I feel so lucky to be given some of their products to try myself. First is the 12HD Liquid Foundation!

There are two shades available for the HD Foundation and I was given the one for lighter skin which is ALMOND. On my first try, I was amazed at how a little amount of product already goes a long way. I was pleased with the coverage it gave. Not too heavy but enough to cover spots and discoloration. I like the natural coverage it gave and it was easy to put more coverage by layering.


On the left is a photo of my freckled cheek -yes i have a lot! (and my pimple) and on the right, a photo after I covered my face with a pea sized amount of foundation and set with powder.  See how it covered my freckles and my pimple? =)


It was also very easy to spread out and the shade ALMOND, was perfect for my skin tone.

To cover dark circles on the eye area, just add a little more foundation and it works to conceal those dark areas!

Taken with no flash and with flash. Perfect for the natural look and doesn't look refelective even with flash. =)
What I Like:
  • So many benefits good for the skin because of its active ingredients that are said to be excellent in whitening, increasing skin elasticity, increasing collagen, prevent dryness, anti-aging and many more.
  • Easy to apply
  • Doesn't look "cakey"
  • Full coverage
  • No need for concealer as it can conceal with layering
  • At only P985.00, that's pretty inexpensive for mineral makeup and for the quality and coverage it gives!
  • Doesn't oil up my T-zone. I have combination skin so it's usually my nose that gets oily. After 5 hours, my face hardly had any traces of oil.
  • Stays on for a long time. I had a long day and only had to retouch just my nose area twice with a light dab of powder.
What I DON'T Like:
  • Limited to 2 shades - That's all I don't like!... Obviously, I like this product a lot! And I just wish for more shades in the future because as a makeup artist, I'd like to have more shades to be able to use for my clients.
I love Krave 12 HD Liquid Foundation! =)

Another product from Krave that I got to try is the Arch Precision Eyebrow Definer Kit. I like the shade, not too dark for eyebrows. Since I have light hair, I only applied a very light layer so that it would match my hair color. I tried using it also on a makeup client with darker hair and it also looked very natural. I just had to add a bit more product compared to what I applied on myself.




With just one eyebrow done, I like the natural look it gave me. Very easy to apply too!

These were the first products from Krave that I got to try and I must say that I am impressed! I looked at their line of products and I saw so many more products that I'd like to try. They have so many products for skin care and mineral makeup that boasts of oil eliminating properties (which worked with the foundation I tried) and so many other skin benefits.

I also used these cosmetics for a photoshoot I had with Eunice of Purple Dot Photography, and I am so happy with the outcome of the photos! I really like how natural it looks. Here are some of the shots:




Love these shots and I'm really loving Krave Cosmetics! I was not disappointed at all and I would love to try more products from them! Stay tuned for more reviews!
