A comprehensive guide to your favorite local foundations including MM Silk Foundation & Luscious Camera Stick Foundation!

Luscious Cosmetics Camera Stick

PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, LAURYL PEG/PPG-18/18 METHICONE, DIMETHICONE, METHICONE

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, C12-15 alkyl Ethylhexanoate, Ceresin, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Silica, Pentylene Glycol,Talc, Mica(CI 77019), Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Ozokerite, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Polyethylene, Microcrystalline Wax, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin 1,2-Hexanediol, Propanediol, Fragrance, Isostearyl Alcohol, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, May Contain (+/-) Titanium Dioxide(CI 77891), Iron Oxide Red (CI 77491), Iron Oxide Yellow (CI 77492), Iron Oxide Red (CI 77491), Iron Oxide Black (CI 77499).

See the words on top? Definitely silicone-based! All chemicals that are variations of methicone are types of silicone so they help to mattify the skin and so this foundation is most obviously silicone based.

P.S: It is also the local foundation that Maya Ali wore to the Lux Style Awards! That must count for something!

MM Silk Foundation

DIMETHICONE, PEG-10 DIMETHICONE, TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE

Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Propylene, Glycol, Glycol, Ethyhexyl, Methoxycinnamate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Isododecane, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylexylglycerin,

While this foundation does contain water at the top of the ingredients list, water helps to blend the foundation better in every formula. But check out the words in caps lock: these are all types of silicone variants. Also if you have tried this beauty cult favorite foundation, you would know that this foundation has an extremely matte finish and so definitely is a silicone based formula.

We also conducted an experiment to figure out the oil content in the MM Silk Foundation and it wasn't much so you can be comfortable wearing this formula if you want your makeup to last all day long!! Read complete review here with swatches for all shades!

Femina Paint Stick

Parallinum Liquidum, Paraffin, Hydrogenaled Polyisobutene, Kaoline Octydodecanol, Caprylit, Cetyl Plamiate, Petrolatum, Cera Alba, Camauba, Leneth-40, Tocopherol, Polyisobutene, Oleth-10, Lanolin Alcohol, Ascorbyl Palmiate, Glyceryl Slearate, Citric Acid, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Saiicylate, Citronello, Gnraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Bu-tylphenyl Methylpropinia, Linalool, Al-pha Isomethyl Ionone, Cinnamyl, Alcohol Parium,

As the ingredient list above does not contain any words with cone-methicone or siloxane so it is probably a water based formula.

Luscious Cosmetics Whitening Base Primer ~ For Dry Skin

TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, RETINYL ACETATE, GLYCERIN,

Water, Silica, Lilium Candidum Flower Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Fragrance, Niacinamide(Vitamin B3), Ascorbic Acid(Vitamin C), Panthenol(Vitamin B5), Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Arbutin, Sea Water, Leontopodium Alpinum(Edelweiss) Flower Extract, Rosa Damascena(Rose) Flower Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract, Aluminum Hydroxide, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Trehalose, Polysilicone-11, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone CrossPolymer, Synthetic FluorPhlogopite, Sodium Chloride, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Glyceryl Isostearate, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Titanium Dioxide, Dimethicone.

Tocopheryl acetate above is an oil based vitamin and helps to heal and hydrate the skin. This chemical prevents transepidermal water loss and so is a valuable ingredient for skincare products for dry skin. Also glycerin in it helps to hydrate further. So Luscious Cosmetics Primer (for dry skin) is oil based (obviously)!!
