BH Cosmetics Liquid Foundation Review!

For the past 3-4 weeks I have been using the new BH Cosmetics Liquid Foundation. I have two shades  (BH liquid foundation D3- Deep Cocoa, BH liquid foundation D7- Deep Ebony). D7 and D8 are the two newest colors for deeper complexions. I know it's weird that I jumped from D3 to D7 but I seriously wasn't sure which to get. Based off of reviews I had seen many women were using D3 who seemed to be around the same skin tone as me. I had ordered D3 but after calling BH Cosmetics they were RIDICULOUSLY kind enough to send me the second shade!

I'm still not 100 percent if I am a cool or warm tone person but I'd like to think that I'm somewhere in the middle. That being said, both foundations appeared okay..not a 100% match from the jump. D3 (Cocoa) seems light against my skin but after blending it in, you can't really notice the difference anymore. D7 (Espresso) however was just noticeably darker on my skin which surprised me because picture wise it looked like the ideal match. So after deciding that I just can't wear D7 I stuck to wearing D3.

*NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF*

The first thing off the bat that i noticed was that there is a SCENT..no SMELL to this foundation. It has to be the most scented foundation I have ever smelled. It smells like the perfume counter of estee lauder at Macy's to be honest. Wether that's bad or good is up to you. The foundation had a light constancy, almost too watery in my opinion. Each time I apply this foundation I use a stippling brush also from BH  Cosmetics. Normally 1-2 pumps are all I use for a foundation (usually just one on each side) but because this foundation is so light I find myself using 3-4 pumps. After applying I don't notice a difference from when I didn't have foundation on to when I do. I would say it's a really light coverage, like super light. Even when I go back in with a second layer it doesn't seem to build. IN MY OPINION it's more of a tinted moisturizer to me. My skin is extremely oily and it's always 90+ degrees here so I'm easily to become shiny. This foundation doesn't do anything for me in that department. I just become oily again within an hour of going outside. I normally use Milk of Magnesia primer but haven't with this foudnation so it could be the lack of the primer and not the actual foundation. For now though I don't think I will continue to use this foundation. When fall comes I will try it again but for now I have to put this back in the stash!

Everything I have said here has been MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE! I know there are a lot of positives with this foundation and although I do not have NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY, this foundation is just not for me at this point in time. Here are some pictures of me with the foundation on at different points for you to look at!
