at blushgarden, we think differently about reading and writing beauty product reviews. we believe product reviews should provide you with detailed information, let the writer quickly and easily share their thoughts, and be a fun experience for all. to achieve this, we provide a ratings scale for distinct criteria, alongside traditional written comments. this format gives reviewers a way to provide an in-depth review of the same specific aspects of a product, allowing you zero in on the criteria that are most important to you.
without the need for long-form written text, everyone saves time. don’t let us discourage you from waxing poetic if you are so inclined, some people are gifted writers and should share if they want to. we just want to encourage and provide great reviews without that particular barrier to entry.
as an example, one rating criteria for foundation is formula thickness. formula thickness ranges from thin to thick. Thin might be a desired quality for you, while thick might be desired for someone else. there isn’t a right answer, only your opinion.
an added benefit to the scales is quickly seeing how a product might perform. you can identify that a product is rated highly for formula thickness without reading a lot of text. easily compare and evaluate similar products based on identical criteria. apples to apples, if you will.
we would honestly love to hear your feedback, if you have an idea for a new rating criteria, let us know! post in the feedback forum, or send us an email to .
not a review but perhaps helpful - here is a description from the source: What it is: A powder foundation with second-skin comfort that can be applied wet or dry for sheer-to-full coverage and a matte or natural finish. Who it's for: All skin types. What it does: This revolutionary lightweight, oil-free foundation powder blurs the line between real skin and makeup, creating a natural, long-wearing, color-true veil. It effortlessly evens your complexion, smoothing and perfecting skin's appearance. Created to move with your skin, the comfortable formula flexes easily without settling into fine lines. Water-resistant, it feels light and fresh and wears all day, instantly reducing shine, evening skin tone, hydrating and visibly reducing lines and pores. It comes with a sponge for easy application. How to use: For sheer to medium coverage, use the dry sponge. Apply just as you would a pressed powder. Avoid the eye area. For medium to full coverage, dampen the sponge then smooth the powder onto your face. For best results, use after your preferred foundation primer. Pro tips: For the most flawless, natural look, Laura says it's key to avoid over-applying foundation to the middle of the face-where too much formula can accentuate lines and other imperfections. With liquid, creme or powder, she recommends starting at the outer portion of the face and working inward toward the nose. Focus on one area at a time and be sure to blend well. Avoid excess application around eyes or the contours of the face. Repeat application until desired coverage is achieved.
