20 Best Waterproof Full Coverage Foundation (2023 Updated)

This is a long review, so TLDR: great for my dry skin, can build up to double as concealer, natural matte but also a softly luminous finish as it settles, looks good sheer or applied for heavy coverage.

Can collect around creases in the heat if not set, also transfers. Gosh I love this foundation, it is SO wonderful and has been an absolute god-send. For context, I have dry skin with a history of atopic dermatitis.

Because of this, I have creases under my eyes due to long term inflammation. I do get very sweaty throughout the day because the temp runs about 110-120 in the summer. I’ve always had a hard time finding foundation or concealer that doesn’t crease, melt, or make me look like a crypt keeper.

Also nearing 30 so things just don’t look the same as they used to. I tried this on a whim. I have tried probably 30 foundations in the last five-ish years, including popular favorites such as Koh Gen Do, ALL the nars variations, Bobbi Brown Skin, EL sheer double wear, TF born this way, rare, you get the picture.

I was contemplating trying westman atelier but I couldn’t justify the price per ounce. So, skeptical but optimistic, I bought this. I figured it would be a return because the bad reviews sounded to cause problems I always experience.

I’m happy to say I was wrong. Why I love this: I can make this as sheer as I want, or full coverage depending on how much I apply. If I want sheer, I place about one 2ish inch line on each section of my face – cheek, chin, forehead, nose, and blend with the Merit no 1 brush.

If my skin is angry and broken out, I apply as before and blend with a sponge, then continue to layer as needed. With whichever level of coverage, the result is always natural matte coverage but also with a soft luminosity to the finish.

I also use this under my eyes as concealer because it’s quite emollient. Concealer has always been my sworn enemy because it’s always caked, creased, or dried my under eyes. This is emollient enough to apply with my finger warmed up and patted in.

It looks great, and even on my worst skin days I get compliments. My husband, who thinks mascara is a lip product, even notices how fresh my face looks. The not great: I wish I stood up a bit better in the heat.

Granted, I live in a desert with extreme temperatures and elevated humidity during the summer so I can’t expect miracles. If I don’t set with powder, it collects around my chin and nose. If I set with either the HG or fenty powder, it stays put pretty well.

I’m not mad about it, but if I were to change one thing it would be that. Additionally, it does transfer so be aware if that bothers you. All that being said, I can consider this my holy grail. I’m Mac NC15 and porcelain matches great (definitely leans yellow).

So it’s funny because I’ve used this for years and still nothing has replaced this as my favorite foundation. But it always gets mediocre reviews. Let me give my take on this: so one thing to make sure you keep in mind is, you get this foundation for the beautiful finish, not for long wear.

It has the most beautiful finish of any foundation I’ve ever tried. My makeup days are noticeably different! My skin just looks SO much different! Like I said I wouldn’t consider this long wearing. However, this formula is nice because even as it wears, if it does start to wear off, it does so gracefully.

It’s easy to retouch if needed. I typically don’t need to when it’s combined with the right primer. I have normal to dry skin, so when my skin is more dry or it’s not Fl summer, I use the milk hydrogrip primer.

Just like any grip primer, let dry all the way first. Then I used a wet BB, not a brush, to apply foundation. Looks way better with a BB. During the humid days or if my skin isn’t dry, I use the hourglass veil primer.

That is also an OG product for me. It keeps a fresh look on your face without letting you get oily, but it does not dry you out. I think it takes just a touch away from the glowy finish though. So if you prefer more matte, use it with the hourglass veil primer.

With this primer you could use a BB or a brush. Brush may be easier here but I personally always think the Beauty Blender gives a more flawless finish. Just deposit a lot on the palm of your clean hand (not the back- too dry/cold) and stamp from hand to face.

If you need a translucent powder I also recommend using the hourglass one because it’s so lightweight and it does JUST enough. (Another OG product) I have normal to dry by I use this powder because it gives me a great canvas for putting on bronzer after.

Long story short, before knocking this, make sure the rest of your routine is solid! Skincare too. This foundation stick continues to be a holy grail product that nothing has been able to replace yet!.

I saw some of the negative reviews and wanted to weigh in. I LOVE this foundation. I have combination and sensitive skin. I use their veil primer before applying (which is my favorite primer for a plethora of different reason) and it creates a very nice base that makes applying the foundation easy as cake.

You do not need a lot of product as it is a bit tacky & blends out easily (I use their recommended foundation brush for this but any compact brush will do the trick); it’s definitely buildable but I think less is more for this foundation.

It gives you a very natural finish & covers redness well. If you have dry skin, this may not be for you -I definitely use it less in the winter time when my skin is dry. If you have a bit more peach fuzz, this may not be the best product for you.

Like I said, it’s somewhat tacky so it sticks to whatever you’re applying it to -blending is key (please note, it feels very natural on and isn’t actually sticky or anything like that). There’s no such thing as a universal foundation and I do bounce back and forth depending on seasons, current skin issues, activities…etc.

However, this is my go-to spring/summer/fall daytime and evening foundation and I love it. I do use a setting spray so I’ve never experienced issues with this not lasting/rubbing off (and I party so that says a lot).

Hope this helps!!.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I thought it could help others with rosacea. The color matching was a little off but with the help of their great customer service I was able to return the wrong color and ultimately purchase color #180.

I’ve had rosacea for almost 15 years and have struggled with flare ups every few weeks. As I’ve gotten older, my skin tone has become extremely uneven due to the redness brought on by rosacea. I’ve tried so many different foundations over the years which only ended in disappointment.

I have combination skin, so I was concerned about using a matte foundation. I’ve been using the Fenty matte foundation for a few weeks and it has been working great for me. A little goes a long way and it blends really well.

My face tends to get beet red in the heat or when wearing a mask and this foundation does a great job of diminishing the appearance of the redness. It basically looks like I’m wearing a little blush.

I haven’t had any breakouts, my skin doesn’t look like I have a slick of grease at the end of the day, and its buildable so I can use more on days with flare ups. Because it is a matte foundation, it does settle on my nose and looks cakey but that’s mainly because of how bad my rosacea is there.

Before I apply the foundation, I apply Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel moisturizer, then Elta MD clear SPF, and lastly the Tatcha Silk Canvas primer. This combination seems to help with some of the settling that happens on the dryer spots like my nose.

Overall, I am happy with this product and does what I bought for which is conceal the redness in my face.

I have normal to dry skin, with prescription retinol treatment and use acids judiciously, so my skin can be pretty sensitive and variably dry/flakey, and to top it off I’ve got fine lines products looove to settle in and moderately large pores.

Yay aging skin! I also live in a moderately dry climate. I don’t have a lot of time in the AM and I like natural makeup – like in-person natural, can’t really tell if someone is wearing foundation. I’ve used this over solidly moisturized skin and a silicone-based invisible spf with excellent results!! The mattifying really helps blur my pores.

