Product Review: BH Cosmetics BH Studio Pro Foundation

I have been so excited to do this product review for a few weeks now! When I saw that BH Cosmetics was coming out with a foundation that was part of their studio pro line, I knew I had to try them so I went and bought all 10 shades! I will show you an overview of the product, it's packaging, it's claims, swatches, how it wears, and 2 different ways you can apply it. Let's get started!

The BH website describes this foundation:

"Get camera ready with this skin perfecting and water resistant HD Foundation. Oil-free with light diffusing pigments evens out skin for a smooth, soft-focus effect. The foundation utilizes Prodew® 500, a key ingredient that helps to moisturize and strengthen the skin for a naturally flawless and radiant complexion.

There are 10 shades in this line, ranging from very light to very dark.

Shade 103 is the first shade in this line. It is light with neutral cool undertones.

104 is light with rosy beige undertones.

106 is light/medium with neutral undertones.

 

110 is light/medium with neutral & cool undertones.

115 is a medium beige with warm undertones.

 120 is a medium sand with golden undertones.

123 is medium/tan with warm undertones.

126 is tan/beige with neutral undertones.

130 is deep with warm undertones.

135 is deep with cool undertones.

My shade is currently 106. I wanted to take a few days to try this foundation out. Now I have extremely oily skin so my skin can be picky with foundations and what it wants to allow to stay on it. I typically apply my foundation with a damp beauty blender as it helps my foundation stay matte all day. On my skin, there is no such thing as dewey. I go from matte to grease ball; I have no in between. Let's see how this foundation wore all day!

Day 1: Applied with BH Cosmetics Flat Blending Face Brush

Above: 8:30 A.M. No filters or photoshop; just a flash

(ignore my brows I've been growing them out for 6 weeks,starting from scratch)

Above & Below: 6:30 P.M. no photoshop/filters; flash only 

Now as you can see, this foundation did not stay matte on my face at all. However, this foundation doesn't claim to stay matte, so I can't complain. Because of my skin type, I need a foundation that is 100% matte. By using a foundation brush, I do think this had a negative effect of how it applied. I think it took much more product to give me an even coverage. Let's see how it wears when applied with a beauty blender...

Day 2: Applied with a damp Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

(ignore the growing-in brows)

Now as you can see, it applied much nicer with a damp beauty blender. It gave me a much more flawless coverage using less product and I looked more matte to begin with. However, it still did not stay matte on my face as the day progressed; but again, it is not a matte foundation. It does become more dewy as the day goes on. 

Final Review:

After wearing this product for a few days, seeing how it wears, and applying it 2 different wears, I would have to say that I would not wear this foundation again.

HOWEVER, I DO RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. Now that is probably weird to some of you, but here's why I think this product is worth it. First off, this product is definitely affordable, which is always a plus. I think when applied correctly, it provides full, flawless, and even coverage. I also think the range of undertones in the line makes this usable for most consumers. For people with oily skin, you might want to stay away from this foundation, or maybe only use it in the cooler months when our skin tends to be more dry. If you have normal to dry skin, or like foundations with a dewy finish than I think you would really like this product. While I did not like the foundation for myself personally, I did really like the creaminess and smoothness of the foundation, the pump dispenser, and the buildable coverage. I think this foundation would work on many people and I think this would really help and makeup artist looking to build their kit.
