SUPER NATURAL!!!
one of the best foundation i have ever tried in thr market! I already finished my first bottle and i tell you i never finished a bottle of foundation in my life before! super natural finish. Medium to full coverage, it looks like my skin, feels comfortable and lightweight. I cant recommend this enough!
Current Fave
This has been my go to since I started using it. It’s lightweight but buildable. I don’t feel like I have on a lot of make when wearing it. Very versatile as it’s perfect for an everyday wear and can be built up for a night out.
Maybe would work on supple baby-like skin
I was looking for a foundation with high coverage but a natural finish that self-set. I have dry skin but I always moisturize and prime before wearing foundation. I thought I would love this because it has similar ingredients to tarte rainforest of the sea but it's dreadful. I'm in my 20s and I have never seen a foundation give me wrinkles when I smile. From a distance it looks lovely, but close up enhances texture terribly - it is noticeable, I could not wear on a date. I am shade 1.1 N in...
Matte on Me!
It’s not the foundation’s fault, first and foremost! I went to Ulta to get my skin matched and I’m light with neutral undertones. I have mature, dry skin. I have lip lines and wrinkles. (Nice package!). So the woman, who was very nice, brought out a color that was for warm undertones! Oddly enough, it didn’t look bad. But luminous? No way!! It looked chalky on my face. Actually it looked chalky when she tested it on me, and I thought “maybe it gets luminous?” But darn it! That warm...
No product is worth breakouts!!
Fell in love with how this foundation made my skin look. It covered all my imperfections and lasted all day however, if you are prone to acne please stay away from this product! Save yourself the tears and the breakouts ! Took me 3 months to realize that this foundation was the cause of my breakouts. If you are genetically blessed and don’t get acne easily then give it a shot if not please don’t get this foundation!
Perfect for a dewy look
I was looking for a dewy look and I found it with this foundation. Recommend it if you have dry skin.
Only Foundation I’ve found that’s a perfect match
I was a bit worried because it’s luminous foundation and I have combination skin but it looks spectacular. Once blended it looks just like my skin. When testing give it a minute to oxidize. It blends very well with other brands and I haven’t had any problems with creasing AT ALL or breaking out after (which usually happens as I’m acne prone) Still watch out if you have oily skin. My T zone did get a little shiny but nothing powder won’t fix.
I have oily skin but that doesn’t mean I don’t want a luminous finish! It wore beautifully lasted 8 hours and made my skin look so glowy!
Bad product design, every bottle the pump breaks
I’ve purchased 5+ of these and every single time, after one use, the pump starts flooding and never works again without manual intervention. The foundation itself is great, but for $50, Anastasia really needs to get it together.
Like the other reviewers have said, it separates on your skin. Lifts off and cakes in greasier parts of my face. Blends well at first but doesn’t last.
A good natural finish yet luminous foundation
This Foundation by ABH is a good one. I have been using it many years until recently. My shade didn’t fit me and I was tired of my bottle always leaking 😅 I was also curious to try other brands. PROS The formula is very lightweight with a radiant yet natural finish. It is blurring too. The application is smooth and it’s easy to blend. My skin look so soft and so even with it. It’s not drying on the skin, not cakey, not dewy, not matte. It’s long wearing too CONS The bottle have leaked...
Foundation turns darker
Texture is great but this can look a shade darker. Anastasia need to work on their foundation shade range.
Natural finish luminous foundation. A must have in my routine . Great product to use all the time
Foundation turns orange!
I have bought this foundation many times before because it’s so good, but a few days ago i bought a new bottle and it oxidized. This has never happened before and they also discontinued my original shade 210N. Definitely returning!
This is my holy grail of foundations! I bought two different shades. It wears beautifully throughout the day, looks like skin, not too dewy or matte—perfection.
It is a beautiful finish, very easy to blend!!!!!!
Needs a formula change
Bought this to try it out because I know a while back it was popular because it had a natural finish and that’s what I was looking for HOWEVER, the formula is nice it looks so nice on the skin it just immediately oxidized orange and I rereturned it ASAP
stunning foundation
I have several different foundations & this one is one of my favorites. it leaves a natural lovely finish. it doesn't make my skin feel dry and that is wonderful for my dry skin. I 100% recommend this foundation.
Go to foundation for dry skin BUT bad pump!
I purchased this twice. It’s for dry skin in the winter! Very hydrating and great coverage! HOWEVER, like other reviews have stated, the pump broke and spilled everywhere both times.
Holy grail!
This is the best foundation match and super comfortable to wear on my dry skin. Please bring back the shade 110c! It’s holy grail status and I will continually purchase ! Please bring it back!
My favorite
I really really hope they aren’t discounting this foundation, I have been using it for years, I use 230N but I no longer see it available. I’m glad I bought another one last week.