I’ve used the supplied sponge and a medium density foundation brush and get light coverage – enough to balance redness and even help with the severe blue undereyes I have genetically. Over a medium coverage concealer treated as a true foundation it works FABULOUSLY, and I used it very lightly to just tone down my overly-dewy spf with just a neutral blush and some mascara for a quick errand run also with excellent results.

I haven’t played around with upping the coverage, but regardless of the actual maximum coverage it is exceedingly flexible. I have found it just a touch drying around my eyes/undereyes when I played around with covering the undereye bags – better eye moisturizer or a mid-day facial mist would probably fix that.

It can settle a bit into my lines, though literally everything I use does that and it could be partly the spf (yes I use the CT setting spray too). Hasn’t broken me out with a week of use, though I’m not prone to breakouts.

This is by far my favourite Fenty product I have tried. So far everything I have tried from the brand seems to be meant for oily skin. This foundation was a pleasant surprise though ! It’s not drying at all.

It is medium to full coverage as it says. A lot more coverage then the stick foundation. It is weightless on the skin, literally feels like nothing is on my face. Love the feeling. It’s not super hydrating that combination skin couldn’t wear it.

But does not cause dry skin patches or stick to dry skin making them stand out more. It’s very natural looking, not matte but not a dewy finish, blends very well into the skin. There is minimal transfer throughout the day.

Now for people who are finding it creases or make bigger pores stand out I find a smoothing primer works best, makes it not crease and covers large pores beautifully. I have had no problem with the under eye area creasing but I do use an under eye concealer and don’t put too much foundation in that area.

It applies best with a sponge but does do well with a brush but the overall looks better with a beauty blender. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the shades do run a bit darker and the yellow and golden undertone shades have a little orange tone to them.

Manageable though I just use it when I’m darker with my self tanner. And the orange I can counter balance with a lighter coloured concealer. Overall I definitely suggest giving this a try if you are on the dryer side, just if you’re between colours go with the lighter shade.

This foundation has been my go-to for so long that I would never have believed I could ever give it a 3 star rating. It is a holy grail for so many women, so how could that be possible? Studio Fix has such a great formula and an even, medium coverage.

It applies very easily with a brush, sponge or fingers and gives a matte, but not too matte, finish, covering imperfections without looking cakey. I have never found it patchy or liable to stick to dry areas or in fine lines as other matte foundations have done.

It even provides a certain amount of skin care with an SPF 15 – nice to have this additional level of protection before we head out in the sun. And in terms of shade range MAC foundations, especially this one, have always knocked it out of the park with literally dozens of shades compared to other brands.

With all this going for it what could be wrong? Unfortunately with my last few purchases Studio Fix has more recently started to oxidize in the bottle even when it is well in date. It comes out several shades darker with an orange tinge, even though I am using my usual shade (NW20) and my skin colour has not changed.

I have no idea why this has happened and assume they must have slightly changed the formula. Which leads to the second problem – the formula does have a strong chemical smell, almost like strong coffee.

As this has been my favourite I have persevered and tried everything to make it work and look lighter – blending it out thoroughly, using a setting powder, even mixing it with moisturiser. These things have made it more wearable but in the end it has just become too much hard work for such a basic make-up step – so sadly I have said goodbye to my former foundation and moved on.

The foundation has a creamy consistency, quite similar to the Double Wear from Estée Lauder although its finish is completely different. The packaging doesn’t come with a pump and honestly I thought that that was a plus, because I like to apply very small amount on each layer and I’m not sure I would be able to control the amount that we’ll with a pump.

The smell of the foundation is quite funny. It smells almost like paint. The smell goes away after the foundation is set. The coverage of this foundation is medium to full, but you can easily make it into a sheer coverage as well.

It all depends on how much you apply and how many layers. I have lots of blemishes and some texture/enlarged pores and I find this foundation to not accentuate any of it. It blends well on the skin and gives me a really beautiful natural matte finish.

It doesn’t transfer after it dries. I like to pair it with the Strobe Cream in Pinklite and the finish gets slightly more luminous and natural but not greasy. I apply one very thin layer of the foundation with a brush and then I reapply it only on my problem areas where I have more hyperpigmentation and it covers everything without looking heavy.

I have to mention that this foundation looks beautiful in person but even better on pictures/videos. I love this foundation and I highly recommend it! It’s one of my go to foundation of the moment. I received this product as a gift from Mac Cosmetics.

I bought this Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation on sale at Ulta a few months ago and have been using it ever since… Let me start with the pros. This powder foundation does in fact immediately reduce the appearance of pores.

It’s my favorite thing about it. It’s a fine milled pressed powder, so I usually apply it with a dense foundation brush and it gives me the perfect airbrushed finish to my face. I would say it can be anywhere from light to full coverage depending on how you build it up.

It also doesn’t clog your pores or cause any acne, which is a definite plus. However,… My biggest gripe with this powder foundation is that it oxidizes visibly. The color I chose is a perfect match when I first apply it, but it starts to lean yellow and become darker within the first 2 hours.

Keep this in mind when choosing a shade! Also, if you don’t prep your skin properly, this foundation will look very cakey. It won’t show up well in photos at all! Lastly, while it does temporarily control oil and shine, this only lasts for roughly 5 hours.

While this product has the beginnings to be a favorite on my vanity, the cons are enough to make me hesitate before buying again. If I could figure out the perfect color for my skin without it changing up on me, I would be willing to overlook the other cons and purchase it again for sure.

After I saw all of the positive reviews online and YouTube from my favorite beauty gurus, I decided to try this foundation for myself. This formula is very similar to the L’Oréal Infallible Pro Matte foundation but a little bit less coverage.

I applied this after using the L’Oréal Infallible Pro Matte Lock primer and then set it with my Laura Mercier translucent setting powder. After wear this foundation for about 10 hours my face looked slightly dewy but not too oily compared to the way it looked when I first applied it.

It didn’t transfer very much onto my mask and I only needed to use my oil blotting papers twice throughout the day. The formula reminds me a lot of my Too Faced Born This Way foundation (original formula) and blends in perfectly with my skin tone.

If you wear the shade Warm Beige in the Too Faced foundation I recommend you choose the shade Sun Beige in this foundation. This L’Oréal foundation does contain a mild, pleasant floral fragrance so if you have very sensitive skin or are sensitive to smells, this maybe a drawback for you.

I recommend this foundation for those looking for a natural finish that is long lasting especially during the summertime while wearing a mask. I will definitely repurchase this again in the future.

I have really pale skin with a cool undertone so find it really hard to find a good mid priced foundation. I bought the shade porcelain, which I think is the lightest one. At first glance it looked a good match in the bottle but it oxidized within seconds to quite a few shades darker than my skin tone and in my opinion looked orange, in fact I’ve never seen a product do this so quickly.

First time I used it I forgot primer and even though it’s a lighter formula it looked very drying on the skin, that was within a few minutes while I was applying it, however on top of a primer it worked a lot better and went on nicely.

