Juvia's place has done it again, i know this post might be coming in a bit late but i think it is never too late to share my thoughts on this foundation. Juvia's is a black owned company by a lady named Chi-chi who is a Nigerian but based in America. I am all about the base when it comes to makeup application, a skin like foundation is what i love and not something heavy and cakey. Juvi'as place launched their i am magic velvety matte foundation last years, with 42 shades numbering from the blackest to the lighter i must say this is a brilliant ideal.
I could not get my hands on this foundation during the initial launch reasons being that the shade i wanted was already sold out and i had to wait for a restock of the foundation from their website since beauty bay did not carry this on their website which would have been a lot easier for me to get since i am not in the US. If you are in Europe you can get Juvia's place products on : https://www.beautybay.com but remember that they not stock all Juvia's place products.
After watching a couple of reviews and swatches on YouTube i brought the shade Malawi, Malawi is for dark skin with golden undertones, initially i did not know if this will work for me as i am used to foundations with warm undertones, i am glad i went for the shade Malawi as this matches me perfectly, the undertone was right on spot for me. If you are someone that loves a full coverage foundation this is for you, but i personally do not like a full coverage foundation on myself, i love my skin to breath and have that skin-like finish, i am not saying you can not get that with this foundation, of course you can with just one pump. I will say when applying this foundation do not be heavy handed because a little bit goes a long way.
When i applied this on my face it felt very heavy on my skin which i really do not like, although my application was with a brush and this is how i would typically application my foundation, i do not use sponges on myself when applying my foundation, i am old school i love to use brushes, push and stable the product onto my skin. My skin type is combination skin that is to say that i get oily on my T-zone and the rest of my face is normal, so i go in and prime only my oily area.
The foundation looks small but it is not, it contains 30ml/10FL.OZ of foundation and it is highly concentrated and rich, the formulas of the foundation is velvety, it feels like a cream foundation but it is not and i also love the facts that the tube is plastic which makes it travel friendly and less messy.
While i was applying this foundation to my face it did not feel sticky at all, it just blended and melted onto my skin but on my face it felt like i had too much product, may be i used too much who knows, the price point of 20$ you can not be beat that, this is very affordable. The only con when it comes to this foundation is that each time i use it the next day i see rashes all over my face, and when i stop using it the rashes would go away but as soon as i went back to using it again i get the same reaction on my face so i stopped using it. I think this has to do with the ingredient in the product, there might be something in there that my skin is reacting to. Apart from what i have stated i highly recommend this foundation because it works for all skin type, a wide range of shades and undertones, it is easily to blend, it offers a lot of coverage, and does not have any funny smell. Kindly find attached a demo and full review video of this product as well as i am a warrior 1 eyeshadow pallet.