Love love this foundation. True to colour and very easy to blend
They discontinued too many shades
I have been wearing 110c for years and get compliments all the time on my skin when I wear it. They discontinued my shade. I LOVED this product. Next foundation was a a few shades darker and does not wear well or blend. Very obvious I’m wearing foundation. and Shades
Light feeling
Very light on the skin! Not as oily as most makeup coverages. Didn't clog my pours as much.
A must have
I am extremely happy with how this goes on and the look
Terrible shade range
I absolutely love this product. It wears beautifully and I have been wearing it for years. Its so nice on my dry skin and has great buildable coverage. It is also the best foundation match I have ever had. So why the one star review? YOU DISCONTINUED MY SHADE. I can no longer purchase my favourite foundation because you decided I don't deserve to have it anymore. I am 110C. It disappears on my skin. Now I cannot use it anymore. In this day and age we should be making shade ranges bigger....
Love
This is the best foundation I’ve used. Just purchased my 3rd bottle. Perfect for my combo/dry leaning mature skin.
Favorite Foundation
I’ve been using this foundation for the past few years and always get complimented on my skin and get asked what foundation I use. I have combo skin and even if it is a luminous foundation it does not get me oily in my T zone like other foundations!
Not good
Bad coverage, gives a dry look to my skin. The only thing in liked was the color pallete, it was hard to find a foundation with this color that would match my skin.
If you prep your skin right, it works really well. I don’t have any pigmentation on my face so for me it gives full coverage but if you have spot you need double the amount. In overall it’s really smooth ands blends really well also my skin never breaks after use which is really good thing shift it
exploding makeup :(
maybe i got a faulty pump but this foundation literally explodes everytime i use it. i was literally just doing my makeup in my boyfriends stepmoms car and i was pushing the pump ever so lightly so it DIDNY EXPLODE and it literally exploded like ive never seen it do before. ALL OVER THE CAR. now i feel bad. my walls always get covered in it too i don’t know what this things issue is. will not be pircjasing again. for $57 i expect it not to explode when i use it
Must have
All I can say is YESSS. I’ve always received so many compliments on my makeup whenever I wear this foundation. Medium coverage can build up for full glam.
Screw top pump is pretty sensitive. Didn’t make it
I never really got a chance to use the product since the pump exploded and twisted off of the container, but what I was able to scrape out seemed to work all right but again it was open, I might try it again. I would’ve exchanged it for a different color but it was almost fully gone.
Not good for dry skin or fine lines
Not good for dry skin or wrinkles- it clung to my dry patches and eye wrinkles badly. After exfoliating and after trying it with 3 different primers and 2 different moisturizers, I had to give up on it
Changed formula—now turns orange and flakes
I’ve been using this foundation for 3 years and have absolutely loved it. However, I think they changed their formula very recently as the most recent bottle I’ve bought now turns orange on my skin, flakes and pills off, and does not provide coverage. I haven’t changed anything in my skin prep routine or primer. I will be changing to another foundation line.
This product does a great job when it comes to coving freckles
Not great for aging skin
The finish and coverage is really good and it lasts all day but it has a pretty bad orange undertone and doesn’t apply well under my eyes. I’m middle aged and am starting to get some under eye wrinkles.. This product looked cakey under the eyes.
Worst Foundation I've Ever Tried
I never write reviews but this foundation has been one of the worst foundations I've tried. For reference I have combo skin and foundations usually work well on me. This foundation separated like crazy, left white patches and looks cakey. I tried it 3 different times with good skin prep and nothing worked. Save your money and buy something else!!!
the coverage I want
great color and coverage. bought in store when 30 or 40%. Definitely will purchase again. it doesn't feel heavy like some do.
Love Anastasia! <3
This foundation is so lightweight but has beautiful buildable coverage. I typically use the Too faced Matte foundation in shade warm sand, but wanted to try something new and this was awesome. So far, everything ABH I’ve bought I’ve been impressed with. Definitely worth buying!
i’ve been using this foundation for a couple of years & it’s become my fave! my base always looks perfect no matter how little/much i put on & is never cakey or spreads
Worst foundation
This foundation doesn’t blend well, leaves white patches…will never purchase again
Hydrating and creamy texture
I got this foundation and it’s missing a portion of the product already (it’s brand new btw) the quantity is deceiving for $57 plus taxes. Other than that I love how hydrating and creamy the texture is and the quality is just amazing. Love it Love it
Really orange and cakey and it oxidizes like crazy but the coverage is nice I guess, IT SPILLS SO EASILY NO MATTER HOW YOU STORE IT
Perfect shade :)
This product is my perfect shade match, if you’re a brown girl with cooler undertones this will work great for you. It has a lovely natural finish.
