20 Best Waterproof Foundation For Swimming (2023 Updated)

This is as amazing as everyone in the beauty community says it is. It’s full coverage beyond belief, so a little goes a long way. I believe that it was originally designed for film or stage makeup so it’s a bit much to use on it’s own.

When used on it’s own consistently, I often break out. I love mixing it with a more sheer foundation like the or the. It’s great for photos, filming, stage makeup and special events. Because this product has so much pigment, it also works well as a concealer or cover up.

I would recommend this product, but I would caution against fake products. Always purchase from an authorized retailer. Do your research and make sure your product is genuine! Five out of five stars.

I ordered shade 208 in this to use as a tattoo cover up along side the dermacol makeup setting spray and I have to say I’m hugely impressed! I am very very pale so bought shade 208 which is the lightest shade available and although it is still slightly too dark for my skin tone, it does the job! You need only the tiniest amount so it will last ages and you can layer up the application too.

I just used any old moisturiser as a base and then dabbed a spot of this on with a dermacol application sponge layering up once each layer has dried. I then used baby powder as a setting powder and then finished with the dermacol setting spray and it is produced a matt finish that was soft to touch and didn’t smudge when I put on my sandals.

Perfect and great value for money!!!.

I love this foundation! The formula is amazing! So I will start by saying I received this complimentary from Influenster and the shade would have been the correct color if it had not been me going to CA + getting a tan! So now I would say I am Porcelain/Vanilla 🙂 when I am really dark Ligjt beige these are all the neutral undertones! When this foundation first came out they did not have as many fair shades as they do now which I love because us pale girls in Oregon know the struggle.

I will note that the “porcelain” shade is a bit darker than at what you would normally label as porcelain so just a thing to keep in mind 🙂 Here is my run down of this foundation: LOVE: – This foundation creates a peerless appearance for me (I am very oily) and I love how the texture isnt fully exposed – I love the shade range of colors too faced has to offer with this – The coverage is amazing I do tend to have circles under my eyes, redness, and pores and this covers it ALL! (Saya medium coverage but for me it’s more full which I love) -Little goes a long way and it doesnt oxidize like crazy or turn super orange -Although its hydrating it IS oily free so I love how I fo t get slick after a few hours! co-stars on wonderfully greatly paired with a peerless primer! The only con I would say about this is perhaps the form of application.

I do like how this looks better with a brush than a beauty blender. Bit personal preference I know others who use this with a blender and it’s pretty so take that with a grain of salt. Definitely worth the price as it lasts about 6 to 8 months 🙂 Love how effortless my skin looks with this foundation and I need to try the concealer also!.

I received this product for free from Influenster in return for my honest opinion. I really like Too Faced Cosmetics and have bought from them many times in the past. I received the Born This Way foundation in Seashell.

I have bought blush and eyeshadow primarily from Too Faced so I was extremely excited, as I’ve never tried a foundation from them before. Born This Way foundation is medium to full coverage formula that is oil free.

I was a little worried as the color didn’t look like it would be a good match in the bottle. It looked like it would be slightly darker than the shades I normally wear. After applying I was pleasantly surprised that it was a really good match.

There is a pump for dispensing the product which I appreciate as I didn’t waste as much product. While my skin didnt look completely flawless, a lot of the imperfections were covered and the product didn’t cake as the day wore on.

I did prime and prep my face before applying. I did noticec that the product dried faster than some foundations I normally use. I tried applying on different occasions with a wet beauty blender and a foundation brush, and would recommend using the beauty blender.

The moisture from the damp sponge seemed to make the job of blending out easier given how quickly the product dried. The foundation didnt seem like it was very hydrating, and might not be best for drier skin types.

This would be a great product for those looking for a foundation that isn’t full coverage, but that you can still easily build out. I would recommend prepping first with moisture and primer before applying for a more flawless look.

Overall I’m very happy with the foundation, and will be regularly adding it in to my beauty rotation.

I received the Swan skin tone btw, there just wasn’t the option for that color on here. Anyway, I have previously purchased the Born This Way multi-use sculpting concealer which is a hg product for me, so I was really excited to try this foundation.

I normally use a BB cream only for my face because I’m pale with combination skin, which makes it really hard to find a foundation that not only matches my skin tone but also wears well throughout the day.

I was really surprised and happy to find that the Swan color tone matched me perfectly and reduced my pink/red undertones. I like using BB cream/foundation on my T-zone only and with this product, there was no obvious line of where the product ended, so it’s it blends well.

