Nichido Beauty Cake - Classic Mint

Halloween is coming close and pale/ghostly/dead looks are in. I've been checking facepaints around here and the price ranges from 100 to 800 pesos. That's a bit pricey for me so I checked some drugstore makeups to see if I can find some light foundation, and I did! 

Say hello to Nichido Beauty Cake in Classic Mint. 

Yup you're right it's cheaper than facepaints.
For just 80 pesos you can complete your Halloween look.

The SA from Nichido advised me that this is better for Halloween makeup since green foundations evens out redness and that's why it creates something of a white color.

It's really minty green in color (see small pic at the bottom right of the picture) but you can see at first shot I had a white cake foundation. 

You need a damped sponge to get the product because it doesn't work when you use a dry sponge. 

Let's start first with the skin test. 

Now we'll have my sister test the classic mint on her face. :)

Then the Classic Mint on the right side of her face here.

This is her face with two layers of Classic Mint.

THE EXPERIENCE

• Cheap makeup if you're only using it on special occassions like Halloween. Cheaper than the facepaints take note! 
• Available almost everywhere. I bought this one from Watsons, and I think all Watsons has Nichido stalls.
• Not pigmented. We need to put 2 layers on her face to achieve that look.
• It's hard to apply evenly on the skin. I think the damp sponge may cause it. Because when we try to apply the second layer, some of the first layer wipes out when the sponge touches it. 

Beauty Cake in Classic Mint is ok for me, I just wish they have a liquid type of this foundation so it's easier to apply. But hey if you need a cheap alternative or you ran out of facepaints this Halloween you can try this. 

Happy Halloween! 🎃