The formula is fine, the coverage is good and buildable, in terms of wear, definitely not 32 hours for my skin type! I have an oily t-zone and within a few hours it started to break down and I was getting shiny, that was using a primer, powder and a setting spray on top too, if you touched up with a bit of powder it would probably last a lot longer.

It did oxidized further through out the day though! Yikes. For me, I’m not impressed, if you have pale skin, Don’t bother. I do think on the whole it’s a decent foundation compared to other supermarket or drugstore foundations in that price range, the oxidisation and colour change on my skin tone means I won’t be buying again though.

I use the shade Golden beige for my yellow toned light tan skin and it’s perfect. I have extremely greasy and oily skin yet it is very dehydrated and prone to flakiness if I don’t moisturise, this helps oil control but isn’t the type of matte that dries the skin and leaves it patchy.

I’ve tried so many foundations and I’ve never been more impressed than I have with this, it leaves my skin feeling so soft almost like it’s skincare, the coverage is fantastic although you may have to layer if you have very deep hyperpigmentation.

it’s not cakey and the longer you have it I feel the better the formula becomes because at first it’s very thin but after having it for 3 months it became a little thicker and better coverage somehow! So if you have dehydrated and oily acne sensitive prone skin (everything under the sun breaks me out yet this doesn’t) then this is the foundation for you.

It doesn’t clog my pores and that’s surprising considering a tiny glob of moisturiser can give me blackheads yet leaving this on my face for hours doesn’t do anything. highly recommend.

When I tell you I am obsessed with foundation, I am not exaggerating. I’ve tried so many, high end and drugstore. My last holy grail was Nars Radiant Long Wear in Punjab. The one thing I noticed was that I could use a little and get full coverage, it always felt like it just would sit on top of my skin.

I have never considered Bobbi Brown before, not sure why, but I found a good match W-046, for light medium skin with yellow undertones. The finish is beautiful! I use Elf Jelly pop primer first. I then first tried to apply it with a brush, it didn’t look good.

I then tried a sponge, as that is what I use with my Nars. That took away the coverage. So, I tried my fingers, and that was the trick! I apply with my hands then I build up with a dry beauty blender by tapping/stippling it on my skin.

It’s medium coverage and builds to full. It takes a little bit for it to dry down, but not where it feels like it’s sitting on your skin. I use Bare Minerals compact mineral veil setting powder in Medium Sheer over it.

It wears long for me, didn’t look like it was that dry matte look, it was natural matt, but still radiant, but not dewy. This feels just like skin, for the coverage I get, I can’t believe it feels so light.

It’s a creamy foundation too, not watery. I didn’t look dull in it, it didn’t settle into lines, or exaggerate pores. I purposely avoid the luminous face products because it seem to exaggerate my texture, which is very light acne scaring.

This foundation does a great job at not drawing attention to it, I mostly have scaring on one cheek. I absolutely recommend this to everyone with a similar skin type as mine.

I’m 27 with good skin but with some visible exhaustion and medium (unfortunately visible) pores. Ive used Chanel foundations since I was in high school, then recently switched to Nars when my working mom exhaustion made my skin look a bit dull.

It didn’t help the issue at all. I finally found my match when I switched to Bobbi brown. I’d already used their priming moisturizer and lip gloss, and was pleased to see that I love the foundation just as much (if not more) than my fave Bobbi products.

My skin looks instantly youthful and brilliant – I’m also quite happy with the color spectrum they offer! If anyone were to ever drop the bottle, then post a repulsive photo of themselves bleeding from it, my recommendation would be to take better care of your products.

The glass bottle only adds to the awesome experience of this product, as long as you aren’t sloppy with it or trying to play catch with it. I can’t imagine why anyone would ever purchase a product for their face that comes out of a plastic bottle, but that’s just me! 10/10 would recommend! I think I’ve found the perfect foundation.

I have always struggled finding a good matte foundation becuz I’ve always been VERYYY oily my whole life but this is the one. I’ve never had a foundation match my skin tone so naturally. The foundation rlly stops me from having my face rlly oily (I’m very VERY oily).

What I love about it is that it rlly stops me from being oily for a long time, I wear it to work (8 hours) and by the end of those eight hours my face is still a TINY bit oily but this is the best foundation becuz other foundations (fenty/ urban decay/Clinique) have always gave me leaving work with a very oily face.

And did I mention it’s very light weight…. Like VERY. Out of all the foundations/tints I’ve ever worn…. this is the lightest. (I’ve worn foundation for almost 10 years now) I also struggle with acne and pimple scars and it doesn’t have full FULL coverage but it is very buildable.

And I love how it has spf so that it also helps with the acne scars. Honestly my new go-to foundation for a long time. It’s light, somewhat full coverage, matte and matte FOR REAL and the finishing looks very VERY natural.

I really hopes this helps my peeps struggling with oily face or acne scar ppl.

Background: I bought this because I use water based and serum foundations because the certain silicones break me out. I used to use MAC Waterweight but I wanted to try a cheaper one and see if it was good.

(Tip: Mac Waterweight is exactly the same as Smashbox BB water, which is what I was using before but the MAC is cheaper by a few dollars and the Smashbox was D/c) Comparison: I was looking at L’Oreal Infallible foundation as that is also water based, but it looked like it settled into lines in a swatch more than this did, and that one felt sticky and didn’t dry down.

This one is thicker. The bottles were all clogged or empty at Ulta in the testers and the tops don’t come off which is a negative. The shade range is good. I tried to comparable it to the Nyx Total Control Drops, but I feel those may be slightly lighter for the same name, but I still went with the same name in the Can’t Stop Won’t Stop that matched me in the Drops (vanilla), as the next ones were too orange or greenish.

The Drops were closer to my MAC in texture, but they are the same price as this for less than half the amount, and price per ounce is actually expensive. Plus I wanted to try to see if a different formula was better.

Application and finish: It’s slightly light but blends in well. It is not full coverage. I don’t think using a damp blender works with these kinds of water based foundations. It tends to break it apart with a sponge unless maybe a lot more product is used and I don’t like to apply that much.

I don’t like the look and feel of too much foundation and find it wasteful. Application is key!! I always like the way these foundations look applied with my fingers better and often that is recommended with these types anyway.

It doesn’t do well over certain silicone primers. It has a natural skin like finish, slightly matte, at least compared to the very wet serum foundations. I appreciate that this dries down even without powder because those other kinds often do not and they melt easily and transfer.

So far, for a water based foundation I think it’s pretty good. No breakouts and there are pros above my previous foundations. The MAC has great ingredients and nice coloring, but it moves A LOT and too much powder on top makes it look cakey.