Once I tried on the foundation I immediately went for a walk to take it on a test run. It’s summer here in California so it’s really hot, not to mention I tend to sweat a lot. At the end of the walk I still had medium coverage and looked great! My only complaint is that there was some “pilling” around my lips where I had sweated and the foundation had clumped.

So that’s definitely something to look out for if you’re a sweaty gal like me, but I can’t fault it too much because I’ve never tried a foundation that stands up too great after a workout. All in all I’ll be buying a replacement once this runs out as I’ll be using this for date nights and work events.

I honestly love the color and lightweight feel of it even though it’s gives medium coverage (or full coverage if you use more – I used a tiny amount blended with a beauty sponge).

I just received this foundation as I purchased during the day of beauty event. I use a lot of different foundations from Dior to the Ordinary and some Korean BB creams. I have Lupus and have had dry skin with flares of butterfly rash that need covering for years.

However, I broke out in the most terrible bout of acne since I was a teen (in 40’s now!). I have been needing more and more coverup and I hate having to pack layers on then use a concealer. I have hot flashes and live in a hot climate.

It’s kinda yick. I remember hearing dermablend is a good option for covering acne. I opened the package as soon as it came and tried the smallest drop on the acne over my non-spf matte base/primer. It covers beautifully with just one layer! I bet I can use it as concealer as well.

It is much lighter consistency then I had thought it would be (I was thinking it would be heavy and more like the Clinique concealer/ foundation in one). I am extremely pale as lupus and sunlight don’t mix.

This is first time in ages I am not a company’s lightest colour! (I am next to lightest! Huzzah!) I recommend trying this foundation. Now I just need to see how it works with my sunscreen base next. Right now, I don’t even need to powder set and hope that will hold true for all applications regardless of base/primer type.

For buying a new foundation on-line, the 37N turned out great for my neutral medium skin tone. Just a tad light, but going into winter and my mineral powder provides enough color on top. I read the directions on-line before purchasing since this is a blendable formula you must mix each time and express any product from the applicator to get fresh product.

Had some difficulty at first as it seemed product was stuck in the squeeze dropper so nothing was going into it or coming out. I was able to free up the product finally to apply. Excellent coverage that DOES NOT oxidize or fade after application.

I had melasma and acne scars so coverage that doesn’t fade is important. IT foundation fades after application 😐 I had this on all day without primer or setting spray just some mineral powder. Excellent staying power even after touching my face!! I have used the dermablend coverage cream foundation before but for day to day use it feels heavy and looks a little too make-upy.

I like this Creator formula better as you can dictate your coverage level you want – light, medium, full.

26yr Female here combination skin. in search of natural full coverage. I’ve waited until I got to experiment a bit before I wrote this. I’ll share all I know. first off, my bottle broke. I was able to save quite a bit of it.

The dropper is trash, don’t even bother. A little goes a long way. By itself it looks very natural and covers surprisingly well. I put coconut oil on my dry spots and put 4-5 small dots around my face and it spreads like butter.

I don’t use a sponge, a thicker foundation brush blends well. but this alone doea not last long. Here is how I use it: I use lock it boundation(best full coverage I’ve found that looks good) I use this just on my cheeks where I have acne scars and redness.

Then I put the dermablend on the same areas and the rest of my face to blend. always use a setting powder. I have gotten so many compliments on my face, and because a little goes a long way, this will last me a long time.

worth the money even if you have to use with another foundation. My favorite part is, I’d I use coconut oil on my wrinkles, the dermablend doesn’t sink in and make them stand out more like most foundations.

Definitely one of my favorite products. Just have to learn how to use it.

Great coverage for older skin, doesn’t go cakey. Has a dewy natural look and lasts until I take it off with a hot cloth cleanser. Have used it in saunas, while swimming, and working out at the gym and occasionally during an afternoon siesta and it stays put.

It doesn’t transfer onto my white sheets. I have an olive skin which tans easily, I use no. 40 during the winter and no. 50 in the summer. I’ve also used a darker shade no. 60 to add colour to my cheeks instead of blushers which can often make my cheeks too flushed.

I’ve been using this foundation for several years with no allergic reactions to my skin.

I didn’t go one shade lighter when I ordered because it was spring and I figured I have the nice stuff for summer, but nope. Even though I ordered the next to lightest, I guess I am very pale, because it looks ridiculous on me.

I gave it a 4 anyway, because I like their other products, such as the brown liner and the Wunderlift cream. Also, from the failed two times of trying to use it, I can say that the coverage is thorough and looks nice, smells nice, feels nice.

just order a color a bit lighter than what you usually might (I guess I’d have to order 👻 “ghost. ” LOL. Oh, I love the travel size mini lipstick and mini eye liners, but the perfect selfie seems a bit useless.

