Reviews for "Asam Magiic Finish: Glow Up Your Skincare Routine"
1. Lauren - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Asam Magic Finish product. I had high hopes for it based on the reviews I had read, but it did not meet my expectations. The texture was quite thick and it felt heavy on my skin. It also emphasized my pores and didn't provide the coverage I was looking for. I found it difficult to blend and it didn't last very long throughout the day. Overall, I would not recommend this product to others.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I cannot understand why people rave about the Asam Magic Finish. I found it to be extremely greasy and it made my skin breakout. It also clung to dry patches and emphasized them, making my skin look even worse. The shade range is also quite limited, and I struggled to find a color that matched my skin tone. I didn't see any "magical" results, and I definitely won't be repurchasing this product.
3. Mike - 2/5 - Asam Magic Finish was a letdown for me. I had heard so many positive things about it, but it just didn't work for my oily skin. It made me look even shinier and didn't control oil at all. The coverage was more on the sheer side, and it didn't do much to hide my blemishes or uneven skin tone. I also found that it oxidized throughout the day, making me look orange. Overall, this product didn't live up to the hype for me.
4. Emily - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Asam Magic Finish, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The texture was quite thick and heavy, making my skin feel suffocated. It also settled into my fine lines and wrinkles, accentuating them instead of blurring them out. The finish was also quite dewy, which didn't work well with my combination skin. I was hoping for a more natural, matte finish. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and won't be repurchasing.