Not for dry skin
It’s a no from me. It does not look good on my skin type. Have tried with the oil-which I’m also not a fan of.
I think I got a defective bottle
I don't know what is wrong with the foundation I got, but when i apply it, it immediately separates and turns into a white power substance. Actually scary because I don't know what is in it or what has gone wrong with it. Taking it back for sure.
Best foundation
I love this foundation. I wear it once a month. The rest of the time I wear nothing or tinted moisturizer. It's the best one I've ever tried and matches my very fair olive complexion and colouring perfectly. It is neither greasy nor cakey nor too thick or thin. It's just right. I don't think I'd look elsewhere at any time. I've tried them all and this is the best.
Stay Away
This will never blend no matter how hard you try. It is not “luminous”. It separates from your skin no matter how you prep your skin. The packaging is messy!!!! After 4 months of giving this a try, I have to conclude that is the worst founda foundation
Must have !
This is my number one favorite foundation especially with the huda beauty powder on top looks super smooth ! Love ittttt
Amazing foundation! I love this one its my go to! its medium with buildable coverage. Leaves a nice glow but not over doing it. Long wear as well. Will repurchase!
Not travel friendly
I bought 4 shades of this product and I LOVE it. Definitely similar to the NARS light reflect foundation. BUT the lid caps keep getting twisted off therefore spilling all over my makeup artist kit! Definitely not travel friendly.
Hello collar after a few hours
I like how my skin looks with the foundation, I tried it in the store, and when I came back home my skin looked yellow so oxidate product sample or the product got to that after a while so I returned
Paketlenme iyi saglam ulasdi elime tesekurler 26dolara aldim fiyatida uygun
My favorite foundation
I have tried soooooo many foundations. I have dry to normal skin and this foundation makes my skin look smooth and flawless. It’s light weight and has great coverage. I always get compliments when I weee a t this foundation.
Blend is amazing.
The way this blends is insane. Literally second skin.
Do NOT use!!
I have bought this a few months after my birthday and I applied it for the first time a week ago, it broke me out horribly! I used to have clear skin and I don’t easily get acne or pimples but this really effected my skin terribly. I don’t recommend!
I absolutely love this foundation it gives plenty of coverage, it’s flawless it last all day. I will definitely purchase again
My favorite foundation by far!! The shade that I got is a bit too light for me and once in stock I will be getting 332C. That finish is amazing and so is the coverage
Caused break outs on face and has crappy pump
This foundation by far might’ve been the worst I’ve used to start off very orange I undertones and has a bad pump that get stuck I thought it was just mine but everyone else seems to have the same problem also made me break out like crazy
this is the best foundation ive used in a while, a good medium between glowy and matte, only problem is the pump leaks
Not enough coverage
Pros: The colour is a good match for my skin. Lightweight feel. Cons: Although it gives a natural finish, it is by no means "luminous" as advertised. Texture feels too mat and not silky enough. The most disappointing part is that even though it is supposed to be medium coverage, it does not cover well and it does not even my skin tone.
Best foundation I’ve tried
I’m impressed by how well it lasts through my day and have had no issues with it.
perfect for beginners
i’m new to makeup but this foundation is honestly gorgeous, it’s light weight but has really good coverage, matches my skin tone a tea and does dry my face out. it also gives a really nice glow and lasts all day
Disappointed
I was shade matched in store and it looked fine initially. However, this foundation oxidizes a lot. Additionally, it transfers like crazy even after setting with powder and setting spray. Not happy with it all.
Amazing foundation
One of my favorite foundations! Lasts 12+ hours, amazing coverage, natural finish and doesn’t crease!! Color stays true all day as well! I have oily skin and it still worked for me with a matte primer of course!
I’ve been using this foundation for years! Every time I decide to switch it up and try something else I’m never as satisfied. I like the color range they offer as well. I have a summer shade and a winter shade. They mix seamlessly for the time in between. The coverage is enough without being too heavy and produces a nice natural finish.
Shade is way off
I ordered 230N which is supposed to be for light skin. I would have to lay in the sun for two weeks before this shade would match my skin tone. It is SO dark.
High coverage & still fresh looking
I have acne scarring on my cheeks, hormonal breakouts, and dry skin. This foundation can’t change that, but it gives a fresh look with buildable coverage. HG for me.
this exploded
this is a great product but two days after i got this it exploded and the top was not on right and i have not even used this yet in till after it exploded
It broke the day after I got it, didn't realize I could return it until, after the timeline was up. :(
The method of its use is matter, not for oily skin
I liked this foundation, just a small amount was enough to do its job and it was perfect match with my skin color. Of course, if I needed more coverage, I had to put on more foundation, but then it was 1-2 degrees lighter than my skin color. For my dry skin it was good, but sometimes when I was put on some lotion then foundation, after a few hours it was running away from my skin or if I was in warm-warm temperature, also sometimes hard to stay on nose. After 5-8 hours it starts fade away...
