Son & Park Air Chou Foundation SPF45 PA++ NO.23



I first heard about this product Son & Park Air Chou Foundation from Sokoglam. This retails for $40 on the website (free U.S. shipping of purchase over $50) for 18g of product. I purchased mine from ebay for $31.99 with free shipping(Internationally). There are two shades available, No.21 and No.23. I purchased mine in the shade No.23 which is Natural (fair to light beige skin tones with neutral to golden undertones).



Description:
The Air Chou Foundation compact contains SPF 45 PA++  and provides sheer but build-able coverage. The airy super-lightweight formula has a mousse-like texture but thoroughly hides pores and fine lines to give you a smooth, baby soft complexion. It also absorbs sweat and sebum, so you can retouch throughout the day to look fresh and dewy, never greasy.




How to Use:
Apply by lightly patting the cream onto your skin using the sponge applicator to create an airbrushed effect. Start at the center of your face and work your way outwards.
These shades are recommended for fair to light beige skin tones with neutral to golden undertones. 
Ingredients: Sorry, it's all in Korean and can't find English translations to them.

Revlon Colorstay 2in1 compact makeup and concealer




I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond for $12.79. 
You can get it from any drugstores, online retailers, Target, or Ulta.com.

Revlon's ColorStay 2-In-1 Compact is an expertly matched makeup + concealer that lasts all day.

Benefits:
  • Sweat resistant
  • Perfectly matched shades
  • Blends seamlessly to an even, semi-matte finish
  • All day wear
Ingredients-
Octyldodecanol, PEG-8 Beeswax, Silica, Ozokerite, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Polyethylene, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Polybutene, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, VP / Hexadecene Copolymer, Methoxy Amodimethicone / Silsesquioxane Copolymer, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Aqua (Water) Eau, Butylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Ethylparaben, Mica, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Dimethicone, Isopropyl Isostearate, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexonoate, Tribehenin, Isostearyl Behenate, Nylon-12, Boron Nitride, Lauroyl Lysine, Tridecyl Trimellitate, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Talc, Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax Cire De Candelilla), Myristyl Myristate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Lecithin, Lauryl PEG / PPG-18 / 18 Methicone, Pentahydrosqualene, Sorbitan Trioleate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Ethylene / Methacrylate Copolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Dehydroacetic Acid, BHT.
Two layers - one on top has a small concealer pan. It's a bit on the dryer side of the cream formula, and it's slightly lighter in color than the foundation. Staying power is not that great if not set with a powder, but the concept of this compact is great!
Second layer is the cream foundation. It's much more creamier and slightly slicker than the concealer.
A mirror on the other side of the cream foundation which is helpful but not at the same time. It's convenient for touch up on the go, but annoying if I have to keep flipping back and forth while applying. 
This sponge is kind of corse, and not very useful to apply products. It didn't blend out the cream stuff evenly on my face so I would skip this. Put a better sponge applicator inside the lower compartment since there's a lot of space there.
Left swatch is the foundation, and right swatch is the concealer. One is more yellow and the concealer is cooler/pinkish undertoned.
Under sunlight.
Under normal daylight.