I feel that the MAC is better for the skin but I’m happy with this so far especially because it stays put.

honestly i had high hopes for this foundation because nyx usually has great products. i have really oily skin, literally after half an hour my face starts to get really oily even if i stay indoors. although, i do have dry eyelids which is weird, i still don’t consider my skin as combination tho.

anyways, the foundation was a little pricey for drugstore, i got it for $16 ($17 with tax) at CVS. the shade range is okay. i got vanilla for my warm tone and when i applied the foundation it was so mf hard to blend.

it kept clinging onto my dry patches which i didn’t even know i have. it looks very patchy and cakey as i kept trying to blend with a damp beauty blender. it was like a horror movie seeing it on my eyelids.

like the amount of flakey skin it creates…. ok but the finish was okay tho. it is matte which is good butttt i wore it thoughout the day in the summer heat with a mask on and after like 4 hours, it started to crease really bad and created a line around my mouth area.

(also not mask friendly, smudges) it dried up real bad under my eyes and it started melting off so my face looked very cakey and uneven tone. even my mom shamed my makeup💀💀 it was so noticeable and she told me to never wear makeup ever again so THATS FUN.

the only good thing is that this foundation didnt oxidize but that doesn’t excuse the horror it did to my face. i’ll probably be returning this idk.

Ever have a product in your collection you use because you’re satisfied just enough to be able to justify using it – but, in use of it you are purposely conserving your holy grails? This is one of those products for me.

I generally use this product when I’m running errands as this an easy foundation to work with, and it’s an affordable option. I find that I do have to prime more thoroughly and ensure my face is extra moisturized while using this product, as it tends to cling and intensify attention towards any patch of dryness.

This foundation is very buildable and blendable, so you can easily achieve the coverage you’re looking for. As mentioned above in regards to dryness, this foundation can also be drying on your skin so if you have dry skin and aren’t going to prepare for application, I wouldn’t recommend.

One of the things that gravitated me towards this line of foundation was the shade range; at the time, it was rare for a drugstore brand to have a broad range for their consumers. I really respected NYX for doing that.

This is a decent foundation. Is it my favorite? No. Is it one of the best formulas I’ve tried? No. But, I get a lot of use out of this and enjoy the results well enough to continue using during my normal day to day activities.

A solid 3. 5/5.

This is my absolute favorite foundation. I have dry sensitive skin that doesn’t work well with other foundations. I found that if you wash and moisturizer your skin and use their hydro touch primer (which is also my favorite primer) that it is long lasting and very blend-able.

I love how it looks! I have used this with both cream and powder blushes and bronzers. A little goes a long way, it is medium to full coverage. I have a redish pink undertone and found that color correcting works the best.

I bought both the fair and the alabaster shades and the fair was too light. I also found that using a damp beauty blender works best. I absolutely love this foundation!.

I’m a 45 year old, Native American/Irish woman with incredibly oily skin and THIS is my holy grail foundation! I have worn makeup since my teens and have struggled to find a shade for thirty years. I have tried expensive foundations, powder foundations, cheap foundations and can never get the right shade, until now and it is a perfect match.

My skin is also horribly oily and most foundations shift, separate and now with being 45 settle in my fine lines, until now. I wore my Can’t Stop yesterday (moisturize, primer, foundation, powder setting spray) for 9 hours and never had to powder or use blotting tissues.

I have significant frown lines and it never settled into my creases. When applying less is more and work in small areas because it dries fast. I am beyond impressed and thankful for this miracle in a bottle!.

I got a foundation sampler from Sephora and have been test driving foundations looking for the right color and a good formula. I have combo skin and I’m in my early 40’s. I need something with full coverage and can conquer oil.

After moisturizing, I applied this formula both with and without primer and had pleasant results all around. This is a great consistency, the pump doles out a faceful, and I applied it with a short kabuki brush.

At first I was not impressed but I let it set for a few minutes and wow. Pretty much the dream product that I was looking for. I powdered and then applied concealer under my eyes, around my nose and over blemishes.

This produced a flawless surface and a lovely base for contouring, and eye and lip makeup. I’d compare it to the formula in Too Faced Born this Way Foundation, except it was a better fit. I expected, after reading the other reviews, that the formula would feel thick and lock in place.

I did not feel thick and was more malleable than a locked in formula. I had been using Tarte’s Amazonian Clay Foundation and Can’t Stop Won’t Stop beats Tarte all day long. Better coverage, much better staying power and a real skin finish.

I am wildly surprised and will keep this product in my rotation. Love NYX!.

I love a great foundation that sets well and is compatible to my skin color so it look more natural, I also am always looking for a foundation that goes on smoothly such as this one which is fantastic because it is the building base for everything else that I apply to my face as well.

I love this foundation because it blends smoothly and also it stays put for hours on end. Foundation is one of my go to makeup.

I absolutely love dermacol. I would never purchase it from amazon or any online retailer who is not approved directly from the authorized list for obvious reasons- but I’ve never had an issue with authorized versions (specially the one founded in Seattle).

It covers my beauty marks and for that I am forever grateful- as no other product has been able to. Although it does feel heavy, I don’t mind it. If you’re someone who needs full coverage- this product is for you.

It can be a bit pricy but you seriously don’t need that much of this product. I love mixing it with a darker foundation and a bit of jojoaba oil. I find that it mixes well and becomes less thick- yet still stays a full coverage consistency.

Would recommend!.

Okay so I ordered these off amazon (checked reviews etc to make sure it was genuine and I also paid a little bit more for them). I didn’t realise they had such an effed up shade range. Like there is 4 categories: Fair Light Médium Tan Dark So I picked 2 shades.

211 from light range and 218 from tan range. 218 is a decent colour which I quite like. Now 211. How may I describe this colour. It’s toothpaste consistency. Near enough white in colour and with a shocking pink undertone!! Like really!! Put it this way.

Nobody is that shade EVER! Stay away from shade 211. The coverage on the other hand is great. 9/10 for coverage. If you have oily skin I don’t know if you’ll like it. As you look like a slick oil painting after application and until you powder it down.

Lasts decent. Again totally depending on what setting products you use and if you prime etc. Worth £10 I would say!.

Amazing! I fell down at work three days before a big trip and ended up with a HUGE black, not even purple, bruise the size of 3 quarters. I decided to go to Ulta and was recommended the kat von d Apple foundation but I could still see the bruise.

I heard about this and decided to give it a go and WOW did this do the trick. I had bought nyx color corrector and didn’t need to even use that much. I took lots of photos from my trip and you can’t tell whatsoever I had a giant bruise on my chin.

It came out slightly cakey but depending on the setting powder and primer it do-able. I did use the jelly primer sample I was given with this and noticed it worked wonderfully with it instead of my smashbox one.

Ok I don’t frequently write reviews, but for this I had to. First of all, I realize this is a body product but I used it on my face. Ok I broke my nose and because of it one of my eyes went black. Like imagine a boxer with a horrific black eye.

I clearly do not want to walk around like that, and while I’ve never used dermablend before, I knew it was absolutely the fullest coverage I could buy, so I got it. I picked this particular product, again, because it was the fullest coverage in their line.

