3ina The 3 in 1 Foundation – Swatch & Review

Hello,

Recently I have been using the 3ina (pronounced Mina) The 3 in 1 foundation an awful lot and I have received a few questions around not only the shade that I use but also the availability for deeper skin tones. Whilst I was in London over the weekend I thought I would stop by the store and take some images which I hope you find helpful.

You may notice the numbers appear slightly out of sync with “216” being the deepest shade. This is as 3ina have been expanding their shade range so I imagine that this is only the beginning.

My match is 219 which is one of the best foundation matches I have had. Probably the reason why I have bought a spare already!

So that you know before I talk about how I found it, I have a heavily oily t-zone. My skin is also prone to breakouts and scarring. In terms of coverage I found it more on the full of medium-full with a semi matte finish (more like my ideal skin type). It is 3 in 1 so in terms of consistency, it is thicker than most foundations. I only require about 1 pump to cover my face so a little goes a long way.

Originally I purchased this with the loose setting powder and setting spray. I was informed that the foundation would perform better with these. Since, I have tried various combinations (with and without) and found that they do make a difference with all my foundations. (Not just 3ina) Specifically that I get longer wear and little shine especially on my oily parts. (without any powder top-up)

There are 24 shades so far and the foundation is available for £15.95 on their website a stockist HERE (*affiliate link)