I have other highlighters that do a better job, but the lip liner color is striking and it stays well.

I always try and buy from Wunder2, when there’s no sale to support a worthy business. I love their products and always recommend them to friends. I get compliments when my face is made up with Wunderbrow, foundation, selfie powder and mascara (all chocolate, bronze and black range for darker complexions).

I want to try their concealer because my other brand has almost run out, so a good opportunity for new. Hope this helps!.

I started wearing this foundation probably around 15 years ago and Ill never use any other brand. When googling foundation recommendations, this is always the one that is so highly recommended, and its with very good reason.

The staying power is unreal, especially when used with a good primer and setting spray. It just doesnt come off until you want it to. Ive tried applying it many different ways over the years, when I was younger and wanted a more full coverage I would apply it with my fingers.

Then I moved onto a stippling type brush. But now I prefer a more natural finish so I use a damp beauty blender. There are some reviews that say that this foundation is bad for dry skin, but it all depends on how you prep your skin before application.

I have extremely dry, flaky skin and I find that this is the ONLY foundation that leaves a nice smooth finish. I make sure that my skin is exfoliated, properly moisturised and primed and the finish is always perfect.

I dont set it with powder as it doesnt need it in terms of staying power and I prefer more of a dewy finish rather than a matte finish. Ive used many different foundations over the years high end and budget, but always came back to this one because nothing else compares.

The coverage is completely buildable, so you can wear it fairly sheer, or you can build it up to complete full coverage. It contains SPF 10 which is ok, but I use an SPF 3050 underneath it aswell just to be safe.

The only downside to this product is that it is no good for professional flash photography, as the SPF creates a white cast in photos. So I wont be able to wear it on my wedding day It would be great if Este Lauder would create a professional version of this product which contains no SPF and leaves no white cast.

I really like Becca’s face powders and highlighters so I went ahead and picked up this foundation to try. I typically don’t wear a full coverage foundation as I prefer a light/medium coverage i can build up if needed but there are a few full coverage foundations i really like that don’t feel like plaster on my skin.

I chose my shade online and while I usually can match my shade fairly easily, this was not the case with this line of foundations. The neutral undertone shades definitely lean more warm and the shade I chose had way too much of a peachy undertone.

After going in store, I found most of the medium shades undertones to seem off. I did ultimately find a shade I could work with. This foundation is definitely on the thicker side, living up to it’s full coverage claims.

Once applied, it has a satin like finish and sets nicely without feeling heavy. I did notice that this foundation oxidizes fairly quickly and also starts to become oily and eventually starts to seperate after a few hours.

I tried to combat this with a setting powder and spray but neither helped. Overall, its looks beautiful when it’s freshly applied but after a couple hours, it falls apart. While it isn’t the worst foundation I’ve ever tried, it’s not one I’d reach for.

So, I liked this, but I needed ivory or porcelain. It doesn’t have quite the coverage promised and I can make the color work, because I wound up with a neutral instead of a pink. It’s winter, that’s fine.

It’s a “natural finish” so that’s OK, but I don’t feel it lasts quite as long as I’d like. For the $44 price, I would like a bit better. That being said, I would probably buy the other colors on sale, ivory in the fall/winter and porcelain in the spring and summer.

(Yeah, fair skin is a struggle, too! All the burning 🔥!) I consider myself quite lucky to change maybe a shade now that I’m older and living in the south. My sister got all of the olive tones our Spanish heritage had to give our whole family until the next generation.

It’s not fair. So anyway, there’s things I like about this foundation, it goes on smoothly, but I rather have to work at it. Most people will love this where I just like it.

I don’t usually wear full coverage foundations unless I’m going for a much more polished look but I’ve been wearing this every day for a week and am happy to see how flawless my skin looks with this on! It claims it’s water and transfer resistant and it’s mostly so.

If your skin is on the drier side, I’d recommend really prepping your skin with a good emollient moisturizer, then sealing it in with a silicone based primer. The foundation is silicone based so using a silicone based primer will work the best.

I don’t find I have any issues with spreadability or application like some users report. Only thing I can recommend is to make sure you’re exfoliating your dead, dry skin away to prevent patchy application or don’t use a primer that is exceptionally drying.