I’m not gonna lie I’m pretty familiar with how to use different products bc makeup is one of my hobbies, and I’m very patient. to do this probably took 45 minutes. but y’all this COMPLETELY COVERED my eye!!!! I looked totally normal like nobody even knew.

in fact when I took this off (you definitely need an oil based makeup remover, I don’t see Clinique take the day away) I was horrified to see my eye, I totally forgot how bad it looked!!! My tip would be to use a primer, and then stroke on the product, let it sit (your skin warms it up) and then tap it in with your fingers.

and then repeat again and again til whatever is covered. If your issue is not as severe as mine I’m sure it wouldn’t take as long as mine did. Then set it by tapping setting powder on it using a beauty blender.

I own like so many beauty products, and this is the most impressive one I’ve ever seen. Seriously.

I absolutely love this concealer. The caramel is a perfect match for my skin colour. I have bad hereditary under eye circles/sunken eyes and this concealer has excellent coverage for that. I just need a single layer, which I apply and then let set for a minute or two before I blend it out.

Lastly I lightly set it with some translucent powder. I usually have a problem with concealers making my under eyes look super dry and wrinkly (and even worse than they do without makeup)! This concealer is just a dream.

Recently I found out about olive undertones and that I am one. I’m a very pale, cool toned person. The lightest and coolest foundation shades were always too pink, and neutral ones would be too yellow.

So I went on a search for an olive-toned foundation that was also light enough for my skintone. It was a bit of a gamble shade matching online, but when the foundation arrived and I tried it on, I was amazed at how spot on the colour was.

Now, I made some mistakes wearing it the first couple of times. This is not a water-based foundation, so wearing a water-based serum and/or moisturiser or primer underneath is a no-no. Since it is quite hydrating, I would even skip moisturiser, unless you have really dry skin.

But after making this adjustment of not wearing a water-based moisturiser underneath, the foundation lasted all day and only became shiny on the 6th hour of wearing it. It’s easily buildable but a little does go a long way since it’s a high pigment foundation.

Has a nice satin finish, natural looking. The bottle doesn’t have a cap so the top can get a little dirty from the nozzle. Overall, I really like this foundation and I’m happy I can get away with not blending it all the way down to my neck and my face still matching it, they’ve really done it with the shade range.

The very first thing that I noticed about this particular foundation, is that it was made in Italy – and I love Italian-made makeup! Next, upon exploration, I found this shade to be too dark for me. In that case, I had to make a little mixture on a separate palette.

I added a good amount of ‘light foundation shade adjuster drops’ in order to adjust the tone to closer match my skintone. This is definitely a ‘runny, liquidy’ formula (which can be quite messy). Upon application, I obtained a medium/buildable coverage level.

I was still able to see through to my blemishes, but it covered up most of the associated redness. The finish is a very subtle, natural-look. This foundation formula definitely requires setting, as it leaves a slight tack after completely drying down.

It’s a heavier feeling product, as I can definitely tell it’s on my face. This is not my normal go-to type of foundation, but I do actually like it for something a little different.

Best foundation product i have ever used and I will never use any other. Its expensive st first glance but it lasts a very long time a little goes a long way. It covers and evens out skin tone but at the same time allows your skin to be seen, doesn’t transfer onto clothes or mask, stays put all day and night and does it all with just a few drops.

I like to use my fingers to apply. Recently I have been using even less to get an amazing perfect skin look in combination with the tinted moisturizer, and the products all work together seamlessly since they are made to be malleable and blendable.

I have no need for powder or concealer or anything else on my face to make my skin look flawless, fresh, clean glowy and well hydrated. I have noticed that I little light powder in neutral around the t zone may be needed as a pick me up in the later afternoon, but all in all nothing short of magic contemporary product that performs even better than you may have expected.

On another note I have always had a difficult time with foundation colors being too dark for me or ghostly white, but this light tone is absolutely my perfect match and just melts into your skin surface.

Also want to mention that its buildable more coverage if needed but remains equally light even with a few layers added to any trouble spots without looking caked on or dry or oily even though I have classic combination skin that is also highly sensitive to many commercially available products.

I am highly impressed with this product and continue to love it more as I use it more. Truly and honestly worth every penny I paid for it. In the past I would have said its crazy to pay that much for it, but im a true believer in performance and this little bottle is a massive powerhouse.

Nothing else has even come close at even much higher prices. Also look out for sales since they do happen! Honestly you owe this to yourself. Just go buy it already! You will not regret it.

I actually bought this product at Sephora while it was on sale. I didn’t know it at the time but it was on sale for a reason. The texture was very thick not creamy or light at all. The presentation and packaging was very nice.

I have very fair skin so even the color match was pretty on point. But once I put it on, it was almost impossible to blend and it immediately made my poor sensitive, dry skin flare up and patchy. I did prime and hydrate my skin before putting the product on, but it was not use.

It accented everything I didn’t want it to and just left my skin flared, red, more dry than ever, and super cakey. What a disappointment.

I always hated when people said something was their ‘holy grail’ of makeup , but NOW I understand why. I’ve had a love hate relationship with Becca products – at no fault of Becca at all. It was always my crazy skin issues, and to be honest, I hated spending over $40 on makeup AT ALL.

I’d always read about people buying cheap makeup and they still looked gorgeous on their flawless skin and I hated them for it lol. I went through a bout where I decided to spend more money on other products just to see if it was worth the money –I purchased Dior, Makeup Forever, Lancome, Nars, Estee Lauder, and so on and could never get the pretty full coverage look I needed.

All of them started off looking beautiful, but within hours, they would all melt off and I’d look like I just lost a school yard fight — everything melted together and was either a greasy or dry mess with patches.

LONG story short, I decided to give Becca another try because I knew it was always great but needed to prove it to myself first. I dabbed on a few drops and smoothed it out. wow. It was so pretty and hydrating-looking.

My skin looked pretty, natural and even. AND, it’s sweat-proof and wears all day in all weather condition. No more trips back and forth to Ulta and Sephora to try something new. This is my go-to and my “holy grail” :).

I got this product as a gift to try. When I took it out of the box I really enjoyed the packaging and the foundation bottle. The product itself can dry your skin if you don’t properly moisturize and use primer making the foundation look cakey.

My recommendation when using this product is to use a lot of moisturizer and primer. a little goes a long way especially with this full coverage Foundation. I noticed that if I put the regular amount that I would put with any other Foundation it ends up feeling very keiki and heavy on my skin.

Overall I really enjoyed the coverage and how Flawless my skin looks.

The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation, I am pretty pleased with it. I have worn it twice now yesterday and today, yesterday I applied with a brush and today I applied with a damp beauty blender and I 100% prefer the beauty blender method.

Yesterday’s application with the brush after only about 4 hours of wear it was starting to cake around my forehead, my undereye, and and oddly on my cheeks closer back toward my ears and it also looked patchy in spots even though when I first applied it, it looked amazing and was blended perfectly.