Yes I will be keeping this brand
I’m loving this product I just need a slight bit color a little darker.
Ride or die foundation
I been obsessed with ABH since 2016 so it’s only right I always get their foundation. Perfect for acne prone skin. Perfect silicone based foundation. LOVE HER!
Yes!!!
My favorite go to. It’s medium buildable coverage and has a natural finish. Doesn’t look cakey at all and leaves your skin looking radiant. I’m not sure why this foundation isn’t talked about more.
A staple in my routine
I love it best high end affordable foundations. I have oily skin but it works just fine I love it!!
Worth of trying
Very pretty glowy foundation. I got it on a sale and im happy to have it. Would buy it again.
Undertone
The shade 530N has a horrible undertone every orange fare from neutral but the finish of the foundation is a beautiful
Skin like foundation with a nice glow
I purchased shade 130N from the shade finder and it was actually very close to my natural shade so for that i am grateful! I bought this during the spring sale for half the price of retail and just received this today in the mail. The moment I opened the bottle to swatch I knew I would have a love hate relationship with this product, the shade is great, it’s super thin so feels great on the skin, skin like, no added fragrance I can tell however the bottle I don’t like so much. Just from...
my absolute favorite! I have been using this for 3 years and get compliments on my completion daily!
Love!
Love Love Love this product! I recently starting using liquid foundation and this was the first product I tried. It is so easy to apply, the colour match is perfect and it lasts ALL DAY! I usually do my makeup around 6am and go to work all day and by the time i get home around 4-430pm I feel like it is still holding great!
Very very good formula
Very nice formula. I feel like my skin feels better after having it on. It is comparable to NARS IMO. Blends well, sets nicely and lasts a long time.
Glowing
One of the only foundation that doesn’t cost me to break out color 230 is glowing
I have dry flaky skin, and this is the first foundation that goes on so smooth.
I went to get color matched a few months ago, this foundation was a little too dark for me. it doesnt match with my neck i look orange. the sephora employee did not attempt to color match h me with another foundation she said this is your shade goodbye
It's a no for me
I just received this product and tried it on, and it's very dry and cakey on my skin. It shows all my pores and lines in my face. I'll have to return it, unfortunately.
MUST HAVE!
So I got this Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics foundation when it was on sale for I think $25 and I got mine in the shade #250C, an associate shade matched me and I do really like this foundation. It's more of a luminous finish, which I personally love because I have really dry skin and this definitely helps.
Good foundation natural looking
This is a very good luminous foundation!! Love it also got my sister a bottle and she said she got lots of compliments. It's natural looking and that's what I like.
Love Love Love
been using the Anastasia products, never disappointed
Amazing foundation!
My favorite foundation. My first perfectly matched shade! I have combo skin, mostly dry but oily in t zone. This foundation goes so smooth on the skin and looks natural. It’s also buildable as well if you like full coverage.
The foundation is fine. But the applicator is terrible. There is no way to not make a mess. And then to make matters worse, while on holiday the lid stopped screwing in properly leading it to leak everywhere. Would possibly purchase the foundation in a different container, but it wasn’t good enough to be worth the hassle.
Product is amazing, pump not so much
The foundation itself is so good. I'm probably the palest of fair skin range and it matches me, I have neutral and olive-y undertones. Its definitely medium coverage, a more natural luminous finish as its not overly glowy on me. Other reviews have mentioned but the pump sucks, so I had to take away one star.
I got the shade 150 hoping it was going to be my color sense it shows like tan color but instead I got way different color really white it leaves a nice finish but I wish they actually showed the actual shades instead soyk what waht
perfect match with my skintone, gives a natural look.
Love it
My all time favorite foundation love it ! Looks amazing on skin .
Holy Grail
I AM IMPRESSED. It was on sale 50% off, so I gave it a shot. Beautiful. I'm 47 and it didn't settle in my lines and large pores. I'm super pale and it matched me and didn't oxidize to orange...I'm speechless. I'm gonna buy another while it's on sale! New Holy Grail of this old gal.
Would give 0 stars
No. No. No. if you have dry skin stay farrrrr away!!! I double moisturized in my skin prep, AND used a moisturizer/primer duo and you can see what happened.
A must have for sure ‼️
I love this foundation it’s long lasting doesn’t flake or separate and looks flawless with a small amount and is buildable.
CRAPPY PUMP
The formula is great but the pump is absolute trash
So Gorgeous and Smooth!
Super smooth and goes on well. Doesn’t leave a crust or comes off in flakes like some foundations do. Would recommend for people who have sensitive skin or acne like myself.
Orange and not luminous
This was really a bad foundation. It’s SOO orange and not luminous at all. It’s pretty mat.
