TRUE COLORS PARIS AT ONLINE FASHION STORE

TRUE COLORS PARIS AT ONLINE FASHION STORE

Launched in September, True Colors Paris is a new multi-ethnic range created by Fatou Sarr (a former sales director of Fashion Fair and consultant for various brands and cosmetics brands). Like all those who embark on the creation of a range of make-up  for black, mat and mixed skin, Fatou Sarr is part of the observation that few brands meet the specific and specific needs of mat to dark skin * . She therefore decided to put her experience and expertise in the development of a qualitative range, adapted, distinguished but accessible.

What is special about True Colors Paris?

Fatou Sarr explains it very well herself: "The dyed beauty products are without fatty substance, without added perfumes and contain sun protection. Finally, the purity of the pigments in the composition of the eyeshadows and blushes is a real added value. is luminous on all skin types. The brand is therefore intended for all Beauties. With it, the segmentation of shopping according to skin color disappears. This is also the philosophy of TRUE COLORS Paris . " Finally, the textures of the products are light and non-comedogenic . The active ingredients present such as chamomile , Aloe vera and panthenol moisturize and protect the skin while sublimating its true nature.

Let's start with the complexion , a key element of makeup, which can often turn out to be a huge source of disappointment (isn't it?). I had the advantage of testing the VIP fluid foundation (adapted to the nature of my skin and my wish for natural makeup) and the Secret Touch compact powder . I would like to emphasize that, thanks to the low content of titanium dioxide and a subtle balance between yellow and red pigments, True Colors foundations and powders are suitable for all skin tones , whether they are in tone beige, golden, honey, caramel, chocolate or ebony *!

The VIP fluid foundation (available in 8 shades ) is unique. First by its appearance and its ingenuity. It is a foundation with integrated brush (it is the first time that I see this kind of system). To collect the desired amount of foundation, just gently press the push button located at the other end of the brush. The long and rounded shape as well as the packaging of an intense purple (spearhead of the range), are, moreover, absolutely chic. However, the opacity of the color of the packaging means that we do not know where we are as to the quantity of product remaining.

My impressions.

The fluid foundation is light ( non-greasy ) and can be applied without any difficulty on the face (we start from the inside to the outside). Despite the fine texture, the coverage is perfect and very natural. I don't have the feeling of having foundation, we don't feel it. FYI, the fluid foundation is full of moisturizing and protective active ingredients such as Aloe vera , vitamin E and chamomile . The skin is therefore not dried out or dehydrated, it breathes. And I love it!

I use the brush to deposit the foundation points on my face but, for the application to be more precise, I do it with my fingers. In my opinion, the brush is not suitable for this purpose.

The Secret Touch compact powder with integrated mirror (available in 6 shades ) refines the application and enhances the complexion. With an aerial and fine texture, it is rich in vitamin E and nylon particles .

My impressions.

There are 2 ways to apply the Secret Touch compact powder for results that are not diametrically opposed but different: either use the powder puff (supplied with the powder) for a tailor-made covering finish, or use a brush for a finished natural. In all cases, my complexion is unified and matifiedbut, with the small tassel, the coverage is total and gives a more sought-after appearance.

To be completely complete, know that True Colors offers Perfect Skin powder foundations , the ideal partner for combination and oily skin that lacks unification and brightness. Even better, the brand's No Shine mattifying gel is one of their flagship beauty products. It has been specially formulated to absorb excess sebum, smooth the grain of the skin and make the complexion radiant. In addition, it does not contain silicone but, mineral active ingredients which make it possible to permanently fix makeup *.

FINAL VERDICT .

I appreciate the elegance of True Colors packaging and in particular, its practicality, namely: the mirror, the brush or the powder puff which are included. On the other hand, these beauty products take up little space in my bag. The complexion is highlighted with naturalness and sophistication for the day (I do from time to time two to three small touch-ups on the T zone) . The textures are fine, easy to work with, and do not clog pores. It is always the same, one can object that the prices are high compared to the capacity. However, in addition to paying for the quality of the products (selective ingredients), we pay for the beautiful packaging and its extras (accessories) which are far from negligible. And then, with True Colors , we enter high-end makeup!
