I have been quite impressed by all of the products that I have tried from Osmosis Skincare and Osmosis + Colour Makeup, and I was elated to have the opportunity to try some new and new-to-me products from this covet-worthy brand. The changing season is always a great time to reboot skincare and makeup picks, and I have found all of the featured products perfect for the Autumn weather.
Osmosis + Colour Performance Wear Satin Foundation in Natural Light and Golden Light ($48.00 for 1.2 oz. from
Osmosis): Osmosis + Colour recently launched a new satin foundation in 5 shades that are vegan and gluten-free. This lovely new addition to their wealth of beautiful makeup and skincare products, has a lightweight silky texture, it blends to perfection, it offers buildable coverage. it lasts all day long, and it remains true-to-color. It has a beautiful natural finish without looking in the least bit artificial. It neither settles into fine lines, nor does it emphasize pores.
Known for incorporating skincare ingredients in their makeup, this new foundation offers skin plumping, wrinkle and line soothing properties that improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Among the ingredients used, is the anti-aging Dermaxyl, that is known to stimulate "cell communication and then repairing age related skin damage." Furthermore, Hyaluronic Acid offers deep hydration while plumping fine lines, and skin is left soft, smooth and refreshed. It is worthy to note that it contains no fragrance, and will therefore pose no problems for people with sensitivities to fragrance.
I am incredibly impressed by this formula, and love the way that it looks and feels on the skin. My only hope is that Osmosis adds
far more shades since there are only 5 from which to choose.
I have two shades, Natural Light and Golden Light, and can wear both on my skin tone. Natural Light is slightly more peach in tone, and Golden Light has a slightly yellow undertone.
According to Osmosis,

Osmosis + Colour Eye Pencil in Black ($25.00 for 1.2g from
Osmosis and
Dermstore): Finding an eyeliner pencil that doesn't migrate or transfer can be quite a feat– especially for people with oily eyelids. While I do not have oily lids, I do still find that many creamier formulas end up smearing by the end of the day, but I have found this formula melt-proof and smudge-proof without being too hard that it pulls and tugs on the eyes. The water-resistant formula is very long-wearing, and yet the consistency is creamy and soft enough to effortlessly glide across the skin while depositing color evenly.

Water-resistant and long lasting wearability, the Osmosis Eye Pencil collection features a creamy, quick drying formula.
