Welcome to my channel guys or welcome back,
I am Maryam and in today's video I am going
to be reviewing Kosas tinted face oil.  I
am also gonna be doing a wear test on my very
oily skin type and, and, and, and I am going
to plug in my other half Lee who has a dry
skin type, I am gonna do the same comparison
on his skin.  I have honestly never heard
of this brand until about 2 weeks ago, so
I am very intrigued, I am very excited but
before we get into this review, you know the
drill remember to subscribe and hit that notification
bell so you could see all of my Wednesdays
and Sundays videos and now let's get to it,
Kosas tinted face oil are you good enough
for my oily AF skin, let's find out.
Okay guys I would be remiss if I say that
I have heard of Kosas before, I have never
heard of Kosas before up until about 1 week
ago when you guys suggested some of your favorite
products from this brand.  I am not even
sure if Kosas is how you pronounce it, yeah
that's what it says on the box but that name
is perhaps maybe Greek or something, maybe
it's like Kosas or something, I have no idea
that's how little I know about this brand,
however I did just receive this foundation
in the mail from this brand, not sure how
they got my address but I am not mad at it,
and what we have here is a tinted face oil
which they call the sweat pants of foundations. 
So, in my little booklet right here, basically
this is a foundation who can't with foundation. 
No heavy look, cakey look or tricky application,
this foundation situation just got way easier,
so basically, it's a foundation but skin care
type of foundation.  Hhmm you know how I
feel about those, just a little sceptical
but anyway this formula was made with 6 nourishing
oils that even tone and give you a dewy natural
glow $42 available at Sephora or Kosas.com,
available in 16 shades, cruelty free, no parabens,
never tested on animals and best of beauty
allure winner for 2019.  It's got all these
different types of oils in there and this
is what they do, they moisturize, they plump,
they repair, they sooth, they bounce, and
they brighten.
Amazing, incredible so now you guys already
know and if you don't know I am an oily skin
type, now you know super-duper oily plus I
live in New York and its humid here, it's
very humid so I am not living in the ideal
conditions for my skin type.  Whenever I
hear of an oil type of product especially
a foundation that is called a face oil, I
naturally get a little bit frighten, why would
I want to add more oil to my already oily
skin, however I will also say that after reading
some of the reviews on Sephora I did notice
that the better reviews were from people who
in fact has oily skin, so now I am completely
perplexed I am intrigued and I definitely
want to try out this product.  What is this,
how does it work and why does it work.
So, I got 2 shades here that were sent to
me, I got the shade 06 which is a tan with
olive undertones.  I am not currently tanned
but I will make it work, and I also have a
shade #7 which doesn't way what kind of shade
or undertone it is, but I am assuming that
it is even darker than the 6, what you have
to do here is shake it really well.  Okay
sorry having way too much fun, ohh I will
say packaging is really cute, not a lot of
product just 1 fl. oz $42, pricey.   I would
say this is a very janzee type of packaging
as my sister would say, it’s very minimal,
very like glossy make-up type of packaging,
so I don't know is it for people who don't
necessarily need make-up, we will find out.
First let's test out shape 6 right here on
my face, actually this is not a bad match,
not a bad match at all.  Let's test out the
7, yeah this is a true tan okay I will just
set 7 aside and we are gonna stick to shade
6.  I already moisturize and prep my skin
approximately an hour, maybe 45 minutes ago
or so.  I am not going to do the powder under
foundation because this is supposed to be
a really easy type of foundation application,
no fuss just apply it on with your finger
tips or with the brush or with the sponge
and go but I will apply primer to one side
of my face just to see if there is a difference.
So for my primer today I am gonna use the
Laura Mercier Pure Canvas primer Blurring
and I am strictly going to apply that to this
side of my face, I don't know if it will make
a difference but that's what we are here to
find out.  I am going to add 2 drops on each
side of the face because it says here 2-4
drops is basically all you need.  I am gonna
shake it up one more time, like that's nothing
that's really, really minimal but let's see.