Good product,it is my second bottle. But it's the worst pump I ever used. I used a lot foundations, even the drug store brands have better pump than this.
Favorite
I've tried every foundation basically under the sun (I used to work at Ulta), this one is SO dependable. I use it for special occasions because it just holds up so well. I've gotten compliments on how my skin looks. Also, in pictures it's amazing. This will 100% be my wedding foundation some day. It doesn't look heavy, you can't feel it in your skin. But the coverage is great and the glow it gives is outstanding. My skin is SUPER finicky and very oily. I also love in Florida where it is...
Depends on your skin type
If you have OILY SKIN, this is great. The application, wear, glow, all of it was beautiful. In the winter months my skin tends to dry out or flake if I’m using certain products. So, if you have DRY SKIN, don’t bother with this. It’ll cling to the dry patches and saturate every single impurity.
Dewy and beautiful
Love this foundation. Shade match was perfect and I love that it’s not overly thick. Blends out smoothly on the skin and looks very natural and skin-like. Luminous is definitely the best way to describe this foundation
Returned this one! Did not blend well and balled up on my face each time. Tried so many base skin care, nothing worked.
Will return
I’ve had this for two weeks. I have worn it with water base and silicon base primers and nothing works. It spreads like crazy. I used it with the onesize primer,bought the primer bc the Sephora worker said they pair . They don’t. Will be return
Skip ABH foundations…
If I could give 0 star I would. First off, luminous implies it’s not a matte foundation - it dries very matte which sucks because I am in my mid30s and do not want matte foundation anymore due to the increase of fine lines on my skin. Second, it does not matter how you prep your skin this garbage will pill and separate everywhere. I’ve tried water based and oil based skincare before applying, I’ve tried multiple primers, and multiple sunscreens. The only way to not have it pill as badly is...
Inconsistent not worth the price anymore
This is my third bottle. I never had any issues with the first two. Loved how it wore throughout the day, never looked dry or cakey, or oxidized. Shades could be better but i managed to find one that works. This use to be my favourite foundation and now I don’t think I’ll ever repurchase it again. This bottle I have I’m barely halfway through and it’s off. The colour oxidizes immediately upon application. It’s very patchy and doesn’t blend nicely. I’ve applied it the same way every time I...
Every day staple
I've been using this for over a year now, it's so light and great coverage. perfect for someone like me who just wants a little something to even my skin tone
glowing and moisturizing skin
I love this foundation! I am dark-skin and have normal skin that can be dried out if a foundation isn’t moisturizing enough. it’s really amazing, it makes me glow and is nice on my skin!
Definitely a must have for natural finish
It has a skin like finish and worked really well with my dry skin and did not go flaky around my nose! Very blend able and I use it daily
Must have !!
This is my main foundation, 260N is my perfect match doesn’t look “cakey” on the skin this first one I bought the pump didn’t work but I managed to still finish it and buy another bottle. Thankfully the pump works on this one haha
Very good!
I loved this foundation, is very light. I have combination type of skin and it works really well with it, also it works well with my SPF, it doesn't look cakey, I really really really liked it
Best foundation for summer time
I love this foundation,the color is a little warmer than I thought!it’s an amazing foundation for summer time
Great Coverage - Subtle Glow
150W - perfect match for me. I use an oil, 2 serums, 1 cream, and sunscreen before before applying this with either brush or sponge and I really like the finish. A subtle glow with great coverage that is buildable. prefer
A little heavy on my skin and sorta cakey. Gets dirty easily. Not right for me.
First makeup that matches me perfectly and doesn’t cause me to break out! I’m really happy with my purchase.
Best foundation - worst packaging
I love this foundation - it makes my skin look like skin! BUT the bottle is the absolute worst design ever!! I'm on my 6th bottle and every one has leaked a significant amount. My newest one which has been used twice completely broke all over my makeup travel case (even though I keep the bottles taped up because I know they leak) and ruined almost all the makeup I had in it. The product is great but the bottle makes it not worth buying anymore. Last time purchasing for sure. Not worth...
Good Stuff Bad Package
Ugh love this product but like tons of other people said, the pump broke shortly after buying it, like others have said. Super frustrating. Now it’s a mess and wasted product!
pretty good
i feel like this broke me out a bit on my forehead but i have acne prone skin so that is sort of par for the course. really pretty natural look, does settle into my smile lines a bit but with some powder it’s all good
This rubs off onto clothes and sheets everything. The pump breaks and it’s slightly messy. It’s just cheap. There was a time when makeup didn’t require setting spray. Again it’s just cheap in my opinion.
Awesome Foundation
Two Years Later, Still One Of My Favorite Foundations. I Don't Like Looking Like I'm Wearing Foundation And I Don't Like Matte. So Easy To Use/Blend/Shade Match. I Have Normal Skin And It Lasts At Least 10 Hours On Me. Feels Great On My Mature Skin.
