![]() What looks like a good match in the bottle often shows up completely different on your skin, and after a few disappointments, it seems easier to skip it entirely. Deciding on a foundation formula is one thing-just pick from sheer, medium, or full coverage-but shade selection is a whole other process. But I also know I'm not alone in my confusion either. After a few tentative swipes on their hands, it's clear to everyone that I don't know what I'm doing. I'm also useless to my foundation-seeking friends, from the palest to the darkest, who've asked for my help. I would love to hear if you’ve tried this foundation and if it works for you or not! Let me know in the comments below.Confession: I've been writing about beauty for years and yet I couldn't point to my foundation shade on a wall if you paid me. So, in conclusion, I guess this is going to be a foundation that you either absolutely love or hate. In addition, the majority of the Youtube Beauty Gurus that I trust and watch seemed to have the same opinions and viewpoint as me. On Sephora, it received an average of 4.3 stars out 5, although there were a sprinkling of reviews that seemed to align with how I felt. But, what I found interesting was that the reviews on this foundation were good for the most part. As a whole, the foundation was just very, very disappointing. It was like the worst of both worlds.Īs for its promises of hydration and long wearing finish, I can’t say I noticed anything special about either. It looked cakey and thick yet didn’t provide me the coverage I expected on my imperfections and breakouts. Second the coverage of this foundation is just weird. My nonexistent dry skin was suddenly severely highlighted by this foundation. I have quite oily skin so this was quite the surprise to me. First, it stuck to even the slightest of dry patches on my skin. Everytime I tested out this foundation, it look absolutely horrible. I tried this foundation so many times thinking it might be a bad combo with whatever cream or primer I was using, but no. Regardless of the poor shade match, the foundation itself is not any better. This foundation turned out to be the palest, whitest, yellowest foundation I have ever seen. Shopping for makeup online is hard, y’all. Now, in hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have just grabbed the lightest shade but in my defense I usually am the lightest shade in any foundation so I figured it would be the safest bet. So, instead, I got 04 N – for fair skin with neutral undertones. The reviews also contained a lot of people mentioning that they were recommended horrible matches as well. Anyone who has ever seen me know that my pale skin would never ever be described as light-medium. I took the “Find Your Shade” quiz to see what shade I would be and I was recommended the colour 20 N – for light-medium skin with neutral undertones. This foundation couldn’t be further from that description.įor starters, the shade range is way off (extensive, but off). It also has Brown Algae Extract in the formulation to provide an anti-pollution protective shield. Its formula is designed to reduce any signs of stress or fatigue, and make skin the skin more smooth, even, and radiant. ![]() It’s supposed to deliver a second-skin effect while providing lasting hydration and covering imperfections. This foundation initially intrigued me because it’s described as a foundation that feels like a light coverage skin tint but it promises buildable medium coverage on the skin. ![]() What’s not to love? Well, I sure found out the answer to that question. Plus I bought it during the VIB sale at Sephora when the entire Sephora Collection was 30% off so I figured there was no harm in trying it out. Afterall, it is called the Best Skin Ever Liquid Foundation ($25CAD/$20USD). The name itself was enough to make me want to buy it. However, my aversion to Sephora Collection seemed to be taking a turn (or so I thought…) when I started seeing this new foundation everywhere. The whole line seems like drugstore quality for slightly higher than drugstore prices. I love Sephora but their own line has just never interested me (actually that’s a lie- I bought one of their clearance eyeliners for $4 once to make it over the $50 minimum for free shipping). I don’t I’ve ever tried something from Sephora Collection.
