In the test: make-up
Of course, not mask-like, but caring - that's three wishes at once. Too much for a make-up?

A very good make-up should be able to do a lot: cover, but do not complain, smell good, but do not contain too many artificial ingredients and best still maintain and protect our skin with LSF from too much sun. If it hits our skin tone and spreads easily, we have found the perfect make-up.
JOY Online is looking for the super make-up
But it can sometimes take a long time to get there! To help you find the super make-up, we've grabbed and tested seven products before. Consistency, opacity, odor and durability were in the foreground. Whether everyone could choose their individual winner? On the following pages you will learn the results of our editorial test.
Everything in focus
With the "Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Make-up" Clinique wants to hit several flies with a, er, make-up brush. In addition to a uniform complexion, the product should also offer repair, protection and care. I am actually happy when it mattes my skin and covers pores. But the additional points would of course be a nice thing!
The liquid make-up comes in a small glass bottle. A pity that does not have a pump dispenser. After I unscrew the lid, the make-up comes to mind. At a price of 35 euros for 30 ml content you have to pay attention to the right dosage. Carefully, I apply an olive-sized blob of it to the back of my hand. Then I distribute the make-up with a brush on the face.
Make-up with wrinkle eraser
The foundation spreads very well over my day cream. My pores disappear as if by magic. Opacity: Very good! Even first wrinkles look diminished. However, I do not know if they will be erased over time after one month. However, new ones should not come to that, as the make-up protects with SPF 15, special repair enzymes and vitamin E. The make-up lasts almost the whole day, but towards evening the opacity decreases.
Conclusion: Full laser, as the "Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Make-up" goes off! With day cream underneath, I find it optimal for me, the shelf life is good and it looks very natural: a good make-up for every day.

A new make-up fan
When it comes to make-up, I'm picky: It should be comfortable, cover, but not a mask, survive a whole working day and ideally have a sun protection factor.
The "Teint Idole Ultra 24H" by Lancôme with the new "EternalSoft" technology is supposed to meet all my wishes. I would like to see that and test it expectantly. The noble conical glass bottle is already super in the hand. With the help of the pump dispenser the liquid make-up can be dosed well.
Make-up without mask effect
The light and fresh texture is easy to apply without leaving any irregular marks. Unlike some other make-up, the product smells pleasantly discreet. The opacity also convinces me: The make-up mattifies, but still looks very natural and not a bit of mask.
"Teint Idole Ultra 24H" feels pleasant on the skin and for once I do not feel that my skin can not breathe. The feeling lasts all day, including a short visit to the café after work.
Conclusion: Thanks to this product, I have become a make-up fan. All my requirements have been met. And the great thing: "Teint Idole Ultra 24H" is now available in eight new, so a total of 18 shades. So every woman will surely find the color that suits her personal complexion. The 30 ml bottle costs around 40 euros.

Perfect shade as if by magic
Without makeup I never leave the house - too pale and uneven would look like my complexion. Nevertheless, I would like to look like I'm unvarnished, ugly make-up edges are my personal nightmare. The "Universal Make-up" from the line "Studio Secrets Professional" from L'Oréal Paris could fulfill my wishes, because it should adapt to my individual skin tone perfectly.
When I push the liquid make-up out of the tube, I'm pretty surprised: It's white! Only small beige beads are visible. When I apply the odorless make-up, I am amazed for the second time.
Long-lasting make-up
As if by magic, it changes color and actually adapts to my skin tone. The Farbpatickelchen makeup in the "virtually" recognize the tone of my skin and adapt to this. My complexion immediately looks more even and fresher. Even the dreaded make-up edges I can not recognize. However, little redness is not covered properly. Due to the moisture contained in the make-up my skin also shines quite strong, which is why I still apply a mattifying powder. In this combination, the makeup lasts amazingly long, even after a long day at work, my skin looks almost even.
Conclusion: The tube with 34 ml costs 18 euros - not just a little. As an opaque make-up, the "universal make-up" is less suitable for me, but as a primer under a mattifying powder, it is doing very well. Thanks to the included SPF 12 I protect my skin even against nasty UV radiation.