Proper prep of the skin is key to prevent full coverage foundations from looking bad.

this foundation is everything I’ve been looking for. I looked over Mac for a while but I’m so glad I have this now. it has higher coverage than what I’m used to, and it looks flawless but doesn’t feel drying on my face at all.

it looks nice with a higher coverage or with a thin layer. I love that it is waterproof and long lasting but still Hydrating, and a higher coverage than the face and body. I live in a very hot and humid summer climate so I always opt for waterproof foundation, and I’m loving this one for higher coverage and the face and body for light coverage.

it’s easy to use and get it to look flawless with a brush and sponge, and it’s nice and agreeable with all my other products including powders and creams. and it works well with setting powder and sprays and can be easily reset.

it’s a classic and I’m loving it!.

This is a simply beautiful foundation that lasts and lasts. It’s waterproof so great in rainy weather or for swimming as it stays in place beautifully. It comes in a great range of shades so it’s easy to find a perfect match.

Mac foundations are high quality and this pro longwear nourishing waterproof foundation is no exception. It’s flattering and easy to apply, I actually just blend it with my fingers and it hides imperfections and gives an even professional look that is quite youthful.

At $60. 00 it’s great value for money as I never have to use a lot and it blends and spreads well. Love this and will buy it again.

*** Product bought with my own money *** Application method : sponge. PROS : – thick liquid, like a soft mousse, but offers no resistance to spreading (during the few seconds before it dries), – medium coverage in one layer, – super powdery matte finish (this is a good point for me), – no tacky feeling, – super lighweight on the skin, CONS : – cakes immediately upon contact with some areas of my face (nose & undereyes area), – cakes everywhere even worse if you try to build it up, or simply when you blend two areas which creates demarcation lines, – pools and settles in every single pore and fine line (it looks like polka-dots on my nose) – flash drying, almost upon contact with skin, which makes it impossible to blend properly, – grabs onto, and highlights, the slightest flakiness of the skin, – under some angles, it has the strongest purplish white cast I’ve ever seen in outdoors lighting, – oxidizes and darkens (1 shade) as soon as it mixes with the skin natural fluids or setting spray, and darkens even further (2 to 3 shades) during the day, – transfers easily (so don’t count on it to be mask-friendly), – far from full coverage (not even in your dreams), – the new shades don’t match the old ones (only for the shades that already existed within the old range), even though the names are the same, – dries so fast that it clogs the pump from one day to the next (thus it spurts everywhere as soon as you press the pump), – smaller shade selection than the previous formula (weird).

COMMENTS : Seriously, did Maybelline even test this product before its launch ?? This is the ugliest foundation I’ve ever worn in my entire makeup life. I suspected it could be a nightmare as the formula is very close to NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop and L’Oréal Infallible Pro Matte foundations, both of which gave me horrendous results, but I saw a few tweaks in the ingredient list that made me hoping that the flaws of these two foundations formulas could be fixed.

well nope, I get exactly the same results with this one. While it can look pretty (from a distance, everything is ugly in my 8x magnifying mirror) ONLY on some areas of my face (like my cheeks and the sides of my forehead), it cakes immediately upon contact with my nose and my undereyes area, and pools and settles into every single pore and fine line (but once it’s there it stays there, unfortunately), looking like polka-dots on my nose and my forehead.

It flash dries upon contact with the skin making it impossible to blend. It dries so fast by itself that it clogs the pump from one day to another, I have to scratch what’s inside the pump otherwise, it spurts everywhere when I press the pump.

I tried numerous times to make it work, switching from a skin prep to another, trying various primers and moisturizers, mixing it with anything else, changing my application technique (dotting it on my face with my finger, or picking it up with my sponge), I always end up removing everything and doing my makeup once more with my beloved Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation (which looks perfect, even in my 8x magnifying mirror).

Under some angles, it has a super strong purplish white cast, which makes color matching pretty difficult as the shade may at first appear lighter than it really is. Then it oxidizes and darkens (1 shade) when it mixes with the skin natural fluids and darkens even further (2 to 3 shades) during the day, making it even harder to color match The shades have also changed : my shade is now much lighter to begin with, but darkens even darker than the previous formula (it turns pumpkin orange on my pale skin).

Now I give up, this foundation is trash (sorry, there’s no other word that matches it as well). In addition, the reviews on the new formula and the old formula are mixed together which skews the global rating.

This is a NEW PRODUCT, not only a packaging change, and it just launched a few months ago, in no way it could already have more than 3000 reviews, and the reviews should not be mixed !!! On Maybelline’s website, this product has more than 98% really bad reviews within 4 months saying the new 30H formula is cakey and dries too fast.

that says a lot !!!.

