MANIC PANIC Dreamtone White Foundation for Goth Makeup - Oil-Free, Full Coverage Liquid Foundation & Skin Toner - White Base for Gothic Makeup, Cosplay & Halloween - Vegan & Cruelty-Free (0.96oz)

This stuff is absolutely FANTASTIC! I shall start off by saying that I am *extremely* pale. For people as white as me, there are only a few cosmetic brands that carry light enough foundation, and they are around $30~$50, or higher. Not an option for me. I am on a very tight budget. So I read the reviews for this, and discovered it is to be mixed with foundation to make it paler. I mix it to about a 50/50 ratio with my foundation, sometimes I do more white toner than foundation when I want to look a little more pale (I love to look very pale). On it's own, it's on the runny side. But it dries to a matte finish, and won't slide around or transfer when you touch it. That can change when mixed with foundation, depending on how your foundation works. Also, it's water based, and not greasy. And it agrees very well with even the oiliest acne prone skin like mine! Not only can it be used with liquid foundation, I even use it with a heavy coverage stick foundation, I just put some of the stick foundation on my face, then I apply the same amount (or more) of the white, and then spread it on my face until it's blended. Then I finish it off with a matte face powder. It ends up looking flawless and very porcelain. It's absolutely lovely! I think it could be used on it's own, I'm not sure since I haven't tried it that way, but it's quite sheer by itself and so I think it would only give a subtle ghostly look, not a stark white look like a white cake makeup. I swear this has saved my life!!!! I love being ghostly white, so simply making do with something too dark was NOT an option. I wanted to find something to help me embrace how pale I am and this has made my wish come true! If you are super pale, BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very pale. Most high-end foundations do not carry a shade light enough for me (those that do are priced at levels akin to purchasing an expensive piece of kitchen equipment, and I do not have the means/desire to pay such prices for cosmetics). I have yet to find a single drugstore foundation that is pale enough. I've searched for pure white foundations in the past, but Ilimasqua, MAC, and Makeup Atilier are all outside of my price range. Even with expedited shipping, Manic Panic was a bargain. It has solved my color-matching problems. Now I can buy any brand I choose and not have to sweat over whether the pale loveliness the counter mirror reflects will suddenly oxidize into an orangey, faux-tan mess as soon as the sunlight hits it. This mixes well with liquid foundations, does not irritate my sensitive skin, and does not mess with the consistency of the foundations because I only need a little bit. I have not tried it with whipped, foam, or any other non-traditional makeup formats. It does have a luminous finish. Dewy and brightening could also describe it well. Therefore, it does affect matte finish foundations. It doesn't turn, say, Revlon Colorstay into L'Oral Lumi or anything that dramatic. However, it takes away matte's ability to be truly matte. My dry skin benefits more from a dewy finish anyway, so straight-up matte is rarely my go-to. However, when I do want a more matte finish, I set my entire face with a pressed powder and the shine disappears almost entirely. And hey, I'd rather have a textural issue with my final look rather than have that dreaded pinky/nude ring between my face and my neck from ill-matching foundation. I cannot comment on how it compares to the astronomically-priced luxury brands. But since a product that costs less than lunch at a sub shop does the job just fine for me, I have no plan or desire to try other brands. I highly, highly recommend it to pale people needing something to pale-up even the palest of foundation shades. Also, I use this strictly as a mixer. I don't dress up as a vampire or clown, so I don't need to completely blank out my entire face. So, I cannot comment on its ability (or lack of) to work well in that area. Therefore, it does not affect my full-stars rating since I do not use it for that purpose.

It did what I needed it to, which was color correct. The texture is kind of different, almost like a slightly watery mousse. Definitely shake before use. It probably won't change the texture of your foundation too much if you only use a little bit, but I had to mix mine at almost a 1:1 ratio with my normal foundation. The finish was pretty much the same, but when I mixed this in I definitely think the flakes on my skin were highlighted more than usual and the coverage was not as full. If you really adore the formula of your foundation and would have to use a lot, I would suggest looking at a different formula of color corrector, but if you're open to experimenting, only need a little, or you're not picky about formula, this is definitely a good way to go. Per ounce, it's really cheap compared to other correctors I've seen (but since this is foundation you have to use more of it). Overall, I like it, but for me it's a placeholder until I can find something that really works well for me.

