Sante Cream Foundation Reviews

Review of Sante Soft Cream Foundation
By Anisa B.

This Sante Soft Cream Foundation comes in a 30ml pump top see through bottle. It dispenses an adequate amount and can be controlled which I like, as you do not waste any product. It is also hygienic and mess free.

The texture of the Sante Soft Cream Foundation is thick and creamy, more cream-like than fluid, once you dispense it onto your hand, it does not move around. It has a ‘natural’ smell, it does not smell of chemicals/perfume like many foundations on the market today. Upon reading the ingredients, I can see that it has essential oils in it which is what gives it its fragrance. It blends easily on the skin like a moisturiser would, either with the fingers or a brush.

Sante says: Sante Soft cream foundation with precious mineral pigments for a velvety, especially flawless complexion. Gives your skin a fresh, pleasant feel. With cupuaƧu butter, pomegranate extract and valuable organic jojoba oil and now in a bottle with an airless pump. Free of paraffin and silicone oils. All the talc in Sante products has been certified as being free of any asbestos traces and is not nano-refined, so it cannot become airborne or penetrate the skin.
I feel the ingredients in this foundation give is a hydrating feel and in turn, does not dry the skin out or make it uncomfortable as do many other unnatural foundations today due to their chemical ingredients.

I am quite pleased with this Sante Soft Cream Foundation as I have normal-dry skin and find that this foundation glides on like a moisturiser, feels hydrating and makes my skin look natural but eradicates my flaws. It lasts well through the day, approximately 6-8 hours which is adequate for me. The shade I was sent was 03 which is a medium shade and matched well for me. The coverage is light-medium, I find if you use a damp sponge it applies more sheer and if you use your hands, you get a light coverage and with a foundation brush, you get a more medium coverage. I find that this sets to a natural/soft matte finish, it does not give a dewy/satin finish. I also liked the fact that I did not break out or get any irritations from this product, which I get from nearly every foundation! That in itself was a feat for me. Overall, I think it is a very good buy at £17, it looks natural and does not upset the skin. I would only recommend this for normal skins or those on the drier side. Those with oily skins may need to powder often.

The pros of this Sante Soft Cream Foundation are:
- It is hydrating and moisturising
- Controllable pump, so no wastage
- Looks natural & contains good ingredients
- Smells lovely

The cons are:
- There are none!