It's very, very liquidy on the skin, I feel
like whatever I just add to my forehead was
enough for my forehead I don't need to add
anymore, I have very little bit left in the
palm of my hand.  I am gonna smooth that
over my pores area right here.  I don't know
if it's my moisturizer or it it's actually
the product, but I am getting a sense that
this foundation is rolling into little pellets
off of my skin.  But once I am able to sort
or manoeuvre it into place it does apply very,
very evenly there is no caginess, it doesn't
look like I have any product on.  My skin
does look a little bit perfected obviously
this is very light coverage so you could still
see my spots here, here it's there, you could
still see all of my freckles but my pores
are minimized.  I do actually think that
it's the product that's rolling into itself. 
It almost feels like one of those enzyme exfoliators,
that's weird we will see what it feels like
on Lee's skin.  Oh yeah because I will be
testing it on Lee's dry skin as well but for
now let's apply the rest to the other side
of my face.
I am gonna use a brush for the other side
of my face or maybe a beauty blender we will
see.  So let's do the same 2 drops 1, 2 drop
that's it that's all you get drop that on
my face first, it's really is a minimal amount
of product that I am personally not used to.
It is rolling into pellets, yow what is that
it's so weird.  Alright I am just gonna use
just a little bit more, whatever is remaining
on this little nozzle, I am gonna add it to
this area here that has a little bit more
breakouts and it looks like to me that you
can definitely build up this tinted face oil
but I wouldn't necessarily use it to cover
up imperfections.  I am just gonna let that
sit, after I apply it on Lee's face I am going
to add some concealer and maybe perhaps some
setting powder just to see how it works out
with that but again I really wanna keep it
simple and I wanna use this product the way
that it's intended to be used, simple no fuss
easy like the sweat pants of foundation, rings
bell.
Okay hey guys.
Hi hot stuff, alright so Lee's skin is not
oily it is...
Dry.
Dry, I would say it is more normal to dry
and actually it's flawless, it's the best
that a dry skin can possibly be.
I am blushing for a little bit at the moment.
Can you pronounce this name for us?
Kosas.
We don't know what it is, it could be Kosas.
I have a big head you are gonna apply more
than 4 drops.
No, I am gonna give you what they recommend
to.
I bet they weren't thinking about my massive
head.
1, 2, 3, 4 I don't even think you need this
much.
It feels good.
Feels nice huh, you like that.  Why is it
not rolling into pellets on your skin, I don't
understand?  Maybe it's because I have been
using all those chemical exfoliators, on Lee's
skin this is just applying like magic.
You know what I like about it, and not that
I am some foundation expert or anything like
that but when you put foundation on me in
the past, I could actually feel it.
And this you don't feel?
No, I like when things lay on my face lightly.
We are reviewing a foundation here this isn't
about you sweetie.  Yeah so 4 drops is definitely
enough for you but you have not flaws and
you don't need to cover up anything.  Let's
take a look see you can open up your eyes,
gorgeous brand spanking new, excellent.
How long do I have to keep this on for?
How long are you going to keep it on for?
For hours and hours and hours.
Alright we will check in back with Lee in
a little bit.  Can you tell I am really jealous
of Lee's skin?  Insert any meme of females
applying their skin care for hours and looking
like shit and then, and then washing their
face with a scrub and looking flawless.
Now actually now that this product has had
a chance to really set on my face, in my monitor
I am noticing that my skin looks really, really
good.  Even though I didn't cover up some
of the spots which I am gonna do so right
now, it looks really fresh and natural.
I am gonna go ahead and just spot treat some
of my breakouts, add a little bit of brightness
to the usual areas, I am gonna try to keep
it light today guys.  And the whole thing
about the product rolling off I honestly think
that it was my skin, just because I have been
experimenting a lot with different chemical
exfoliators.  So maybe something in this
foundation is causing dead skin to exfoliate
with it which is why some of the dry skin
people on Sephora.com were complaining that
this product is very clingy to dry spots,
interesting.
You guys I feel like I had a revelation, but
that makes a lot of sense, I totally forgot
to put concealer under my other eye, where
am I, I am just gonna go through this very
quickly.  Something else that I noticed looking
very closely into my mirror, this side of
the face that has the primer on actually looks
like it has more product on the face.  It
looks like the foundation or the tinted face
oil is laying on top of my skin, whereas here
it doesn't look like I am wearing anything
at all, it just looks like skin you could
still see my texture, although my texture
is perfected so that's a very interesting
observation.  Here is this side, here is
this side definitely more flawless though.
I had more flaws on this side I am so confused. 
I am gonna quickly add some cream blush, this
is Fenty Crush on Cupid, just a smidge of
that boom, boom.
