OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
That’s me being smug.
Procter & Gamble Malaysia Sdn Bhd has so nicely given me their new foundation to test and review!
Love getting products to test and talk about! 
Especially if they’re from Anna Sui!
Anna Sui had this to say on this season’s cosmetics:
“I wanted the beauty look to complement the fashion, as always, so this season the skin was a big focus. I really liked that the girls looked young and fresh. This season I preferred having the girls look beautiful and natural, so not wearing too much makeup was a key point. Base makeup served a big purpose, as it always does, because the skin had to have a flawless finish.”
And according to super alpha power makeup artist Pat McGrath,
“All women want a foundation that delivers flawless natural- looking coverage. Makeup artists have the same desire, to find a foundation that makes the complexion naturally beautiful and flawless with a moisturizing effect that mimics young skin.
Everyone wants the look of flawless skin without a lot of coverage. As a makeup artist, I’m constantly searching for the ideal foundation, one that makes skin look naturally perfect & moist like young healthy skin.”
This is the foundation:
It’s part of the Anna Sui Fall 2009 product range and it’s called the Anna Sui Moisture Rich Fluid Foundation.
The bottle itself *awe
The Anna Sui Fall collection also includes the products below:
Anna Sui Moisture Rich Foundation Primer
Loose powder
And Treatment Mist.
The bottle of foundation itself *awe
This foundation is supposed to give a natural yet flawless finish to the face while still providing moisture, since it is made from botanical extracts with the goodness of anti-oxidants and UV protection.
Anna Sui Moisture Rich Base Makeup contains 5 botanical ingredients including raspberries (50% higher antioxidant activity than strawberries) and ten times more than tomatoes.
Anyway yesterday I woke up and decided to try out the foundation.
Sometimes I really wonder if it’s worth putting up photos of my bare face on my blog.
(also changed from my pajamas into a tshirt because pajamas are too ugly)
Did my usual cleanse, tone, moisturize and apply sunblock routine.
Macro shot of my face shows you all its flaws T_T Freckles, veins on cheeks, dark circles you name it. Also my skin tends to be a little bit on the dry side.
Now, it’s recommended that before you apply foundation, you should always apply a base or primer to protect your skin and to give your foundation an even, clean finish.
But I don’t *shifty eyed. I don’t really like using foundation because I haven’t been able to find a foundation that isn’t too harsh and dry for my skin. I usually use BB cream because it’s less drying and I don’t use a primer for that!
Anyway primer should be your new best friend!
Next comes on the foundation.
I put it on with my fingers and surprisingly it was even more watery than BB cream! Not watery as in it was dripping off my face but very moist! Had no problem rubbing it into my skin and it blended very well to produce a natural smooth looking finish 😀
I also tried on some Anna Sui Eye Color Accent B that I got.
I think Accent B means “Bright” in Anna Sui language.
Ok I somehow still look like a tool with makeup on.
Ok a better photo of the foundation. And also the eyeshadow!
The Eye Color Accent B worked better when I layered it bit by bit. Also, it can be used to add on to existing eye color or as a highlighter to make brighten eye make-up for glamorous nights out.
So does the foundation deliver?
Yes. It didn’t make my skin cakey (like all the other foundations I’ve tried) or flakey (HAHA IT RHYMES). In fact, I think it gave my skin sort of a glow and my face remained moisturized for the whole day I had it on.
No photoshop too!
Actually I downloaded Photoshop to try edit some of my photos. I wanted to Anna Sui-fy my photos to be all purple and black (Annasui colors) since I DON’T HAVE ANY PURPLE CLOTHES.
And this was the only photo I managed to edit.
*deng deng
I suck so bad T_T But my brushes were still quite appropriate right! Anna Sui said this year’s Fall collection is
“all about the details; rich in embellishments and abounding in interesting techniques. There are lace-overlays, fluttering silk georgette flowers, military soutache embroidery, Pére-Lachaise jet beading, patent leather arabesques appliquéd on silk velvet. There are loads of velvet ribbons, embroidered Chinese ribbons, ribbon fringe, chenille fringe, venise zig-zag lace trim, silk-cord frog closures and embroidered “jewels” strung in their embroidered gold settings.”
Well I got some of it right!1!
Some other pictures of my flawless finish *smug
Okay so maybe this is the other photo I photoshopped. -____-
Anyway the Anna Sui Fall 2009 Moisture Rich collection will be out in makeup counters this August so go check it out 🙂

Nice. I am always looking for aa good foundation that is long lasting, isn’t cakey and breathable. I would give this a try for sure 🙂 Thanks Aud! Looking fab!
Aud, according to my knowledge lar.. cause I am bio student mar.. the antioxidants will cause cancer one. if u apply too much.. haha..it’s scientifically proven. cause when your new cells grow too fast, means they will turn to tumor and then cancer liaos. hmm.. but still can use lar no worries haha…

but even without the foundation and make up, you still look great 🙂

babie my mom said you are even prettier now /boo/boo/boo
Audrey you look tired T.t
Take care ya~!
look scary when the contacts shift xD
i tried acuvue before too and mine moved too! my sis (she’s an optometrist) said that it’s because of the size of my eyeball and also the surface that cause the contacts to move..something like that can’t remember exactly what she said XDD
then i change to freshlook and it’s not moving for me anymore! XDD
Haha! I like the first photo. It should be in the dictionary:
Smug. (adjective)
Blah Blah
Also see: Photo #1
…and OMG your eyes are HUGE! I want them! I thought mine was above average in size but yours is gigantic!
Sigh…the things I can get away with if I had your eyes. 😉
the bottle so pretty! feel like buying one now..

Expensive or not the foundation??

opps, i dont know why and where that came out from.
i wanted to say”thats so smoothie skin!!”
actually your skin already good one … smooth and fair~
guess you only wanted to hav Xtra whitening with that SUI(Hokkien means NICE) product kakaka~
when only 50% of your skin care products are with anti-oxidants that is okay. Cause in routine you are eating carrot tomato liao mar.. =D
hey looks like you have some pretty serious dark circles too in your naked face picture. may i know what concealer are you using? it conceals pretty well!
整形じゃねの？