Just do not shine!
Since my teenage years I have been struggling with shiny skin. That's where a make-up with matt effect comes in handy! The new Foundation "Ever Matte" by Clarins is said to have a clarifying and absorbing effect and to provide a dull, even complexion. According to the manufacturer, ingredients such as maple-tree lark extract and chrysin help to control sebum production, while extracts of white tea protect against free radicals.
In the morning I apply the make-up after my day cream. Thanks to the flat plastic bottle with a chic, golden lid, it not only looks good, but also makes it easy to travel with and easy to dose.
Natural skin texture
The foundation smells slightly perfumed, but pleasant and absorbs quickly. Smaller redness and impurities disappear, but the product does not look extremely opaque. I think that's fine, because I prefer to show something of my natural skin, rather than wearing a make-up mask. In addition, it also contains a UV filter with SPF 15.
After applying the make-up, the skin looks definitely duller than before - unfortunately only a few hours. To the Foundation is still a matching powder, the "Ever Matte Poudre Compacte Minérale" with "Glanzstopp complex", which I have unfortunately not tested. Certainly make-up and powder work longer in combination.
Conclusion: The Foundation "Ever Matte" is ideal for my skin type. For the optimal matt effect, I will get me even the powder. The products are cheap at about 27 euros for 30 ml Foundation and 33 euros for 10 g powder unfortunately not. Since they are very skin-friendly and the make-up also contains a sun protection factor, I find the price justifiable.

Make-up dreams of foam
My skin is possibly the most uncomplicated of its kind. The only drawback: Fiese Augenschatten. And that's exactly what my test make-up should tackle! One that is as light as the air itself: the "Dream Nude Foam Makeup". Indeed, the addition to Maybelline's "Dream" family is actually foam - and promises a velvety matte finish with unparalleled opacity without complaining.
Frothy opacity
Less is more, especially in the application of make-up foam. Hardly is its handy mini-spray can well shaken and the pump dispenser operated, comes to me in the still untrained phase of my test time a whole truckload of foam flew contrary. So better not too euphoric go into the shake mode - even if the stains (poof!) Are leachable.
The next attempts, however, become child's play: a walnut-sized amount on the fingers is enough for the whole face. With a slight crackle, the breezy crowd turns into a normal make-up, which smells discreetly after the classic-chemical smell of a foundation. And it covers! Contrary to my expectations is in the small air flakes a decent portion of defining pigments. Wow!
Conclusion: Simply heavenly, this foam! The "Dream Nude foam make-up" by Maybelline can be wonderfully dosed and covers lightning fast. Thanks to its easy handling, it is especially suitable for make-up beginners or nimble corrections throughout the day. With a fairly average price of 13 euros for 50 ml's my buy recommendation.

A touch of luxury
Redness, enlarged pores and small impurities - my make-up has a lot to do in the morning. After that, my skin should not look painted. I'm testing Dior's "Forever Fluid" with LSF 25. Let's see if it convinces me!
The liquid make-up comes in a glass bottle with pump dispenser. First, I have to shake the vial neatly so that the care and dyes can mix with each other. When pumping once, only a larger drop comes out. And that should be enough?
Minimum amount, maximum effect
The make-up can actually be super distributed and I have to pump for my complete face only two times. On the skin it feels really great and light, actually like a cream. Since perfume is in it, it smells a bit too much. But after application, the smell vanishes.
The great thing is that I do not even realize that I'm wearing make-up. From the visible result, I'm just as excited: My complexion looks really nice evenly, no trace of make-up edges. It even dulls my T-zone. In the evening, however, the opacity decreases slightly. But one drop is enough and I am ready to go again.
Conclusion: I am thrilled! The make-up covers, feels like a second skin and leaves no irritation. Unfortunately, the "Forever Fluid" by Dior with a price of 44 euros for 50 ml is very expensive and thus remains a luxury product. But what are there for birthdays and a dear grandmother?

Pleasant skin feeling
I would like a product that gently lays on my skin, lasts the whole day and still moisturizes. Very high expectations that the "Perfect Adapt Make Up" from Manhattan has to fulfill in this test.
In the morning I apply the make-up over my day cream. Thanks to the practical pump dispenser I can dose the product perfectly. It feels very comfortable on the skin and absorbs quickly. Even annoying edges hardly arise and can be passed quickly.
Delicate make-up, little opacity
The product smells pleasantly discreet, but unfortunately can not completely cover minor flaws. After all, the light and creamy texture makes me forget to apply make-up in the meantime. My skin looks and feels fresh.
Unfortunately, the product does not last as long as stated. In the afternoon my complexion does not look so smooth anymore - of course this is not very practical for a long working day.
Conclusion: The "Perfect Adapt Make up" from Manhattan could unfortunately not quite convince me. Although it feels pleasant and light on the skin, it does not cover minor blemishes, nor does it last all day. Although the price is cheap at around 7 euros for a 30-ml tube, I would like a product that promises me a longer shelf life and better opacity.
