I just use smaller than pea size [1] of the foundation Kryolan Ultra. The coverage is really wow 😍 Full coverage for me regardless it is less than pea size. Seems like my finger application today give fuller coverage than when I am using foundation brush last time. Since I am aiming for very light application and less product 😉

Today look using Kryolan Ultra foundation code 4W |
I am really loving it. Can see using my magnifying mirror that my pores covered when applying it. This is really worth to buy.

The bought re-packaging Kryolan Ultra foundation as it is more cost effective for me to test this foundation before deciding full package |
Ultra Foundation is a cream foundation specially formulated for the most demanding make-up expectations. As a result of its excellent covering quality, Ultra Foundation is also effective as a corrective make-up. Transparent application of Ultra Foundation is also suitable for photographic work. Its matt finish provides models with a naturally attractive appearance. The Ultra Foundation formulation contains advanced ingredients that are recognised for particularly good skin compatibility. This formulation contains no mineral oil, to assure that the skin readily absorbs the make-up. This foundation is available in a wide range of more than 70 shades [2].
Kryolan have 4 types of foundation:
1. TV PAINT STICK
The most Kryolan foundation that being used by make up artist to put on brides.
Its advantage is it able to withstand heat. As it have wax effect. Where if it is hot it would not melt due to wax effect.
Disadvantage is its texture is the thickest among other foundation. Therefore, few might feel uncomfortable using it.
2. SUPRACOLOR
Special Kryolan foundation for glowing effect. This type of foundation have mineral oil. Like current trend, people add argan oil, beauty oil and etc into their make up to get the glowing effect. This foundation already have mineral oil inside to give glowing dolly finish look.
Advantage is once applied, it will immediately give smooth outcome with very nice glowing effect. It is not as thick as TV Paint Stick. Very soft and easy to applied on using sponge or brush.
Usually applied as most top layer for bride make up to give smooth effect on skin.
Disadvantage is it is not suitable for oily skin due to the mineral oil inside the foundation. As for extremely oily skin, it might give drench look instead of the desired dewy glowing look. However, if still want to use it, need to put on skin base such as good primer as prevention from having very oily look.
3. DERMACOLOR
Super high coverage. If others give full coverage, this one give 5x coverage.
Advantage is it is not thick regardless it is full coverage. Not oily, suitable for those who have problematic skin issues or condition. It also able to cover skin that have pimple scars, tattoo, birth mark, accident scars and etc.. Basically it is powerful enough to cover any and every type of scars. You will get very smooth and healthy skin looks.
Disadvantage is it is very dry and need to blend it carefully on the skin.
Normally people use Dermacolor as concealer. For example, on T-zone to reduce oil from escaping out from make up😉
4. ULTRA FOUNDATION
Advantage is to have all advantage of the above three (3) foundation combine in to this Ultra Foundation.
Will get the effect like using TV Paint Stick+Supracolor+Dermacolour = Ultra
>(wax effect+heat resistant effect+long lasting+glowing effect+scars skins conditions coverage effect) => but not thick or heavy at all
Disadvantage is it is the most expensive foundation in Kryolan range.
Verdict:
- Good value for money to buy
- Long lasting application
- Not cakey or even crack at all
- The best foundation compare to Supracolour (makes me looks oily instead of dewy) and TV Paint Stick (patchy on me during my dry skin season)
However, if you want smooth and not cakey or even have patches, it is recommended to put on good make up base. As make up base such as primer will help to smooth skin condition, cover all pores so that the foundation application will be smoother and less oily effect on face throughout the whole day.
In other terms such as renovation, similar process like covering all all the holes in the wall before putting the cement. For me, foundation is equal to foundation in make up😝
Please bear in mind that this Kryolan foundation have no SPF in it. Therefore, it is advisable to put sunscreen or primer with SPF before layering it on top. Especially for outdoor uses.
The information about 4 types of Kryolan foundation I obtained from my source page. For those who are interested to buy Kryolan Ultra foundation, can contact me for further details and consultation.
