Dermacol Foundation Cover - Real VS Fake

Dermacol Foundation Cover - Real VS Fake

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! A lot of people have been getting scammed by people selling Fake Dermacol Foundation! I set out to buy a fake, on purpose to show you how to spot a fake! Also to warn you the danger in using counterfeit cosmetics. This article is so helpful and full of tons of great information. Counterfeit cosmetics are legitimately scary! I was lucky enough to purchase a real Dermacol on Amazon and didn’t get scammed. I did color match myself very wrong though, lol.

Differences in the boxes packaging:

Real: The packaging has less vibrant colors and design.

Fake: The colors are very vibrant and stand out in contrast.

Real: The pink has a cool tone hue with a subtle texture. 

Fake:  The pink is a really warm almost peachy pink.

Real: The black is almost a really dark charcoal, again with a fine texture. 

Fake: The black is a true black, again very contrasted. 

Real: The silver flower pattern is again less shiny, and seems to blend with the packing.

Fake: The floral pattern is very silver, and stands out very bright.

Real: The gold is a softer yellow gold.

Fake: The gold is a vivid yellow gold.

Real: The gold holographic Dermacol sticker is lined up evenly, sharp clean edges with the letters and flowers that are holographic and just a shiny background.

Fake: The gold holographic sticker doesn’t fit quite right with rounded corners and the entire sticker is holographic.

Real: The sticker that has the shade, expiration and batch number is matte and lined up straight.

Fake: The sticker is shiny, crooked and the font is a little thinner. 

Differences is Tubes packing:

Real: Bronzey gold metal tube.
Fake: Lighter yellow gold metal tube.

Real: Darker gold cap with a fat puncture tip.
Fake: Light gold cap with slim puncture tip.

Real: End of tube is folded and pressed very flat.
Fake: End of tube is folded over and can be unfolded easily.

Real: Charcoal black colored text lined up straight.
Fake: Medium grey font that's crooked.

Real: Color shade text is medium size and clearly typed.
Fake: Smaller font that's lighter and softer in color.

Real: Scent is soft yet floral.
Fake: Strong floral chemical scent.

Real: Thick formula with smooth texture.
Fake: Formula is almost greasy and oily, kind if slimy.

Real: Coverage is full, and covers a tattoo.
Fake: Medium sheer coverage, can’t cover even a faded tattoo.

The Difference is pretty obvious here!

Dermacol Make-up Cover Foundation Review and Demo

Dermacol Make-up Cover Foundation Review and Demo

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! Today I’m reviewing the widely talked about, Dermacol Makeup Cover! The wording on the box is a little strange, which makes sense considering it’s from Prague and translated into English. This is marketed as a "Extreme Full Coverage" foundation that you can use alone and not have to worry about concealer. There are some huge claims on the box along with an instructions booklet in multiple languages. I'll have the full list of facts and claims below! 

The Application Process and My Final Thoughts.

To start out my makeup today I made sure to was my face really well, moisturize and prime my face like I normally would. I was to give the foundation the best shot at working how it claims to. One thing to note, please look at a lot of reviews. I didn't do enough research on the shades and just went with what I thought looked my shade, But it's too dark and very orange on me! Just based on my experience, the shade in the tube is much darker than it looks like it would be online. In order for me to get it to be the correct shade, I have to mix it with my super light Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Pore-less Foundation in shade Porcelain 110. When I mix it, I use half a pea size amount of the Dermacol and about six times that amount of the Maybelline. The foundation mixed in that ration, was perfect for my skin tone. It lasted all day, I was over 80 degrees the other day and I sweat my ass off and it stayed put! I noticed it did wear away right at my hair line where I sweat the most.

I am going to repurchase this in my shade, and keep this darker one for if I have a tan this summer and for maybe cream contour. I don't do much contouring. I don't do it well so I stick to bronzing up my skin a little. I have a large tattoo on my left forearm, so I'm going to test coverage on it and show some picture for reference, since so many claim it covers tattoos! It doesn't feel heavy on the skin, and it has a light scent. It almost smells like the Marc Jacobs Decadence One, but a little lighter! It's so nice smelling. To buy this foundation, just google it. You can find it on Amazon, Ebay, Wish, and many others. To make sure you aren't getting a weird off brand product, i'd recommend using Amazon.
