Nordic Veil Foundation - Full and Poreless Coverage, Long Lasting, Soft Matte Finish - Purified and Safe for Sensitive Skin - 310 Siri - Medium Neutral - 0.88 oz

I have tried so many foundations to match my skin tone, Nars, Urban Decay, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, and on down the line. I am a pale neutral, bordering on cool, undertone and almost every foundation, is too yellow or too pink on me, even though they are listed as neutral. I bought both the Journn and the Saga, thinking the Journn might be too light, but it's perfect. The texture is nice, and I don't find it too matte or too shiny. There is a bit of an odd smell when you first apply, but it goes away very quickly. I am glad I finally found something that makes my face match the rest of my skin. Totally natural looking! The coverage is great as well and gives a smooth even tone to start with before applying the rest of my makeup. After months of research, I found this by accident, and I'm so happy I did!

Lasting time: This stays on for a long time, which is important to me since I use it to cover rosacea, and I don't want my redness popping back out in the middle of the day. I put it on at 5am before heading off to work, and its still on at 11pm when I get ready for bed.Amount: You need much less of this foundation than others -- I generally used 2 pumps in other brands and less than one pump in this -- so the bottle will last a long time.Application: I have tried it with a dense brush and a sponge, and either way it looks very skin like; the main thing is to just use the tiniest bit. I used a full pump the first time and it looked caky because it was just too much product. With less product, it comes out great.Shades: There is an excellent shade reference on Idun Minerals' site, cross referencing with other brands. I don't notice much oxidation.Scent: There is a scent, but it fades quickly.

Pale girlies know it can be a real struggle to find something that is even close to light enough. This foundation is ACTUALLY pale enough! That being said, if you have extremely cool/rosy undertones like me, this won’t be a perfect match. It’s close enough that I’ll still wear it, but I’ll really have to blend it onto my neck.It is very full coverage, and has a nice finish to it. Not too matte or too glowy. Very strange smell initially, but that goes away after application.

For reference, I wear Estee Lauder in shade 1NEcru or Nars Soft Matte Foundation in Mont Blanc. I would consider myself very nuetral/olive. Not too warm and not too pink but a touch of green in there. When I took this out to use, I had to shake it very well and squeeze the oil out before it finally thickened. After this I took my blendie to swatch and while it blended out seamlessly and gave my skin a satin-matte look, the shade Extra Light was a bit toooooo light. I'll order the next shade up since I like the coverage (medium/full) and see if that once matches.

I cannot put this on my face, it smells like something died. It smells expired like the oils went rancid. Disgusting.

Tried 2 shades. 1 was way too dark. I tried again. The 2nd one turned me orange. I give up. I am a redhead with fair skin . Didn't work for me

Ahh I’m so happy this finally works!!! I’m a very fair Scandinavian person. My skin is very muted, unsaturated, and icy white; I am neither yellow nor pink. I feel weird saying I’m “neutral”, because my skin fits all the criteria to be considered “cool”, but I’m just not pink or rosy at all. Jorunn is truly a neutral tone. I’ll show you it next to the NYX concealer in “pale”, which is a bit too yellow/warm for me.

This is the best makeup I’ve ever found and I’ve tried many. It gives you full coverage and isn’t oily and also doesn’t dry your skin. It’s the absolute best by far. Kudos to the maker.

I used it for the first time yesterday, and the smell of the foundation is terrible, like truly awful.. dead flowers.. or at least the worst parfume combination possible. But, I had good hopes for the product, I put it on my face in the morning with a make up sponge (before I hydrate my face and used a primer), after 2 hours I could see that the foundation turned ugly. I will def not recommend it and I will not be buying this again, E V E R.

The packaged looked terrible. The article was opened and used. I was feeling bad only by looking at it, not to keep this product and use it.

I bought this product because I was looking for a liquid foundation that is long lasting, suitable for sensitive skin (neurodermatitis and rashes on my cheeks) and matches my skin color. Unfortunately, this product dehydrates my skin so much that it looks wrinkled, even though it's not. I used a serum and a primer before putting on the foundation, but I ended with a cakey makeup after a few hours. I used the foundation a couple of days and my skin got dryer with every day. It took me a couple of days to get my skin back to normal. I'm not going to use this foundation any longer.I really loved the shade of the foundation - it matched my skin color perfectly. It's probably a good foundation for someone with oily skin. But for me it was a bad buy.
