Kevyn Aucoin, the worlds master makeup artist, searched the world over for the past 20 years in order to bring women, like yourself, as well as his celebrity clients, The Sensual Skin Enhancer. Kevyn created The Sensual Skin Enhancer to replicate the look of healthy, radiant, dewy skin. This was his favorite product to create a natural, youthful glow on all of his celebrity clients. Our long lasting formula can be used on every skin type in many ways to achieve your desired coverage, while allowing your natural skin to show through. While on a trip to Japan with one of his clients, Kevyn was enthralled by the radiant, flawless skin of the Geisha. His never ending curiosity of what makes people beautiful, led him to inquire about the products they used to achieve their dewy, radiant complexion. He then sought out and worked closely with the same chemists who created their products. This resulted in the creation of The Sensual Skin Enhancer. Available in 16 shades, this long lasting formula provides medium to full coverage and blends seamlessly into the skin. This product is very unique and may be used with a touch of powder as an alternative to an allover foundation or as a spot concealer to conceal imperfections or to lighten target areas.

Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
If you want coverage, this is the product for you! Its definately professional-grade though, so there are some tricks and tips you might find helpful if you choose to use this. First of all, the product itself is very concentrated (in other words, thick) and a little goes a LONG way. I recommend using a concealer brush to apply this product directly to blemishes and dark spots. A damp foundation sponge is your best bet for all-over application. Use the dab technique as opposed to simply wiping it across your skin. This will afford a more natural, dewy finish.
This is a seriously good concealer and I recommend to friends who are willing to add a few extra minutes to their make-up routine. It's also worth mentioning that I've applied this product to a deep scar on my leg and have used it to cover a tattoo for a special occasion - both times with great results.

Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
I read previous reviews and decided to try out the product along with Smashbox Photo Finish primer. This product is thick and sticky by itself, but goes on amazingly with a good primer. It covers really well. My skin looks brighter and air-brushed - I love the effect. I'm fair to medium skinned Asian and I use SX05. I would give it 5 stars except it does go on badly if you don't prime.

Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
I tried applying this as a concealer with my fingers, a sponge and a foundation brush but found it impossible to get even, smooth coverage. Also, it's slightly shiny which accentuated my pores and wrinkles rather than obscuring them

Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
I was undecided about this product for quite a while, but it was finally the scent that tipped the scales. The perfume-y smell is quite strong and does not go away for many hours. I don't want to smell my concealer over everything else I put on, especially when the scent is not my favorite!
The coverage is quite good and long lasting, but the product is pretty heavy and tends to settle into fine lines and pores. Because you must use so, so little product and then put effort into removing any excess that settles into your creases, this product is time-consuming to apply.
You do need to go at least a shade darker than you would think, and pay close attention to the undertone descriptions. SX02 is the lightest beige/neutral shade, and their isn't another beige/neutral shade until SX05. I'm very fair and SX05 was a good match for me. I normally use MAC NW20, which I have gone back to using.

Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
if you have larger pores or fine ines and are looking for coverage, this is NOT the product for you! it seems to be "chalky" in that it sits on the skin and actually drew attention to problem areas. it seems to accentuate fine lines, and that is NOT okay!
Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
This is the best concealer I've ever used! The colors run a shade lighter than expected, which makes it a great concealer. As a foundation, it is great for imperfect skin. If you want to use it as a foundation, go a shade darker than you normally would. My friends with mild acne love using this as a foundation. It's the only foundation that covers.
Comments about Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer Foundation, SX 05, .63 oz:
I adore this product. It has so many uses. One tiny jar can be used as foundation, concealer, highlighter, or tinted moisturizer (mixed with Kevin Aucoin Primer). It's all in the way its applied. The coverage lasts and lasts, and it takes forever to use up an entire jar. SX 05 is a perfect match for my fair, slightly pink skin tone. My favorite product ever.
