foundation review : skinfood black egg pore foundation

i wrote a post about egg invasion here, and i also post a review about egg soap here, and this one is another egg stuff i have in my drawer;
skinfood black egg pore foundation!!
description from skin food's website
A pore-smoothing foundation with a mousse texture that immediately melts on the skin and turns into a velvety matte finish while imparting flawless coverage for enlarged pores and fine wrinkles. Your skin will look as smooth and firm as a freshly hard-boiled egg white.

*To Use
Using the enclosed brush, apply an even layer in upward and outward motions.
 
i lost the outer packaging because i opened it and start using it when i was still in jakarta, but this is what it looks like 
picture i searched on google. there is also serum and primer for this line. the outer packaging is a plastic, not a carton box like most other foundation packaging.

this one is my first skinfood foundation. i've tried some famous skin food bb creams, but never tried skinfood foundation. since last year i have been looking for skinfood's foundation to try, but none of them stole my heart. and then this year they have this new line, a cute shape egg, with pore minimize target, just what i need. i have a pore problem on my nose, so when i look for foundation i am looking for foundation that can minimize and hide the pores. 
 
now let's take a look of the product;
there is a foundation brush attach to the lid that seperate the foundation and the brush.
there is a lid to cover the foundation.


the brush is small, flat, soft. actually it is a good brush. i have no problem with this brush, i don't need to use my etuse house fpundation brush to apply this foundation because the brush id good enough and perfect.

the swatch ;
i chose number 2. this is the colour before blend in
 after blend in

now for the product itself.. do i like it? you bet!
this is my favourite foundation this year!!
ok, let's review one by one. sorry, i got excited.hehe

the texture:
mousse-creamy pact type. easy to apply, easy to blend.
the smell :
almost nothing. in fact i tried to smell it very closely and it was only a soft foundation-like smell.
the colour:
number 2 is perfectly match for me, although i don't know how number 1 will look on me, because in my experience skinfood bb cream fit me both number 1 and 2.
performance:
very good! it smoothed and covered my pores well. i could feel my nose soft and not oily with this. matte and natural, adn it could last lost. i used this foundation for all special occasion (for everyday i use only bb cream), idul fitri, idul adha, friend's wedding, halal bihalal, you named it, i used this and i got a nice look for all day, no need touch up.
others :
i like the brush too!!!

This is a very helpful review i must say! Thanks a million. I'm getting obsessed trying the Skinfood skincare lines myself too nowadays! Been trying on their bb creams too. :)

May i know if the brush is assured to be halal too? I'm a lil pessimist about the brush though. It might be made from the pig fur. But if it's not, i might be getting this for myself too!! Heee~ :)
