Pretty VulgarBird's Nest (Graciously Grounded Tan)

All-in-one
This product is fantastic for days when you want to get out of the house quickly or you don't feel like applying a full face of makeup. It has a lightweight whipped texture that goes on easy and blends with barely any effort. It works as a moisturizer, primer, pore filler, color corrector and light-coverage foundation. You can use more of the product if you need more coverage. I like that the container is a tube with a pump. It makes application less messy. This is one of my new faves. I highly recommend it.Thanks so much for taking the time to read this review. I hope the information that I've provided makes your decision a little easier.

Works Nicely When Applied Correctly, Even When The Color Isn't Complete Match (Read On)
Finding foundations or similar products that work well, stay true to color, and do not settle into lines is rather difficult. Everyone is different, and each product reacts differently with people. Let's take a look at this.WHAT IS THIS LIKE?This is a tube of mousse cream that is designed for a lightweight foundation. It comes in a pretty box with a nice pump top to it.WHAT IS THE PRODUCT LIKE?The product itself is pretty thick and is dense in texture.HOW TO APPLY THIS?I found that this beauty mousse is best applied with a damp beauty blender sponge. I put a small dot (think size of a lentil) on the back of my hand. Then with the beauty blender, I work it into the sponge surface lightly. Once that is on there pretty evenly, then around the face I bounce the sponge around the skin on the face. I might have to gently scrape while bouncing as this product is not the easiest to move around.HOW IS THE COVERAGE?The coverage is not bad. I would call this medium coverage. It is not transparent, but it is not full coverage either.SETTLE INTO PORES/CREASES?This did not seem to settle into the skin like some products do WHEN APPLIED THIS WAY.COLOR I asked for a lighter color, but got pushed into Tan instead. I am testing this based upon the quality and not the color, but the color itself is a bit on the slightly orange/tan side. Is it awful? No. I would say it was equivalent to a good sunless tanner. It is nothing you can not work with if you have medium skin like I do. I tend to wear MAC NW25 this time of year for reference.I find that if you do sunless tanner well, this color works well for medium skin tones. I would compare this color to be similar to MAC NC37 which is something I wear in the summer when tanned.THE BOTTOM LINEI find that this product, although the color is not what I asked for, worked out okay if applied correctly. The product stays put through the day, does not seem to settle badly in the pores or creases, and this has medium coverage. You will still see through it, but not horribly.MY RATINGFIVE STARS. This is a nice product. It performed well and despite being a color that I was not counting on, I could make it work, something I can not do with most brands. This needs to be used with skin that is well prepped with good skin care, and also used with basic blush and highlighting for a total look. When done, it looks pretty good, even if the color is not quite light enough like happened for me.WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN?Yes, I probably would buy this based on my experience so far.

Wow! Suitable for a person who doesn't want heavy or greasy. Lovely product.
I am reviewing three products today."Blurring Beauty Mousse", "Birds Nest Foundation", and "Make Me Blush".All three are drop dead gorgeous. The blurring Mousse is very light, airy, not too oily, and not drying. It is not as much coverage as the Birds Nest foundation, yet it is going to minimize, not settle in those lines and wrinkles. I have a shade that is too tan, yet I can tell that with the correct shade I would enjoy this. It is lovely in looks and texture, so I recommend it.Another name brand has a blurring makeup line that doesn't quite have the staying power that this one does. I am so impressed with how light a formula this is. I don't feel like I have much on at all.In my earlier days of using foundation I really didn't think it enhanced my look. In my 64th year on Earth I am really looking for something that doesn't look s much like I am trying too hard. It is just an enhancement for me.Enjoy!

Great formula!
I'm not a fan of really thick, heavy makeup formulas, but I still want to be able to cover imperfections. This is a great formula for doing just that. It's fairly lightweight and applies slightly sheer but because of the lighter feel, I can apply a second layer if necessary. The color range is pretty good and the more satin, yet velvety look of this buildable foundation is perfect for those of us who aren't into a really heavy makeup look. The pump makes it hygienic, too. Another cool idea with the packaging is the addition of a see through leaf design on the front of the tube. It allows me to see exactly what shade I'm looking at. For review purposes, I was limited to a shade that is much darker than my very fair skin tone, but the formula is so good that I'll be purchasing one in my shade for daily use.

Four stars
This stuff is like a MASK for the face. The way it seamlessly blends pores and any skin discoloration, marking, scars, etc is INCREDIBLE! The quality of the product is top notch. It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or cause breakouts. No fragrance I noticed. The reason I knocked a star is it feels a little heavy on my face. I don’t like to feel my makeup when I’m wearing it. It’s also a little difficult to blend out. I think what makes it work so well is that it sets quickly and then DOES NOT BUDGE. You must work quick and apply in sections. Blend blend blend. The color options are also limited but I found one that matches my skin tone so not an issue for me specifically. I will definitely use this for times I need heavy makeup but not an everyday use item for me.