PROS: – This stuff STAYS ON. When I prime correctly (moisturizing primer to prevent oil production) this foundation sets and don’t budge an inch for hours and hours. I wore this in a snow storm for a wedding, getting pelted with icy snow, being bothered by my hair and my jacket’s hood, and the foundation was not fazed at all.

– It’s definitely full coverage. I color correct underneath and I never use concealer with this foundation: it just doesn’t need it. One thin layer of this is all you need. CONS: – Sets FAST. Not easy to blend for this reason.

You have to move VERY quickly. – Formula is full coverage, but also pretty thick, not runny at all. This makes is easy to accidentally cake on too much, which looks particularly bad with this foundation.

– Can be a bit chalky if too dry or caked on. I never set this with powder except for under my eyes. CONCLUSION: This is tricky to work with and can easily look bad, but when done right it’s serious full coverage and long wear for a good price.

I would recommend this as a cheap option for full coverage, long wear, formal occasion makeup, I don’t see this being an effortless everyday foundation.

I was gifted this Maybelline Super Stay Active Wear Foundation product in exchange for my honest review. This is a great foundation. Although it’s a little more liquidy in consistency, it applies very evenly, easily, and smooth.

It’s dispensed through a pump bottle thats conveniently mess-free and the 130 Buff Beige shade matches really well with my light olive complexion. I have combination skin type that leans a bit more on the oilier side, so the matte finish compliments my shiny skin immensely, especially the t-zone, without looking cakey, overly thick, or experiencing creasing/buildup in the usual areas.

It’s positively transfer resistant for the entire day, with buildable coverage, that maintains a nearly perfect “just applied” look for over 24 hours. I love that my foundation flawlessly dissipates every dark spot, blemish, and fine line that my skin attains but not just by layering itself over it, but somehow magically making it disappear, where I totally forget about it until I wash my face later that night.

I highly recommend Maybelline’s Super Stay Active Wear Foundation. It will not disappoint.

That’s the best thing about this product. I’ve used it a few years and I’ve tried a lot of different foundations. This wins hands down as the best for lastability!! More so than the toughest brands of Clarins, Lancôme or Estée Lauder.

After working through the pandemic and wearing face masks every day, I’ve tested many foundations (I would still wear my make up as the face masks don’t cover my entire face and I have insecurities around my face being red and having a little rosacea) but Bare Pro is the only one that stayed put from start to finish.

You will need a very good cleanser to remove it properly! Bare Pro tip – apply with a sponge and dab it on the areas where you need the most coverage rather than using fingers or a brush. A sponge will make it go much further with a touch of moisturiser underneath.

I only gave 4 stars though because it’s supposed to be non-acnegenic but I did notice more breakouts with this product (compared to Clinique Beyond Perfecting, which is my all time favourite). It can also be tricky to find the right shade – a lot of undertones are either too pink or too yellow for my fair Irish skin.

I eventually settled on no. 7 which seemed to be the best for my tone but just know that the shade does darken a little once it dries. It’s still a great foundation I love it and I still wear it sometimes, just not everyday anymore since I noticed the extra few spots around my nose and my jawline but I think that’s just my face being extra persnickety!!.

There are a lot of wonderful things about this foundation: 1) It is definitely full coverage 2) Easy to apply 3) Doesn’t cause break outs 4) Matches my skin tone perfectly However, there are a few things keeping me from loving it: 1) It looks cakey and dry on my skin.

Even though I have super oily skin, it still somehow manages to look dry and patchy in some areas (even though those spots still end up being oily). 2) It doesn’t have the stay power I was hoping it would have.

It stays pretty well for the first 6 hours but then starts to wear off. It seems to stay put longer on cooler, less active days so it’s probably because of my oiliness. 3) It doesn’t mattify as well as I would have liked.

Like I said above, it definitely looks dry and patchy on the skin in areas, but my oily skin still shines through. However, some areas stay nicely matte. I have tried wearing it with and without foundation, but I don’t see any differences between the application, wearability, stay power, and patchiness.

Overall, I like enough to keep it and am going to keep experimenting with it to see if I can overcome the small issues. It is definitely better than most foundations I’ve tried. Especially for acne prone skin.

Wow. That’s all I can say. Pros- – wide color range with pictures distinctly labeled warm , cool, neutral, making it very easy to find your perfect color – unlike most long wearing foundations, this doesn’t look chalky, thick, or mask like.

It ends up looking like skin not like a thick layer of makeup applied to your face. -I have combination skin that’s very easily dried out and then gets flaky and oily, I bought a dewy setting spray from Walgreens to give this a nice satin finish.

