Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer

A couple of weeks ago I came across a product called Sensual Skin Enhancer by Kevyn Aucoin. I had never heard of this makeup line before, but I saw a beauty guru on YouTube talking about it. So like every other new makeup I hear about, I began doing my research. First thing that made my eyes pop was the price! Yes, it was more than I anticipated but I sat back and said, "let's see what the big deal is about". As I read more about the sensual skin enhancer I began to learn about some pretty important points.

Not only does this tiny jar of product last you forever, the pigmentation is unbelievable. I have suffered from cystic acne my entire life so dark marks and scars have been hard to cover up for me. I hated having to pile on foundation and concealer just to cover those marks, with the end result being cake face (which is grotesque). The most difficult part was finding a color that matched because unfortunately this product isn't sold in any stores near me. I know that Nordstrom's carries it, but mine only had it online. So I went to trusty Amazon and began reading reviews for color matching. I couldn't decide between the SX07 or the SX08. I have a very olive skin tone so both of these were good color matches but apparently the SX07 was significantly lighter than the SX08. I ended up buying the SX08 and it is definitely darker than my skin but nothing drastic. Once the summer comes it will blend no problem, but for the time being I definitely have to blend and mix colors.

Overall, the coverage is amazing and the tiniest amount covers huge sections. I don't use it as a foundation because it is very thick. I only use it for spot coverage and this tiny jar will last me forever. This product is worth every single penny and is now my holy grail product. I cannot believe I haven't heard of this sooner and that it's not more well-known. Maybe this blog post will help push it's success ;)



Ciao!!
