won’t be a perfect match. It’s close enough that I’ll still wear it, but I’ll really have to blend it onto my neck.It is very full coverage, and has a nice finish to it. Not too matte or too glowy. Very strange smell initially, but that goes away after application.

I used it for the first time yesterday, and the smell of the foundation is terrible, like truly awful.. dead flowers.. or at least the worst parfume combination possible. But, I had good hopes for the product, I put it on my face in the morning with a make up sponge (before I hydrate my face and used a primer), after 2 hours I could see that the foundation turned ugly. I will def not recommend it and I will not be buying this again, E V E R.

The packaged looked terrible. The article was opened and used. I was feeling bad only by looking at it, not to keep this product and use it.

I bought this product because I was looking for a liquid foundation that is long lasting, suitable for sensitive skin (neurodermatitis and rashes on my cheeks) and matches my skin color. Unfortunately, this product dehydrates my skin so much that it looks wrinkled, even though it's not. I used a serum and a primer before putting on the foundation, but I ended with a cakey makeup after a few hours. I used the foundation a couple of days and my skin got dryer with every day. It took me a couple of days to get my skin back to normal. I'm not going to use this foundation any longer.I really loved the shade of the foundation - it matched my skin color perfectly. It's probably a good foundation for someone with oily skin. But for me it was a bad buy.