Love Love Love
This foundation is BEAUTIFUL! I've been on a foundation hunt lately because my old brand changed formulas. I tried this one today and let me tell you...it's *chef's kiss*. I have combination skin (normal-dry) and the glow that it gave me was amazing. After wearing it for the entire day, it just got more glowy, but coverage was still there. I just blotted my nose and was good to go. The formula is gorgeous and comfortable, and I definitely recommend for normal or dry skinned beauties that are...
Like this a lot
I usually don’t leave reviews. I only tried this foundation because this was what showed up as the closest to my skin tone with the color matching tool in store. I’ve tried many cheap and expensive foundations and like this one a lot. I would give it a solid 8 out of 10. Doesn’t make me break out. I wear matte foundations a lot and don’t necessarily believe this is luminous. Good coverage as well medium to full. Give it a try.
Not good
This product was terrible. I’m not sure if it was a foundation their associates were supposed to push to everyone. She was very admit this was the only foundation good for me. The foundation separated and turned orange on my face. Was the first item I have returned
Disappointed
I was expecting more from this foundation, I made sure it was for my skin type, but this is its so oily it rubs everywhereee, it doesn't last long, never really settles on your skin, even after trying many different skin preps, it just its such a weird foundation, the bottle is horrible bad quality, the pump gets stuck, and it leaks. Very disappointing for the price, honestly, I've tried better foundations for less of a price.
I’m not so sure this is meant for oily skin, it rubbed off ALOT on my clothes and jackets, even on my hands when I would move hair out of my face, it left my face looking extremely caked, even when I used a little.
Caused white heads
When I started using this product I figured I was just also going through some hormonal acne. Finally after using an entire month I realized every time I used the foundation, white heads would pop up hours into wearing. Afterstoppin stopping
AVOID
I got this as part of a sample and HATED IT. It applies okay ish and throughout the day makes you look super cakey. It looked like my skin was dry and peeling (I do a hydrating skin prep before) never purchasing
Not worth it
Really good coverage and a nice shade match. Didn’t use it too much. Did leak everywhere and packaging did cause me to leave a mess.
Foundation is okay! Medium coverage and easy to blend but it’s not gonna last long! Need to reapply cuz it wipes out by touching face. The bottle is HORRIBLE thought!! Dropped it once and it shattered into pieces
This is my favorite foundation, The first one I’ve found that actually lasts all day and has a smooth finish
7$ at winners!
I was so surprised on how good this foundation was. I used concealer as foundation for around 5 years now and this foundation works just like my concealer and it’s not caked 5/5 and I got mike for 7$ at w to the linnets so really good but for me
Great moisturizer, terrible pump
I love the coverage and moisturizing quality of this foundation. I’m switching to another brand because pump is awful as many people have said. Don’t waste your money until they fix it
need better quality packaging!!!
very good foundation but terrible quality bottle. one drop and it breaks!! i know it’s user error but dang!!! ive gone through like 3 bottles just because they drop and shatter!!!!
Love the new foundation for me!
Love! This was recommended to me in the ATX Arboretum location. Great coverage, feels light on.
Chalky mess
Terribly drying and chalky finish. Horribly patch around my nose.
Please Dont Buy Anastasia Foundation!
I was finding a good foundation for my dry face, and i asked from sephora , she suggested me this Anastasia foundation, but this foundation just wastes my money , time , this is so expensive i thought it would work for me but this is waste of money, please dont go for this foundation if you have dry skin , becomes cakey and not blendable when you apply on face it becomes cakey Although i prep my skin very well but this 😢i will never ever buy anything from this brand…. 💔
Obsessed
This is my favorite medium coverage foundation for years now. It looks very natural and lasts all day without moving
Look elsewhere:(
Terrible pump. I’ve hardly used it and still it leaks all around the sides, even when standing upright all the time. Huge mess. The pump also gets stuck a lot. Not a good product for dry skin. I visibly dry). I’ve heard good things, but it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve also had issues with it like clinging to my sponge instead of my face. Wanted to love it tho:(look far worse with the product than without (makes me look
bottle is a disaster in your bag
The foundation itself is easy to apply, goes on smoothly, and looks flawless. The bottle is a disaster. While in my bag, the lid came off and the pump unscrewed itself, and nearly half of the contents of a brand new bottle emptied itself into my bag and onto everything. Why the product designers feel it necessary to put a pump on this product, instead of a simple, tight-fitting snap-close lid, I do not understand. If they designed a better bottle, I'd give it a better review, but...
After using this product, my face is drying out and itches for days after using the product.
eww
After using this shade a couple of times I have to toss it. it's very yellow, almost muddy. adding a much lighter shade to it doesn't help.