I was really disappointed but decided to give it another try before sending it back and what a difference the beauty blender made!! Today it looks absolutely FLAWLESS and smooth, the pictures attached I made sure was 4 hours after application so that I can test properly, and in combination with the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish powder and the Flawless setting spray my makeup has not budged! I am so glad that it ended up looking better with the beauty blender because the foundation itself sits so nicely on the skin, although it is not the lightest foundation I have worn (Nars Natural Radiant Longwear foundation takes that prize in my opinion) it still feels quite nice! I would say this is more toward full coverage but not quite full full coverage (I hope that makes sense) but it is definitely buildable so I am pretty sure that you can achieve the coverage you desire with this foundation! I do have pretty dark circles under my eye and some redness on my cheeks and on my nose and as you can see in the pictures everything is pretty well covered up! Overall I think it is a solid foundation however like I mentioned the application with a brush is a no go and although I do have foundations that I like better this is a solid choice to have in rotation.

The shade that I bought in this one is the 4 Neutral however compared to the Beautiful Skin foundation that I have in the same shade this one almost seems a tad bit darker so if you are kind of an in between shade maybe go lighter instead of darker, you can always darken up a bit with contour and/or bronzer!.

I used the shade 1 Neutral however, it’s not listed for some reason. Anyway, this foundation glides on with ease using a flat head foundation brush. Just one pump will give you medium to full coverage instantly.

I didn’t feel the need for concealer, it was THAT full coverage! I didn’t notice a fragrance however, my nose isn’t particularly sensitive to smells like some others. It dries down to a natural matte finish and I felt no need to set it with a powder.

Other makeup, cream/liquid/powder applies beautifully over it without it being disrupted. I would say to make sure you’re skin is well prepped and hydrated beforeh applying if you have normal-dry skin like I do.

It can start to look a slight bit cakey in some areas, for me it was around my mouth/smile lines but, nothing too drastic. I think this can be easily remedied by making sure you are better moisturized.

It’s obvious you’re wearing foundation, even with the thinnest layer but, not in a horrifically bad way. It feels comfortable, nearly weightless, doesn’t feel like it’s sitting on top of your skin, and does a great job evening out your skintone.

I wouldn’t wear this for a no makeup makeup day since it’s very full coverage however, I’m going to try and mix it with a moisturizer or oil and see if I can’t get it to look more like a my skin but better look, it seems promising and if it works, this foundation will go even further and last even longer since you already need so little for full coverage.

Will update once I’ve experimented more but, for now I agree that it’s a lovely, full coverage foundation and makes your skin look nearly flawless!.

This review is actually for the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation in 1 Cool, this is just what came up when I scanned the box. The color 1 Cool is for very fair skin with cool undertones, and it matched my very fair skin PERFECTLY.

This is hands down the best matching, and the best foundation in general, that I have ever used- and believe me I’ve tried them all. Lately I’ve been using Kat Von D’s Lock-It Foundation, but that has been looking super cakey, obvious, and just plain awful on my skin.

Not this foundation. It actually just enhances what’s already there, like makeup is supposed to. It makes your skin look flawless. I mean FLAWLESS! I couldn’t believe that my complexion looked that good and that this shade matched my skin that well.

I was in total shock. I was used to my foundation sitting on top of my face and looking obvious. Not this foundation. It looks absolutely gorgeous and blends so well. My pores and wrinkles were all suddenly gone, and I had been having such a rough time with them being visible, especially around my nose area.

I used a wet beauty blender to apply it, and believe me a little bit goes a long way. This foundation was weightless on my skin, which was wonderful compared to the last foundation I was using which felt like I was wearing a mask.

It feels very cool when you apply it to your skin, which was a neat sensation, and it also has a slight fragrance to it. My skin can tend to be sensitive and the fragrance didn’t bother my skin at all.

It lasted me all day and night, even through a bit of crying and blowing my nose, which was impressive, and I also tend to sweat quite a bit. It also was transfer-resistant, and I even had forgotten to use a setting spray.

Let’s talk about the packaging too! Of course, being a Charlotte Tilbury product, it came in a beautiful box with her signature gold writing on it, and the foundation itself came in a fabulous glass bottle.

The bottle has a gorgeous gold metal cap that comes off to reveal a golden pump, and of course the bottle has more gold writing on it with her logo written on it as well. Every last thing about this product is wonderful! What it is, is a long-lasting, weightless, hybrid skincare-foundation.

Charlotte’s secret to a flawless, poreless-looking, confident complexion. Important Ingredients- Replexium: Helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. MossCellTec No. 1: Helps thoroughly hydrate skin.

AirCool: Provides an immediate fresh feel on skin. This product is both vegan and cruelty-free, which is very important to me. This hybrid skincare-foundation contains Charlotte Tilbury’s magic matrix of ingredients, including the groundbreaking Magic Replexium to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

The hydrating, lightweight formula is sweat-proof, humodity-proof, waterproof, and transfer-resistant. When tested on 30 men and women: Moisture levels were boosted by 216% in 1 hour. Tested on 311 men and women over 8 weeks: 97% agree skin feels cool after use.

95% agree pores look reduced. When tested on 22 women: Skin had limited exposure to everyday pollutants. I am totally in love with this foundation and can’t say enough good things about it! This is definitely a product that I recommend and absolutely the foundation I will be using from now on!.

Lakme perfecting Liquid Foundation Blends easily into skin , it create that soft flawless skin and it gives that glow after wearing it doesnt make you feel dry but it do Oxidize , u can wear it daily.

I didnt feel any allegy or skin issue after wearing it and it also have that mild odour it doesnt feel any irritation. It is medium covarage foundation , i really recommend to normal to dry skin than oily skin.

This is the best foundation NARS has ever made, and the best foundation in Sephora for my skintone. The shade Belem is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL — a peachy-pink for medium-deep brown-skinned girls, and you know that’s a very hard undertone to match, and hard to find in stores as most makeup brands don’t bother making this complex tone for deeper skin.

Belem matches my skin EXACTLY, and the color never changes throughout the day: it doesn’t turn orangey like most neutral-toned foundations, it doesn’t turn ashy like most pink-toned foundations would, and it doesn’t darken when my skin gets oily.

It’s legit stay-true color. (For reference, I wear Bobbi Brown Warm Walnut, Pat McGrath 25, and MUFE HD in R510 Coffee. ) It also has a dream texture, finish, and coverage. It melts into my face with a truly natural-matte finish that’s totally undetectable and literally looks like my skin.

Applies equally well with fingers, brush, or sponge. Creamy in the bottle, but so lightweight and breathable on the skin, it feels like I’m wearing nothing. The coverage is perfectly medium, so one sheer layer is enough to even out my complexion and look polished.

I find the longwear claims to be true as I’ve worn this foundation overnight and still looked great the next day. I’m a foundation queen, and I’ve tried nearly everything on the market, for decades now.

All in all, the Natural Radiant is everything I’ve ever wanted in a foundation, and I’m praying that they don’t discontinue this formula or shade. It’s literally PERFECT.