If your skin is normal you will probably get the satin finish from this alone. Ten years ago I tried the bare minerals powder and a tube lipstick that was shown. I did not care for the lipstick, it went on with an uneven texture, didn’t have a nice finish, and didn’t wear well.

The powder foundation was much too yellow and didn’t look nice on my combination skin that’s often much to dry for anything other than a cream. You guys have really stepped it up with bare pro and the mineral liquid lipstick! Blown away by the color selection you offer that includes everyone.

It is so frustrating when a brand does not even make a color that works for you. I am fair and cool, there’s a lack of these shades in the market. The shade shell matched perfect.

Let me start off with saying that I am a huge KVD makeup fan. I loved the formulas for the liquid lipstick, the regular lipstick bullets, the highlight palettes and the eyeshadow palettes. However, I have HATED this foundation and everything about it.

I just recently got another bottle in hopes of the formula being better due to the company reinventing itself after being bought out from Kat Von D. However I see that the formula has remained the same drying mess it’s always been.

I have normal skin with dry spots. Not only is this foundation NOT actually full coverage unless you REALLY build it up, but it clings to your dry spots and dries up any other spot that’s not dry. You can see in the pictures that my entire face looks dry and flakey.

This was applied after moisturizing AND using a primer. I’m not a newbie to makeup, so it’s not poor application, it’s a poor formula. On top of that, this is my third shade of this foundation because these shades OXIDIZE SO MUCH!!! I’ve tried applying this with the special KVD brand foundation brush, a blender sponge, other foundation brushes, my hands, even a stippling brush.

I’ve tried it all. Every single time, my face dries out, the foundation looks beyond cakey and settles in any lines that you may have on your face, it just looks VERY VERY bad. I wouldn’t recommend this foundation in its current formula to a person I despised, because it’s just horrible.

I sent a pic to a friend tonight to show her what happens after application and she said I should run a test to see how true my friends are and wear this foundation to a get-together and see who says something about it.

I truly don’t understand how this foundation can have such great reviews by people unless you have THE oiliest skin possible in which case this would help dry all that up. I truly hope they reformulate or something because like I said, I have loved most of the KVD beauty products, but this is something else.

Let me start of by saying that I have struggled for a long time to find a foundation that I like. Most foundations make me start to feel sick after a few hours of wearing them and I hate strong perfume smelling ones like huda beauty.

This one has been amazing for my combination skin. It is full coverage but if I want it a bit thinner mix it with some primer and moisturizer to make the pigmentation go further. It doesn’t have a strong smell if even one at all the only thing it smells like to me is maybe a powder.

I was debatable about it at first because it seemed to drying but then I realized that was my fault for taking awful care of my skin. It doesn’t separate with any of the powders I use on top of it. I even used it for my wedding which was not to long ago.

I would love to get the entire collection and use it on my clients because it is very versatile and I have not had any problems with oxidization or flashback. 10/10 foundation.

Finding a foundation light enough for my skin had seemed like a pipe dream most of my life. Finding one that didn’t turn me yellow or separate after just a couple hours of wear as well impossible. Thanks to a truly wonderful Christmas sale at sephora I decided to buy it and see if the hype was real.

Yes it is. This is quite literally the only liquid foundation I’ll use now. You only need a little to get full coverage. It’s a smooth matte formula that doesn’t sink immediately into every little crevice and line.

It’s lightweight and doesn’t clog the pores. What’s truly amazing though, is that it can actually stay perfect (with the help of setting powder) all day and all night. My makeup held up during travel to get to a concert, the actual show, the after party, the drive back home and still hadn’t budged.

Definitely recommend.

I usually love ColorScience, they’ve been reliable and high quality. I’ve tried and loved most of their products. Unfortunately, this was cakey, made my pores look huge, and make my skin look flakey.

The sun protection was fine, but it’s otherwise a terrible product. Side note, the fact that Dermstore won’t let me return it despite if being within a week of my order and the product is hardly used is ridiculous.

Every other skincare/makeup store has a much better return or exchange policy. I feel ripped off big time.

I have oily dark skin so it’s hard to find spf products that looks good and I love this foundation so much. It replaced my liquid foundation because it looks so skin-like, has good coverage, and doesn’t leave me greasy or caky or dry.

I love the added spf. I’d say my shade is close to Kelly Rowland and “deep mocha” is a match (slightly too dark so I plan on buying the shade “tan golden” to mix on top). It makes it easy to reapply sunscreen throughout the day without messing up my makeup and I’m already on my third container.

Please never stop making this. I do wish there was more shades but I’m so happy with this product I can’t complain.

