Candy Doll Make up base review

Hey guys,
A few weeks ago now, I ordered Candy Doll Makeup base off of Adam beauty.com and It arrived promptly.
I decided I should probably do a review so here it is....

Packaging
OK I had to Camwhore a bit with the product because the packaging was soooo cayoot, I know, I know vain much ^--^


Because of the filter and the general rubbishness of the quality of this photo here is a more close up one...


I would give the packaging a 4/5 !!


Coverage
Do not expect much coverage from this product, it is very light with a light cream/gel texture. When blended you can see shimmer particles appear. Unfortunately I ordered in shade 2 by mistake, and I should have ordered shade 1, so I have actually been using this for contering and bronzing as it has a nice sheen to it.
2/5

Blended

Sorry the colour looks different but the lighting changed, with really good blending I could probably get away with this.

Usefulness as Makeup base?
It smooths your pores out slightly but not dramatically, I couldn't really say this made my makeup stay that much longer, maybe a little bit. I do like the sheeny, sparkly effect of this though, for a night out or party makeup it would be lovely!
3/5

Overall I think I would have enjoyed this product more if I had gotten it in the right shade. But please dont expect this to provide any coverage.
Bye xxx