Everytime I go to Sephora, the young ladies recommend this foundation for long wearing and full coverage. While I personally think the price is a big high, I am willing to pay if the foundation lives up to what is claims.

I love the jar, long and sleek. I love the logo and the color range is quite fantastic for me being olive/yellowish skintone. I am super oily, but dehydrated. On application, this foundation is high medium/low full coverage foundation.

I can get a great color match compared to my holy grail Estee Lauder Double Wear. This also has more coverage. My dark spots and hyperpigmentation was easy to cover and I dabbed a bit more on those spots that required more coverage.

I used a brush and I will say I do love the look of this foundation on my skin. I powdered with my Too Faced Peach Perfect powder and on initial application, I was truly thinking this would be my new holy grail.

It looked fantastic with a radiance that really made my skin look healthy and youthful. At 2 hours, I was really looking shiny. At 4 hours, the foundation was coming off my face and it was transferring to everything.

Even dabbing with a sponge did not improve the look. For the price, this should last longer on the face. It is going back. PRO: great coverage CON: not long lasting, pricey.

I never go and write review but this foundation made me do. I decided to upgrade my foundation to use after wedding at parties and etc. after alot of research and good reviews i decided to go for it ( since its an expensive brand).

The online tool helped me get the exact shade (which i was very pleased with). But then came the foundation. It cracked on my skin like it was not holding on to my skin could see it flaking ( i have one of the least complicated skins).

I tried with primer, without primer, with mositurizer without mositurizer. but i did not just work. I had to wash my face after doing my half makeup ( alot of time wasted) as it made my skin look so awful.

this happened at 3 different times. Since i was not in UK I could not return ( where i had orginally purchased i could not return). I am not here writing bad review out of spite rather disappointment for product I had high expectation from.

The foundation barely few pump used is sitting on my table since last december and reminds me of money wasted. I’ll suggest others to please go in person to test the foundation and see if it works.

This foundation can only be described as luxurious. It is the closest foundation match I’ve found so far to that of Estee Lauder’s top selling foundation. B. T. W. matte is a buildable foundation so it’s great for day wear.

It looks light and feels light with the bonus of medium coverage. Evening top up teamed with their concealer provides a flawless base ready for any design. I have combination skin, more on the oily side but do not like matte foundations.

I ordered by mistake but am glad I did and here is why. I prefer a natural slightly dewy finish to my foundation and because I have oily skin that is the effect I get with this foundation. Covers puffiness, blemishes, dark circles and pigmentation teamed with the concealer.

It holds blush and Highlighters in place so you dont have to go running to the powder room every 30 mins for touch ups. I dont condone this next part and don’t recommend it to anyone. My skin reacts if I fall asleep in my foundation and I end up with a week of breakouts which didn’t happen with this foundation (will have to check if there is anything different in the formular).

Most importantly, it does not oxodise so you won’t end up with a tango face and they have a wide range of colours on offer. Overall a 5* from me on this product.

I have combo skin, as the day goes on oily in the T zone and the rest of my face is normal to dry. I hated this foundation because it was drying and heavy makeup-y looking on the skin until I found a different way to use it (mix it).

First of, I’ve been on a foundation hunt ever since EL double wear light hydra foundation was discontinued (it was my ride or die) and I’ve spent hundreds of dollars trying to find something that made me feel good in my skin and the task had been hard, and finally I looked over at the original EL double wear collecting dust and how everyone loves it I was like what do I have to lose, I gave it another chance in a different way.

Most important thing to do first is to prep and hydrate the skin. I use the Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Moisturizer and Mario Badescu Facial Spray my fav is the Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea.

Let that sink in a little into the skin. And here the my magic key mixture that gave me beautiful with the EL double wear. MIX the foundation with a drop of the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex Serum (I use a makeup palette and spatula , on pump of foundation and a drop of serum and mix very well! Add less serum to see how you like it because you can always add more , Vs take away ).

With the mix, The foundation becomes hydrated and so smooth to apply and looks just like skin ! Also, I love the EL shade range they blend beautifully with the skin so foundation looks seamless. This was a game changer.

My skin isn’t drying in this anymore and it has a healthy natural finish. The longevity is completely kept intact with the serum just like EL double wear is famous for and it’s just perfect combination.

Please try this if Double Wear has not worked before for you. Shade: 1N1 but I will be ordering 1N2 as this one is just a hint too light. The serum I had as a sample. This is why it’s so small. I will be ordering a bottle of it.

This is my BY FAR FAVORITE foundation. I’ve come back to review this for the 2nd time now, last time was in November after using for a month to see how I liked it and wanted to see if it would break me out before reviewing, etc.

but I’ve just been unable to find another foundation like this one! To start off, I have really dry, eczema skin. but if you use a moisturizer and some setting spray on your face before putting this on, you will be fine if your skin is like mine.

So, I had run out of this foundation at the beginning of the year, I should’ve ordered when I was getting low but I was unaware that they don’t carry this one in the ulta stores, so I finished off the remainder of this too faced foundation I had (not the same but works good) and that started getting low so I went into my local ulta to see if I could maybe find something similar to it.

Nothing similar but a worker recommended a Smashbox matte foundation for me since I have dry skin. and I returned in within 2 days because I just couldn’t. it enlarged my pores and had barely any coverage at all.

So I was out of town and went and visited another ulta, hoping I could return that one and find this foundation, they didn’t have it either! So I settled with too face again but got a shade too dark.

So now I have to return yet again (ulta is about to be sick of me lol) but I’m almost thinking about returning this, and going foundationless for a while until I can order this and have it come in the mail.

Too faced is great, don’t get me wrong it’s definitely my 2nd choice, but nothing seems to compare to this foundation and will always be my favorite. It can withstand heat, humidity and sweat, all while making your face look flawless (not exaggerating).

My forever favorite. I would never come back and review something for a 2nd time. but now that I’m without it and have had to the other foundations again, I am seeing that I need to not go without this foundation again!.

I am seriously in love with this foundation it is truly one of the best high end foundations I have tried. I am a full coverage type of girl and I like that this foundation goes a long way since it has coverage.

It is medium to full but you can definitely build it up to your liking. I personally don’t feel like i have a heavy face since the foundations feels lightweight for me. I always get asked what foundation I am wearing.

For reference my skin type is normal to oily and I sometimes have breakouts. I apply this foundation with a brush as I find I get more coverage and use less product. Since it is a matte foundation I do tend to still use skincare products that are hydrating so my skin is hydrated and the foundation applies smoother.

At night I will use a cleansing balm to double cleanse and make sure my makeup is fully removed. Please remember the importance of double cleansing and having a proper skincare routine. Overall if your looking for a long lasting foundation this one is perfect especially for the summer as it lasts all day and has great coverage.

I also like the the variety of shade ranges as it was easy to find my shade so 10/10 recommend trying this foundation if you have been hesitant.

