Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation

I am in my 30s and have combo skin so I bought this thinking it would be perfect for me. It claims to be a foundation for all skin types with medium coverage and a radiant finish. Sadly, it did not give me the results I wanted. Here is my feedback based on my experience with this product and their claims:

Skin Types/Lasting Power: I do not agree that this is for all skin types. It slips off after a few hours and settles into fine lines and emphasizes texture you didn't even know you had. It also clung to any dry patches that I had. I tried using this multiple times with different primers and setting powders and no matter what I tried, I could not get this to work. I even tried mixing it with other foundations and still no luck. For reference, I did use two different BECCA primers with this foundation (Blurring and Backlight) and am meticulous with skin care and prepping my skin.

Coverage: I tried applying this product with a brush and a damp beauty blender. I did get better coverage with a brush but the finish was not as radiant and it looked really cakey on my skin. When I applied with a damp beauty blender, I went in with minimal product and got a light coverage. I prefer light coverage so this was okay with me. I definitely think you can achieve medium coverage, especially if you are using a brush.

Finish: I agree that this is radiant when you go in with a damp beauty blender and a light layer. I found it to me a bit more natural when using a brush to achieve higher coverage.

Shade: The shade Fair was a good color match on me. I found that it has pretty neutral undertones.

I gave it two stars because the consistency is really nice (not too liquidy and not thick) and it does have a nice radiant finish when using a beauty blender. However, the cons far outweigh the pros in my opinion. It just did not look good on my skin shortly after applying and I ended up looking pretty horrible throughout the day. I would not recommend this product if you have similar skin type as I do. I honestly do not think it would perform on oily or dry skin since it separates with any oil production and it clings really bad to any dry patches. Maybe if you have normal skin without any skin concerns (texture, fine lines, etc...) this would work. Sadly, I will not be repurchasing or recommending.

This is a nice foundation. 8 have normal to oily to dry skin and it sits nice on my face. Very smooth and VERY easy to blend. Not very good to apply powder on top though because then it looks cakey. Not very full covererage which is ok for me because I don't mind blemishes showing through . But if you want full coverage maybe this isn't for you. Very nice fresh feeling. Works well with other cream products.

I love Becca, and was excited to try out a foundation from them. I love the finish of it, and it wears very nicely on the skin if you're going for a natural, glowy finish. The only thing I would change would be the shade range. I found Fair to still be a little too dark for my natural skin. Though I'm not even that fair, I need to self tan before I can wear this foundation comfortably.

I was so ready not to like this because the majority of reviews I read were not on the positive side...well the joke was on me, because I absolutely love this foundation! I did find applying with a Beauty Blender to be the best way for me...it gave me even toned, luminous skin and it wore very well for such a moisturizing formula! It stands up to my hot flashes...major plus! It feels amazing going on, very smooth and hydrating, and it feels weightless once applied. I also found it to layer very easily so I can build coverage in areas where I need a bit more. I do have to dust my tzone with a light finishing powder around 6 hours into the day because my nose gets shiny...but I don't need any heavy setting powders to keep it in place. I am NW20 and shade Fair matches me perfectly. This foundation gives my dull/mature skin a glow I've wanted to find for so long! I am so happy I decided to try it!

I've always used tinted moisturizers, which gave me the light coverage and moisture I wanted, but always left my skin feeling oily towards the end of the day and never lasted into the night. This foundation feels even lighter and gives me even more skin goodness with more coverage time, and without feeling greasy. I hardly have to wear anything else under my eyes.

I was skeptical about trying this foundation, especially since many of the reviews I'd read weren't great. I was worried that the shade Fair wouldn't be fair enough for me, but it blended perfectly. The foundation is light to medium coverage, but you can build it up quite a bit without it getting cakey. It wore well throughout the day, I was actually quite impressed with it. if you like more of a matte finish, this probably isn't going to be your cup of tea, but if you prefer a dewy glow, you need to try this!