I wanna set my under eye very lightly just
to prevent it from creasing but I don't want
to change the texture and the finish of my
face so I don't want it to look super matte
underneath my eyes and luminous all over,
so I am gonna tap off the excess product and
just literally press it once and that's it,
press it once and that's it.  I am gonna
curl my lashes, brushing out my brows using
this Diorshow brow mascara.  Quick little
highlight on the inner corner, a little lip
up turning that corner of my mouth as in my
hacks video, just a bit of that pinky nude
color.  Also, gonna add that to the lids
because why not.  Some mascara waterproof
formula as always, just adding it to the tips
because that is how I keep my short straight
Asian little lashes to maintain the curl,
never put mascara on the actual curl because
that is a sure way to get them to go down.
I am not gonna put any mascara on my lower
lash line I feel like this is enough for today.
Let me just add a smidge of highlighter, this
one is from Estee Lauder's Act IV, just a
subtle little glow to enhance this whole do
situation.  Alright so my basic no make-up,
make-up face is done and now let's observe
that skin.  I will say this side of the face
with the primer looks a little bit more better
covered, it just looks like I have a more
even tone overall.  The forehead looks absolutely
the same on both sides, very dewy I would
even dare to say it's looking a little shiny,
not my preference but it's not awful either
it doesn't look like an oil slick.  It looks
dewy bordering oily but not quite oily yet.
This side of face, not as perfected as the
other side, perhaps the primer did have an
effect.  I could still see some spots, I
could still see my freckles but I will say
that my texture is definitely perfected and
overall my skin looks very natural, very glowing,
very radiant as if I am not wearing any foundation
at all.  I like that but let's see how this
wears on my oily skin type and let's also
check in and see how it wears on Lee's dry
skin type, cue in some of the good old time
warping music here.
Alright, here is our 5-hour check in with
Lee and his dry skin, honestly it does not
look too greasy on you, it looks dewy, still
very natural, still very, very beautiful.
Granted he did not have any dry patches on
his face, his skin is like I said before flawless,
it's very upsetting but this product has worked
really, really nice on him.  Even looking
at his skin up close it does not look like
he is wearing any foundation at all.
Oh the only thing I noticed about being into
skin care is that my fine lines actually show
up more on my forehead, that typically doesn't
happen and for some reason with this foundation
they kinda like grid, these 2 lines show up
a little bit more than they usually do.
Other than that, it’s very light I don't
feel like I am wearing anything to be honest
with you, there are actually skin care products
that are heavier than this.  I am gonna go
work out now and wash my face off.
I will be back in 3 hours to show you my 8-hour
wear test.  Okay guys 4 hours after Lee,
9 hours altogether after I have applied this
Kosas face oil to my skin, let's check out
the side which has the primer.  This looks
really, really even very good, there is definitely
a little bit of breakage of foundation right
here but I won't even say that it’s the
foundation because its exactly where I applied
my concealer and didn't set it, so perhaps
we can attribute this little dry patch situation
to the concealer.  Moving on to the other
side, this looks good as well.  The side
with no primer is a little bit less pore friendly
but overall, I would say my skin looks very
natural and pretty darn good.  The forehead
is a bit more of an oil slick all together,
so is my nose but overall, this product has
worn really, really well.  I also wanna mention
that right here, I don't know if you guys
can see that but there is a little piece of
skin that's starting to peel and come apart.
So I am finding that this is very interesting
even though I am an oily skin type, this face
oil does definitely cling to dry areas or
peeling skin so keep that in mind, I am attributing
my dry skin patches to the fact that I am
currently going through a chemical exfoliation
process which is why I am peeling a little
bit more than usual but overall I would say
this product is definitely very much oily
skin friendly and it looks amazing at the
end of the day.
Yes, $42 is a high price to pay for this tiny
amount of product, it knows it’s expensive,
it knows that's why it just jumped out of
my hand but I would say if you are someone
who is not into the whole step by step make-up
routine, the primers, the setting powders,
the sprays.  If you want something that is
fuss free, that's really easy to use, definitely
check out this Kosas tinted face oil and give
it a go.  I am gonna have to rate the product
an 8 out of 10 because I was surprised by
how long wearing and how naturally looking
it is overall.
So, those are my final 2 cents, I am going
