This Definitely is Magic in a Bottle For Me
I was having problems finding a foundation that would work with my maturing skin and the issues that come with it (fine lines, texture, dryness), so I wrote to Beautylish customer service and shared my issues and asked for help. I was so surprised that I received a response within an hour with a foundation that could work for me. I was skeptical due to the so-so ratings some people gave this foundation. After a while, I pulled the trigger and purchased it.
I am so thankful that I did. This is now my holy grail of foundations. I wear it with a pore minimizing primer on my T zone and a hydrating and smoothing primer on the rest of my face. This melts into my skin and makes my skin look like I don't have any issues whatsoever. I use two layers with a foundation brush and finish with a pressed powder, then I use a dewy setting spray and my skin just looks amazing.
I was worried that the shade Fair 2 wasn't going to work but it is a perfect match to my skin. I can wear this for six hours before I need to powder or touch up. It does not cake up on me and it does not feel like I am wearing any foundation at all. I am in love.
I want to send a special shout out to Alexis for helping me find my holy grail foundation. She is a doll.
Really like this.
I really like this foundation. The finish is natural, and the coverage is pretty good. It works great with a silicone-based primer underneath. That being said, I don’t love it. Sometimes it looked a little patchy and dry after a few hours. However, I think with the right primer it could be perfect. I might try CT’s to see if brand-matching gives it the slight improvement to make me love it.
Definitely a medium coverage foundation but you can build to get fuller coverage. I find it will last about an 8 hour day before needing touch ups (and this is with a primer and setting spray). Overall it's decent for the price, not sure if I'll rebuy as I've found other brands with better staying power.
I'm fairly pale with neutral undertones (normally a MAC N3) and Shade 2 was a great match for me.
In my top 5!
This foundation is lovely. It's the perfect combination of the coverage I'm looking for plus the ability to stay put even 10 hours later. I was a bit nervous ordering online as color matching is a total guess. But luckily, this shade (2 Fair) is perfect for my cool fair skin tone. Highly recommended and I will be ordering a backup!
Good medium coverage foundation that is buildable
I like that you can build up the coverage of this foundation and that it has skin care included. I love that it is a creamy and moisturizing it blends beautifully into the the skin. I have dark under eye circles and need concealer but am use to that so it is no deal breaker. I like that I can add more only wear I need it or use a concealer in my problem areas but don't feel like I have a mask of makeup on.