Great for sensitive skin
I am loving this foundation! I have very dry, sensitive skin and this does not irritate or enhance any dry patches on my skin. It gives a beautiful, natural, medium-coverage finish. The color match technician at the store matched me perfectly!
Not oil friendly
I love this brand but this is not oily friendly and you can definitely tell you’re wearing foundation. I wouldn’t recommend for oily skin.
SO good
sooo so nice on the skin. i also think it’s a super underrated foundation. it doesn’t look cakey at all and it’s very much buildable to a more medium/full coverage look, but also can be used for a more natural look. also very hydrating on the skin so if you have dry skin, definitely give this a try!!!!
Gave me light, NOT MEDIUM, coverage
I LOVE the color of this foundation! I'm Irish with fair skin and some spots of rosacea, so a medium coverage foundation that came in such a range of colors and matched my complexion looked great. This is not what I would call a medium coverage foundation, though. It's very thin compared to other medium coverage foundations, even when I tried to build it a bit with another pump of the product, so I just didn't get the medium level of coverage I need. The finish is nice, but I would only...
beautiful foundation!
looove this foundation, it looks beautiful on my skin. I purchased shade 110C but I think i might be the lightest shade 100N so on my next purchase of this foundation I will be trying that shade, overall I personally love this foundation and I'd recommend trying it out.
Messy but great
Great product but LEAKS everywhere! Very messy and hard to work with because of the pump. Love it but wont repurchase because of the leaking issue.
Pretty Good!
I have a very hard time finding foundation that matches my skin and undertone. It would be fantastic if it was slightly cooler but otherwise it is the closest match I've ever had, and it hasn't triggered my acne! I usually apply it with a brush and blend it out with a blender (a cheap paintbrush to be specific because I don't have the heart to buy an expensive foundation brush).
It's no for me.
Tried it, the store I went to did not have my usuals. A rep suggested it, I would have to wait for my regulars to come by mail, so decided to try. The foundation is rough, felt cheap and poor quality.
Love this foundation
This product is my GO TO foundation. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is because color matching was really hard. The shade down was way too dark and the one I use is slightly lighter bcontour
separated on my skin
Wanted to love this but it separated on my skin soooo bad. Also, I didn't even know that it had a pump until I read the reviews lol
Settles into every nook and cranny
Disappointed that a “luminous” foundation would be so dry and settle into creases and lines. This foundation settles into every nook and cranny and ages me. Color is nice.
Poor color choices and very orange...
I'm torn between two and three stars for this one. The foundation itself I actually really love. I haven't experienced the cakey issue others have, and I haven't had the foundation break up on my skin (yet!). The foundation on me has a beautiful natural finish and is medium to full coverage. It really hides any imperfections on my face and doesn't feel heavy. My big issue is with the color range. I am a very light olive and it's so hard to find foundations that match that tone. I was hopeful...
Not for me!
I was disappointed in the foundation. It went on nicely but didn't last all day. It tended to sit in the crease of my nose and my skin looked oily. I did have it color matched but felt the shade paled me out. Plus found the pump very stiff. I will be returning the product.
Love the finish on this foundation. Very luminous. I’m only issue was with the pump. It would get stuck quite often and the product would leak out of it
Just okay, a little too heavy for me
I used the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation in R330 for a few years, but it was discontinued. I also found my skin was changing in my late 40's and wanted to try something less matte and more “luminous.” I had very high hopes for Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation. The color match with 230N is okay, but I don’t think it was perfect. Also, the texture is a bit heavy for me at this point. I've tried it with Too Faced Hangover Replenishing Face Primer, but it sat on top of my skin...
my MUA uses this one on me all the time and had to get it. completely recommend using a primer underneath first, then adding foundation for a perfect finish ❤ loved!
Not for my chaotic skin
I used it 4 times in both warm & extreme cold weather ( California & Alberta ) pros: it looks like skin & very thin formula with medium coverage. Cons: emphasizes skin texture , settles into fine lines, clings to dry patches, dried my skin. I was recommended this product as a dewy foundation but it applied on as a sheer dry finish which my dry combo skin didn’t look good with unfortunately.
Not for me
I really wanted to like this but oof. I felt like it settled into my pores and made them super obvious versus covering. I used my usual primer and it wasn’t buildable at all. I felt like as I added more, it became patchier
110C for very fair cool olives!
SHADE: Usually "cool" denotes pink undertones, but let me tell you: there is zero pink in this foundation. No peach either, & certainly no orange. Just a hint of cool yellow right upon swatching, but sets to a very definite cool olive about 2 minutes later. For reference, my other foundation matches are NARS Gobi, HAUS LABS 050, One Size Turn Up the Base BBB Cream in Fair 1, Smashbox Studio Skin in 1.05, Morphe Filter Effect in Light 4, & Estée Lauder Double Wear in 1N1 is close enough....
