I'm going to call this blog " Tried it Tuesday".
Younique has simply swept the internet and social media. It's big sell points are their 3d mascara and their liquid foundation.
Now most of you know, I am a Motives Cosmetics advisor, and I've had COUNTLESS people ask me the difference between Motives foundation and Younique foundation. Well yesterday, I was able to finally try the "Liquid gold" as Younique calls it.
I simply want to state; this blog is not to bash anyone or a product. This is simply my opinion and a review clients have asked for.
Side note: I have normal to combo skin with a slightly oily nose.
I first tested the foundation out on my hand, with one drop. It had a thin, oily texture to it.
I applied the Younique foundation with a brush, and 5 drops on the brush, as recommended. They say 5 drops of the foundation is all you should need to cover. It went on smooth, but still felt oily. So I proceeded to keep blending with the brush. After I was finished, I noticed there were brush marks on my face, and the foundation was setting in the corners of my nose. I also noticed that almost none of my redness in my cheeks was eliminated. I then went to feel my face and you could see where I had touched my face. It had a oily, shiny finish,where you would definitely need a powder to set it. Where as Motives is a Matte finish with a primer built into it.

So what is the comparison here?
Pricing:
Motives $29.95
Younique: $39
Ounces:
Motives: 1oz
Younique: 0.68oz
Finish:
Motives: Matte
Younique: Shiny/Dewy
Packaging:
Motives: Sleek Black Plastic
Younique: Glass Bottle with Dropper
My Conclusion:
I'm not going to lie, I was honestly disappointed in this foundation. I found it to be very equivalent to my Maybelline Fit Me foundation. I found it left my skin dewy, and spotted. I did not find the 5 drops gave me enough coverage. I also do not like the fact it is a glass with a dropper. When I cant't get the last drop out of my Motives foundation, I am able to cut it open with a scissors and scrape out the container, to make sure I am getting all of the foundation out. Not a drop gets wasted. You cannot do that with a glass bottle. I've seen this foundation work for people, which is fantastic! It just didn't work for me.
Disclaimer : yes I am a Motives advisor, however, I have a HUGE variety of foundations from drugstore foundations, sephora, marykay, ulta. I love to try different makeups. This is simply how the makeup worked for me. This is what I do, as a blogger. I test out products and review.

Once again, this was a comparison with my own opinions!