Felt very smooth when I swatched it, but ended up very cakey on my face. It didn’t not blend out very well and felt and looked very heavy. I appreciated the sun protection, which is why I kept trying to use it, but ultimately it made my skin look really bad.

Didn’t really help with shininess throughout the day. I also noticed it started to get hardpan. Eventually I had to toss it as I really never wanted to reach for it. I did think the packaging was very pretty and compact, and my color was spot on: medium bisque for my medium/light tan skin.

I had borrowed this product from someone I know and totally loved it. It was easy to apply and made my skin have a kinda glow. I decided to splurge and buy some for myself. I went to an Ulta and spent a lot of my makeup savings on this product.

It was amazing at first. It covered up all of my blemishes and matched my skin tone pretty well. However, after the first week or so of use, I noticed that my before tiny pimples were spreading and getting larger.

I had heard that this product doesn’t clog pores so I kept on using it. My pimples were getting worse and I got a lot of white heads on my forehead. I went to using my tinted moisturizer and stopped using this.

The rate at which my pimples were growing and spreading slowed dramatically. I tried to keep my hopes up and was telling myself that it couldn’t be the Dermablend. So about a month after I switched I used it again.

After just one application my pimples were looking really red and worse than they did that morning. Sadly, it is to late for me to return this. I won’t say if I do or don’t recommend it because you might really like this product it just depends on your skin.

Just a word of warning if you are prone to breakouts because I’m still trying to treat my pimples from like two months ago.

I’m 24 YO and I struggled badly with acne in my teen years- and my approach to skincare was doing more harm than good. This means my skin has gone from being severely scarred & textured with enlarged pores, to slowly healing over time; resulting in a much smoother and more supple base.

Upon first impression, this product was my worst nightmare- cakey, thick, and it clumped into my enlarged pores BADLY. I tried a variety of skin prep techniques before giving in to the idea that my skin just may have been TOO textured for a product with this consistency.

It looked great on *parts* of my face, and is buildable from a more light-medium coverage into full (which I appreciate). NOW, months later, I’m back after wearing it all day to say this: IF YOU SUFFER FROM SEVERE TEXTURE, this product MAY not work for you! It is sitting well now, but my skin’s texture has *noticeably* changed since the last (dozen or so times) I tried to wear it.

It’s a great product but $40 is too much to be unable to use.

I’m a sunless tanner and it’s been a true struggle to find a #legitfullcoverage foundation to ensure my face and hands match my body (due to hand washing and exfoliation) and doesn’t end up looking splotchy as the day goes by – until now! I found #Dermablend to be the #realdeal – It is highly pigmented as it was originally formulated for folks with vitiligo in mind.

This cream has true ability to provide absolute and undeniable full coverage, is a fantastic bang for buck spent, comes in variety of shade options, seamlessly blends last but not least, has legit longevity.

All of the boxes were checked for me. Dermablend products are my new ride or die! COLLAGE: pics show Dermablend Cover Creme in shade 60N (cafe brown). Comes with a little scraper tool. Hand pics show the blend of coverage from full to sheer as needed.

PIGMENTATION: A little goes a long way, even if using for full coverage. I used half the amount shown on the scraper and spread it for coverage on the entire front of my hand. BLENDING: Blending is a dream, likely due this being a cream.

As shown in pics, the shade is significantly darker than my hand but I was able to blend it in to my hand and it covered all uneven tones in my tan skin seamlessly by just spreading it in circular motions using my fingers.

LONGEVITY: This alone will stay on my normal skin from morning until night when I remove my makeup. It not only stays in place but looks exactly as good in the pm as it does in the am. INGREDIENTS: The label mentions it is free of Parabens, Phthalates, Triclosan, Sodium lauryl sulfate (sls).

I am still gaining a proper understanding of ingredient listings so I included a picture of the ingredient list in case it would help in the interim. I will include my thoughts from the ingredient list on this and other reviews once I am more knowledgeable can properly provide educated feedback in that regard.

OVERALL: I loved this so much that I also purchased several other Dermablend products including primer, liquid foundation, loose powder, and setting spray. I anticipate using this cream as my regular foundation when I’m on top of my sunless tanning, as a contour when I’m not as dark toned (being lazy with self-tan regime), to even out patchy skin on neck, arms, hands.

I highly recommend this product and will WITHOUT doubt be purchasing more when I run out in the future. #rideordie #truefullcoverage #evenskintone #vitiligo #sunlesstan #fulltosheercoverage #holygrail #extremepigmentation #ParabenFree #Phthalatefree #Triclosanfree #Sodiumlaurylsulfatefree #slsfree.