Firstly, the shipping took forever. That brought it down one star. The product is pretty good. I bought this foundation to use as a mixer to lighten foundations, since I'm paler than most companies cater to. It has a slightly greasy texture, but blends well with both silicone and water based foundations. However, I wish it was a bit more pigmented, as I have to add at least a full pump to get the color results I want and this can effect the finish of the foundations that I'm mixing it with. Also, it doesn't work as a matte highlight, which I tried several times. I guess it's good that it really melts into your skin, as I hate cakey makeup, but it just lacks the pigmentation that I wanted. Will probably not repurchase, even though it's a good value. I may try the Yaby "daisy" foundation or the Illamasqua Skin Base in white next time I'm looking for a mixer to lighten foundations to see if those work better.

I am very very pale. I mix this with the palest foundation I can buy at the drugstore to make it manageable for me. The lightest shades in US drugstores are much to dark for my skin tone. Even name brands are much to dark in their palest shade. Except Kat Von D Light 42, it has been the first true match to my skin I've ever found in the US. I usually have to special order things from South Korea or online stores that specialize in theatrical makeup. But I don't always want to use my "good" makeup. Sometimes I just want to throw makeup on to run to the grocery store but have no plans to leave the house after that. So I purchased this product and it did just as I expected. It was hard to find the right consistency because this didn't mix well with some foundations. I don't recall what kind it was but it seemed to separate on my face, I know it sounds weird, but thats what it did. But it was with only certain types of foundation. Other than that this stuff is amazing. It is also ok by itself. In moments where I ran out of the "fair colored" foundations I would just apply this and it blended in perfectly to match my skin tone, but it by itself it did get really oily mid day so I didn't do that very often.

I ordered this in hopes it could help give me coverage or at least be added to my foundations to make them paler. I already wear the lightest shade in Lancome (the lightest brand I could find). Point being, I'm already pale. When you open the product, you will notice instead of a brush or...nothing at all, it comes with a piece of plastic that I suppose you are supposed to take the makeup from. You would expect it to work like any other foundation...but it doesn't. It is really blotchy, and despite being cakey as heck, gives little coverage. My Lancome teint idole is supposed to be sheer as heck...but geeze, at least it doesnt make me look like a leper! I have tried putting it on with a brush, a two-sided pad, and with my fingers. The best way I have found to make it look at least look somewhat decent is to mix it in with my sunscreen. I would really like to have lighter foundation, so I will update if I find a way to make this stuff work, but for now...I cannot recommend this product alone. I will try a bb cream this time, like I had planned before. Unfortunate this product even made it to the market, but at least it is only $10. Despite being only $10, I hope this review can save someone else from wasting that money AND looking like a leper. Horrible product. The reviews stating the product looked great ON THEIR KIDS...No offense, but the parents probably need to wear some glasses. Seriously, this is the worst foundation I have ever tried in my life!

2020 update: four years later, it still works like new! Also, it takes very, very little of this liquid for a solid and long-lasting effect. This product is the best. Can't even feel it on my skin. Very happy with this purchase. I got it for Halloween. I don't have much experience with costume makeup, but this foundation was very easy to apply and evenly distribute. It provided the desired ghostly color and stayed put through the night. I was very concerned that I wouldn't block my pores and get breakouts after my heavy makeup on Halloween, but there wasn't any issue with Manic Panic. It was so light, I forgot I had it on my face. Easy to remove, and my skin stayed clean. It didn't rub off on clothes or my hands during the night. All in all, I can't ask for more from a special purpose foundation. Highly recommended. And thanks to all the previous reviewers. I bought this based on good reviews from others.

