Holy Grail!!
I am so so so glad I chanced upon this and decided to try (despite the high price point)… all my life I have been searching for a suitable foundation for myself, as I have super oily and dry combi skin… nothing works for the oily t zone. It shines throughout the day and nothing stays and everything would just melt and turn patchy… but this, this is indeed immaculate… I still need a primer (I use hourglass veil mineral) and a setting powder… but this is by far the BEST foundation I have ever used… pricey, but worth every penny…
Love this, great for oily skin
I'm honestly amazed. I have tried so many foundations from high end (hourglass, jouer, estee Lauder, dior, cover fx..) mid range (urban decay, too faced, Anastasia, kvd, bare minerals..)to lower end (NYC, covergirl, wet n wild, juvias..) an none I can compare with this hourglass immaculate liquid to powder foundation, it's kinda like magic if u have oily skin, idk what's in this stuff lol but no foundation has ever lasted all day without me having to blot my oilfield smh.. this one did. Normally when I shop beautylish or anywhere I'll grab 2 foundations just bc most the time I go with something hyped about an it's a let down. This time I purchased cover fx powerplant & hourglass immaculate liquid to powder foundation and both I'm totally tickled by. I honestly don't know yet which I like more. Highly recommend both if you have oily skin.
Holy grail foundation for oily skin.
As a makeup artist I’ve used many foundations over the years and this is by far still my favorite for personal use. The liquid formula dries to a powder finish, leaving my skin looking amazing all day. I love trying and experimenting with different formulations but when I need a foolproof base for the day, this is my go-to. This foundation is also great for photography and videography. It’s simple beautiful on screen and off. I hope anyone who’s oily skin gives this a try, I highly recommend it.
Ps, I’ve started using this foundation since it came out and it’s still my absolute fav.
super matte
I have very oily skin, a MAC NC30, and lives in a very humid Manila especially during summer. This dries like Fenty but not thick like Becca's ever-matte foundation. I could not remove a star on Nude tho it looks dark on me but I cannot say I am to blame cause this is an online purchase and if the website is not helping out on finding the right shade then I cannot say it's the customer's fault. But since i bought a lighter shade from Fenty I just mixed them to tone down the shades. Anyway I find it very rare to really get hold of the perfect shade for me from any brands. But I can attest that my made up face lasted for a little over 9 hours without being overly oily. I mean even Fenty can only last for nearly 4 hours before oil starts to peep out. I recommend this for those with oily skin.
way worth the $55!
I love how buildable it is and the coverage is just.. AMAZING. it is great for us oily skin girls. this use to be my daily foundation but I totally forgot about it and might have to repurchase! I recommend this to anyone who has oily skin, wants medium-full coverage that is buildable.
Not for everyone
I agree with the reviewers who mentioned dry patches. I went back to get a more moisturizing formula (smashbox 15 hour) for the winter and I will give this another try this spring or summer. I thought I had my dry patch problem solved by using my clarisonic and moisturizer, but the hourglass foundation sought the dry areas of my face out like a missile and it was not a good look:(
Very unforgiving for dry patches.
As someone with very oily skin this felt completely dry on me till the point that I felt uncomfortable wearing it minutes after applying it. The finish looks too flawless that it doesn't look natural to me. I got a sample from my skin IQ match at Sephoras and I still have quite a bit left and I'm debating if I shold give it another shot. And I also know to make sure to exfoliate beforehand cause this will emphasize dry patches.
invisible
I apply with the sephora foundation brush. it simply makes my skin smooth and pretty without looking made up. it's the foundation I have been searching for forever. it provides enough coverage for everyday,and builds easily when I'm in the mood for spectacular.