I used this when spending the night at my sister’s house. I normally don’t buy this brand but I thought I would give it a go because I like trying and experimenting with new makeup to see if I like it.

I like the fact that it didn’t have any noticeable scent and didn’t seem oily or irritating to my skin. It matched my skin tone well. I do think it emphasized my pores a little but I did not have a primer on, so primer may help with that a little.

Also, all skin has texture so pores will always be visible anyway! It did seem to make my makeup last most of the day except for around my nose, which is where I usually have issues with makeup staying anyway because of allergies.

Overall, I think its a nice drugstore brand with a nice medium coverage. I probably wouldn’t necessarily purchase it but I think its a good option.

I bought this simply because it said it was water and sweat proof and I needed sweat proof concealer for when I was at work or school. When I first got it I set it with setting powder, don’t remember the brand I had then.

It was all good up until I stayed to sweat and it started to clump up on my forehead, eye bags, cheeks. It was a nightmare. Then I gave it one more shot without setting powder, just premier and the foundation and I have to say it worked quite well without the powder.

I would recommend this for anyone with normal/slightly oily skin because this stuff blends nicely.

Love this foundation! Not only is it oil free and has an SPF20, the coverage and wear is amazing. I have very oily skin and I can’t believe how well it stays on my face. I haven’t had any issues with breakouts.

I do usually blot during the day but, with this foundation, I don’t have to reapply. It’s not really sheer. it gives good coverage but it’s by no means heavy either. Definitely need to remove it with your normal face cleanser as it doesn’t come off easily with regular soap and water.

Very impressed and highly recommend!.

I was running out of my bottle of “Water Blend” — the prior (now discontinued) version of this. I ordered Water Tone because it’s the only MUFE product that doesn’t contain silicones. Silicones clog pores and lead to closed comedones for me (and a lot of other people) so I avoid them in all skincare products.

I absolutely LOVED the old Water Blend. It was sheer but buildable, moisturizing, and really workable. So I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, Water Tone on the other hand is drying and pills over a lot of the moisturizers that I previously had no problems with (all water based as well, since mixing a water-based foundation with silicone or oil based products is a no-no).

It also dries SO QUICKLY. You cannot work with this stuff because of how quickly it dries and becomes unblendable. I end up having to work across small sections of my face, and even then I get uneven streakiness that pills when I try to blend it in 🙁 Also the perfume/fragrance in this stuff is WAY too overpowering.

Smells like a grandmother’s sofa. There’s no need for my foundation to smell this strongly, and I imagine it will be a problem for people with sensitive skin. The old Water Blend didn’t have any fragrance.

This new Water Tone also oxidizes a lot, so buyer beware, what you see in the container won’t be the final result on your face. Y325 Flesh is a perfect match for my skintone, so I bought the same shade I usually do.

It looks a lot lighter than my container of the same shade in Water Blend, so I was worried, but it ended up darkening quite a bit after 5-10 minutes on my face and eventually becoming the shade I was expecting.

The things I did like about this: Nice matte finish, no need for powder over top (with Water Blend I always needed a powder over top since it tended to be a bit “wet” looking). Good coverage for a sheer foundation.

Doesn’t feel heavy, you don’t feel like you’re wearing makeup. Good staying power. Please please please MUFE consider bringing back the old formulation of Water Blend! It was so wonderful!.

So this is really a tint. If you have blemishes/pores/pigmentation to cover, this isn’t for you. If you have near-to-perfect skin, this might be for you. I had trouble trying to blend this in without streakes.

They recommend the blender but that seemed to give the face a ‘textured’ look, not ideal for water tints. You want this gliding on like water, for a fresh look. Using a brush is better, but the brush then absorbs A LOT of product.

This just doesnt feel right. It’s as if someone mixed foundation into tonnes of water etc Their other water foundation (older range) is a better bet.

Very sheer. I smooth and press it in with fingers. Do the dry down while I apply my mascara, which really lets the color and formula adjust. Skin shows through only better. The most natural finish. I cannot quit my MUFE itinerations of the old Face & Body as the color is always perfect.

I am Y305. In my experience, the last two formulations are less “plastic” looking when perspiring/oil breakthrough. As always, heavy perspiration will make it difficult, but that is to be expected. Adding that I use the new HD Skin to touch up my nose and chin and sheer it out.

Fall in love with this foundation, it feels like no foundation on my skin, but covers perfectly what needs to be covered and gives youthful look of my skin. The best I’ve tried for sure. Thanks

Wow this foundation is AMAZING. I waited for a while for it to come back in stock and it was well worth the wait!