This new foundation is wonderful for me! 49 years old. My critical mother gave me a compliment, she did not know I had foundation on. She thought my skin was that good! For me, I have applied makeup on others and it would look beautiful but i failed applying it to myself.

After all these years I came to my own conclusion that I perhaps was expecting too much and should just accept that it is what it is. I needed to buy new foundation again. I nearly bought another high end brand but decided to try this first.

It took me sometime to make a color match. I tried your camera app to match and decided on the 2nd choice instead of the preferred choice. I bought the sponge as well. I was not expecting much and my major hangup was at least get the right shade the first time.

I did not know if my skincare would even work with this. I have no primers. After the application (I normally powder because in the past i felt it was the only way to help the foundation blur up my skin.

Not only did I not need that powder in attempt to make it look more presentable the foundation alone just made my face , my skin look as perfect as my critical eye could see. I tried all types of lighting from the harsh to the ring light and it shocked me! I had all but resigned to looking just “meh” and give in to it and now I feel great with only adding mascara! I am a simple farm, rual area, married to a wonderful man.

He sees me as beautiful with or without makeup but he definitely noticed how happy I was with this foundation. When I asked him his thoughts on my new foundation he replied that my skin looked so smooth and perfect all with a smile.

Thank you for creating a foundation that looks this beautiful and the ease of application. The less I tried to make it look perfect the better it looks. I use 1 pump, I dotted a smear on my forehead and used your sponge to blend it in, went to the nose where I am red and have pores then went to the cheeks and side of face.

This is quick, it looks seamless, it covered blotches and chicken pox scars. I did not used it directly under my eyes but did very lightly blend it with a tiny bit then used a teeny bit of shape tape concealer.

Just a tiny bit. I now feel confident and comfortable with foundation and this is the first time I can say that. I hope to enjoy this foundation for my remaining years because I will have mature skin and still feel like I look my best and then some.

It is the first time I can say and appreciate the term Holy Grail. P. s. I do not read reviews by “influencers”. Personally, they just all say the same thing about a free product. It is when you have to pay for something that I consider an expensive luxury and find it it works for you that an opinion is worth looking into.

I paid for this on my own. I did not have any influence to purchase this as a matter of fact I nearly bought another brand but something pulled me to your website and I decided to give it one last try.

I am so very glad I did. Well done, seamless and beautiful and I am highly critical on myself. This is the first time I have ever left a Thank You and review on any cosmetic product. It is that stunning.

Absolutely thrilled with this foundation I received as a complimentary sample! I was afraid I chose the wrong shade but when applying it, it completely matched my skin tone. In my opinion, the shade looked darker than when it was applied.

This gave me medium coverage with just 2 pumps. It blurred my pores and gave me great coverage on my imperfections. It never oxidized throughout the day and it didn’t smudge or become oily. It is more of a natural finish than other foundations.

I usually use Matte foundation but found some can look a bit cakey or accentuates my dry patches on my skin, but this didn’t do that at all! To top it off, I felt like my other make up applied much smoother on top of this, such as my bronzer and eyebrow powder.

It didn’t smudge off and actually looked better after a few hours of wear. It’s pretty lightweight even though the consistency of the foundation looked like it was on the thicker side. I’m really pleased it’s also buildable and doesn’t look like I have so much make up on.

As make up forever says, you can use different application methods for different coverage options (such as using your fingers if you want light coverage or a makeup sponge for more coverage). This actually did work work as I tried several ways of applying it, but preferred using my sponge since I enjoy more coverage.

At first, I was skeptical that it gave an HD skin finish (as if I had a filter) but I put this to the test and took a selfie, which i was shocked because it really did look like I had a filter on! The claims of it being waterproof and sweat proof are believable so far as I wore this on warmer days and didn’t experience any fading.

I recommend this fully!.

I purchased shade 1N10 which is the closest match to the old formula’s shade Y235 yet it is not really a true match. I also went up a shade to the next higher neutral and I’m somewhere in between the two really.

The texture of this new foundation is more moisturizing which comes at a price in that it may settle into lines if you over apply or don’t blot it down with a beauty blender when done. I felt the finish looked natural – not exactly like skin but very nice thought not much coverage.

This is more of a skin tone evening foundation If you want coverage I find you need to go over those areas which need more coverage a second time and add another layer patting/stippling the foundation on.

It seems so many foundations today want to get that natural skin look and are either changing up their formulas or coming out with skin tints. For me I like the old formula better – I was a better shade match, the formula didn’t settle into fine lines as this one can at times and the old version already was very skin like and natural looking.

That being said this is a really nice foundation but it could be a little less thick in my opinion and perhaps it is a tad too moist. I think the Born This Way Foundation is better than this version by MUF and although very expensive the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate is wonderful and the L’Oreal True Match Healthy Luminous Makeup is truly a drugstore standout for great shade matching and skin like finish.

Bobbi Brown’s skin foundation (name may be a little different) is also stellar. I will keep the two foundations I bought from this new version and might even repurchase down the road. Honestly though I preferred the older version and did buy a few on ebay to keep.

By the time I use all this up I’m sure MUF will have a new version out yet again or maybe bring back the old one?.

I was slightly hesitant to try this foundation because even though I have oily skin, I am not the biggest fan of matte foundations because they tend to sink into my huge pores… However, I was intrigued by the “luminous matte” claim of this particular foundation.

Although an oxymoron, it is a smart one for those who are indecisive when it comes to foundation finishes. Upon application, this foundation is very full coverage, but not overly heavy. I applied it with a brush and it did take a little while to blend out, but it blended pretty nicely.

However, I did notice it sinking into my pores just a little bit and looking a bit more matte than luminous. I do have big pores so foundation sinking into them is expected, however, for the price point of this foundation, I expected a little more.

To clarify, I did my normal skin prep but did not use primer just to see this foundation in full effect. I will probably play around with it some more and see what products it works best with.

I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I have been wearing this product and testing it with other products in my routine to find the best wear. I have found i have the best luck with a very moisturized base and a radiant primer.

I have normal skin with a lot of texture, this foundation clings to every patch without a proper prep/prime. I have other foundations that do not require a primer and look great on my skin and for that this foundation loses a star.

However, I wore this foundation for over 14 hours and it looked just as good at the end as it did when i put it on. I did not have to refresh or touch up at all. If you enjoy matte foundations I would recommend trying.

If not, i do not feel that the price point will make this product worth it for you. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous and i do love displaying it on my vanity now.

I received this product complimentary from Influenster, and I LOVE it! It has an absolute stunning finish, and really makes my skin look beautiful. The color is very true to shades online, and it is full coverage.

1 pump gets you pretty far! I love the bottle with the pump! It has a light scent, and as someone sensitive to scent it didn’t bother me at all. I’ll definitely be saving it for special occasions. It actually does last a VERY long time as well.

Almost 10 hours with minimum movement for me alongside a setting spray and during interviews all day, so sweaty and hot! The only reason for the deduction in stars is because of the price. It’s definitely not something I can afford often, despite being so great.