This is going to be a lengthy review but I hope this helps in your decision of whether or not to buy this product. I first heard about this product through a youtube video and I got so excited because I thought I finally found something to help me with my foundation problems. The reviews I had seen basically led me to believe that this would correct the color of my foundation and it would help solve all of my makeup troubles. This honestly does help lighten my foundation and makes a perfect match for my skin tone. BUT, the texture of it feels like chalky paint. It rubs in okay but you have to blend it for a while for it to actually feel and look like regular foundation. The packaging was great and came with no problems but when I took the bottle out I noticed one part of the liquid looked like it was missing. It looked like the liquid had been dried up and when I first started trying to pump it out, it wouldn't come out. I unscrewed the lid and there was dry liquid in the tube. After a long battle of squeezing at the tube I finally got the liquid to come out the pump. Like I said earlier, this product does what it claims but I do believe it could have arrived in a better state. Also, a HUGE problem for me was that it took over two weeks for me to get this. I ordered this-along with a few other things-and it took about 3 days just for my order to paid for and processed. I have never had this happen before and the longest I have had to wait until processing was 1 business day. Also it took 9 days to get here after leaving the facility so it may take a while for your order to be processed and shipped.

[English review below] J'ai reçu le produit ce matin. Cette review ne s'appuie donc pas sur un retour du produit porté sur une journée entière, je l'ai simplement essayé. Le produit est très bien emballé pour éviter tout risque de casse. Lors de la première utilisation, il faut appuyer un certain nombre de fois sur la pompe pour que le fond de teint monte. Première bonne surprise : le fond de teint n'a aucune odeur. C'est très agréable. La texture n'est pas trop liquide, un peu crémeuse - ce qui fait qu'il va sûrement durer un moment. Il couvre plutôt bien. Je l'ai essayé pur, sans le mixer à un autre produit. La première couche va éclaircir la peau - sur la photo, j'ai mis 3 couches pour obtenir un effet très blanc. Souhaitant l'utiliser pour le cosplay, je le poserai probablement par dessus un bodypaint blanc, mais le produit en lui même offre déjà un très bon rendu. Sur la peau, il ne laisse pas une sensation grasse, et part du premier coup au démaquillant. Excellent produit, je suis très satisfaite! **** I received the product this morning. This review will solely be based on a short test, not after a full day of wearing the makeup. The packaging was carefully made so the bottle wouldn't break. When you use it for the first time, you need to press the pump quite a lot of time for the product to actually come out. First delightful surprise: the foundation has no smell at all, which is really nice. The foundation isn't too liquid, more of a creamy texture, so you won't spill too much and it will probably last longer. The coverage is quite good. I tried it "raw", without mixing it with any other product. The first layer will lighten the skin, and I used 3 layers for a really white effect. As I am going to use it for cosplay, I might put in on top of a white bodypaint for a really deep white effect, but this product already looks really good. It doesn't feel oily on the skin and goes away easyly with makeup remover. Great product, I am really satisfied!

This is a nice foundation, I like the consistency.I bought this so I could mix it with my normal foundation or any I get in future. Because I'm super pale (translucent pale) and even the lightest shades of most brands are still ever so slightly too orangey for me. I haven't mixed this with my normal foundation yet, but for fun I decided to put this just straight on my face as is, to see what the consistency is like and how it blends. It blends well, but shockingly it matched my skin XD. I could honestly wear this on it's own and no one would know I'm wearing white foundation haha. Thats not anything against the product, it's just how damn pale I am haha. I'm happy i purchased this as it will make getting other foundations in future much easier. I always buy one from mac in the lightest shade because it's the palest one I can find, but they are £25+ a bottle. So with this, i can mix it with that, and hopefully make it closer to my skin tone and also make it last a lot longer! yay

Davvero fantastico, l'ho utilizzato per il trucco per Halloween e il risultato è stato eccellente. Basra davvero una piccola quantità per dare il giusto effetto di bianco, ovviamente è miscelabile a fondotinta per avere la tonalità che più preferiamo. Si stende facilmente, io ho usato una spugnetta, la coprenza è massima, ottima è anche la sua tenuta. Altro plauso va al fatto di essere ipoallergenico e valori INCI elevatissimi senza alcun bollino rosso.

Good

La mejor base de maquillaje aclarante que conozco sin duda! Puedes utilizarla con cualquier tipo de base!
