TEMPTU

Heya Peeps!

So I was fooling around at Sephora today and got to try out Temptu. I've always been curious about airbrushed makeup, but didn't want to bother anybody about it to get the machine out, or never came in early enough to try it on my own...voila! I got it done today, and I must say, it is quite nice. I pretty much did my whole face in 5 min or less (that's including the time it takes for it to set and dry a little). It's quick, easy, and goes from very sheer to a buildable full coverage. I also got my blush and highlighting done as well. It usually takes me 10-20 min (depending on the kind of coverage I want) for me to do skin/foundation so this quick method is very convenient. The pods are pretty easy to change out (they basically pop on and off), and they've got a variety of shades to match. What they DO NOT have a variety of, however, is color such as blushes and no shadows, but I think those are probably going to come out at some point or another.




The finish is very dewy/glowy which is nice for cameras, but if this isn't the look that you're used to, then I'm gonna say that you're not going to like it. I'm on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dewy and my skin. I love the dewy look, but I feel like on my skin, it can look like I'm just getting oily...I think I could rectify this with a little powder to set it though. It also doesn't dry matte, it remains just a tad sticky hence another reason why I would finish off with some powder.

 You do not need a primer or concealer with this foundation as there is already primer within the foundation, and since it's so buildable, you don't need concealer.

I also had to buff it in a bit with a stippiling brush after it had dried on one side of my face because I had more put on one side than the other, but other than that, it has a very nice finish. I can see why it would be great for photos and events.

It IS quite expensive though. I feel like my Armani LSF and Armani Face Fabric (also already expensive foundations) does the job pretty much just as well as Temptu. The only difference is that it's not as easy and fast to apply as the Temptu. And if you're anally retentive like me, you spend all that time blending and shizz. Pretty fun though, I can see myself going into work and just spraying it on!

Here's some comparison pics:

Also wearing one of the blushes and the highlighter....

Wow the rain made my hair look awesome, lol. Also wearing NARS's new lipstick: Love Devotion with a mix of some kind of BUXOM gloss that I can't remember haha. And this is the Armani Face Fabric (excuse the nude lips, I was playing around and trying to find a good nude shade)

It's probably the flash that's making them look the same, but I feel like the coverage is pretty similar. The only difference is that I have powder on with the Armani and I didn't put any powder on with the Temptu although I definitely would so you don't have the kind of sticky finish. Hopefully, I'm going to get trained in Temptu this month so if you guys have any questions, let me know.
