If you haven't yet discovered Sculpted by Aimee, it's time to take note. Founded and entirely self-funded by make-up artist Aimee Connolly, the brand has garnered a loyal following for products like MyMascara and the Satin Silk Longwear Foundation, which one beauty editor hails as the best foundation she has ever used.
The foundation is designed for oily skin types, offering full coverage with a thick formula. A single pump is enough to cover the entire face, and it can be mixed with moisturiser for a medium-coverage finish. The formula includes hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, along with niacinamide and centella asiatica, and is non-comedogenic. The pigments are sweat-resistant, ensuring long-lasting wear even on oily skin.
Application is best done with a dense brush, buffing from the centre of the face outward. The foundation evens out skin tone brilliantly, though prominent spots may require concealer. The finish is matte but with a healthy, 'lit from within' quality, avoiding a flat appearance.
Longevity is a standout feature; after more than seven hours of wear without setting spray, the foundation remains largely intact with minimal shine. For those seeking full coverage, long-lasting wear, and a natural matte finish, this foundation is highly recommended.