GREAT foundation BUT seal/pump has broken twice
LOVE this product. Matches my skin, not dry or too wet. Stays on, it’s wonderful! BUT… The pump/seal has broke on me twice. I already exchanged for one before. Now it’s doing it again. Very frustrating “wasting” product because the seal/pump keeps leaking..
Holy Grail
The best foundation you will ever use. I have compared it to armani luminous silk and it is far superior. Doesn't settle into fine lines brings such a beautiful glow and great coverage 10/10!
A total must have.
Using this for two years now and love it. Great coverage, lightweight, huge colour range and blends perfect.
Not good performance
Got this as a sample,was a very generous sample and loved it at first. A few hours later had it in my cart and was going to purchase but I decided to check it out in the mirror again before buying. As reviewers said, it separted and really made my laugh lines around my mouth pronounced. I decided not to buy, it's too bad, I liked the colors.
Would not buy again
I think this is by far the worst foundation i have tried. The shade match was perfect but it separated badly on my skin. I tried different primers and no matter what it would separate. It sticks on to dry patches even after skin prep.
Good foundation
Overall I really like this foundation for everyday use. Is is a thin formula, spreads easily, and you can have a light or build up the coverage. However, the finish and how long it lasts depends largely on what skin care you use underneath. It also leans more towards a mate finish I would say.
Love it - added it to the rotation!
Brought it on sale and loved it. Now part in my foundation rotation. I change depending on my skin and the weather so I use 4-5 at any given time. Love the natural look it gives. Looks great in natural light.
I use Make Up For Ever (moisturizing) primer before applying. I bought this mainly because they were out of my usual MUFE shade and this was half off ($19.00). It was a little warmer than I was going for but I like it. It is a buildable formula and allows you the option and adjustability from medium to full easily. I like how the foundation stays during my fast-paced and sometimes very hot (sweat-producing) shift in the service industry. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a different...
Buy if you like the dewy/natural finish.
If you like a natural, dewy finish then you’d love this, I unfortunately didn’t. I loved the feel and smell . However, the color they recommended made me look too pink vs golden. It never seemed to dry. It stayed glossy even after setting it and I wasn’t a fan. I ended up returning it but would recommend it to someone else.
Great budget friendly foundation!
For what it costs, it's decent quality. It's like if the my skin but better stuff wasn't so thick. It's light to wear. My only complaint is no matter what, it makes my skin oily. I have naturally dry skin.
My go-to daily foundation
One of the best foundations I’ve used! It looks very natural. I recommend using a primer and setting spray/powder. I have very fair skin that’s combination/dry. I get a little oily throughout the day in my t-zone but overall normal/on the drier side. I use this after Milk Hydrogrip primer and Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer to provide a little extra coverage around my nose, chin, and forehead. With a setting spray, it lasts all day with a dewy, natural finish. With a...
Good Coverage Bad Bottle
This is a good foundation, it blends nicely and the coverage is just the right amount. It leaves the skin soft and doesn't feel heavy. The only complaint I have about the product is that after about 5 hours it begins to become clumpy, especially around your nose and chin, even with primer. In its defence I do not use any setting makeup. The bottle is also a pain, the pump always gets stuck and when you pull it up it brings up a ring of product with it. It is also prone to leaking as the lid...
perfect shade
Love this concealer. It’s super blendable and very natural looking with great coverage!
it’s alright
The foundation is pretty long wearing, not as luminous as I was hoping for though. Color is great match, but the packaging is a pain. I have to pull u the pump every time I push it down.
I wanted to love this foundation so badly. I purchased and had to return not once.. but 4 times because the shades were so yellow. I’ve never had such a hard time color matching a foundation as I have with this foundation. It looked a bit heavy on my skin and cling to dry patches.
Seriously the best foundation I’ve used. I’m not great at makeup so I know what to get. I’ve tried so many drug store foundations and they were a waste of money. They made my make up look caked on and didn’t match. I decided to finally step foot into Sephora and got matched with this Anastasia foundation. I finally found my perfect foundation. Every time I wear it the color and lightness of it is so perfect it looks like I don’t have makeup on. Makes my skin look flawless it’s perfection.
I was told this make up wouldn't run or stick to clothing and it absolutely drips and sticks ans stains everywhere....very disappointing
Didn't like it
The color match was not good. It oxidizes on me and does not wear well throughout the day. I went back to the nars liquid
I like it, but I wouldn't buy it again because the pump is faulty. I went to the store and got a color match and she did match me perfectly. The descriptions don't really match the actual colors, so I would recommend going into the store.
Holy Grail
I have dry/combo skin and this is amazing! First off, I'm insanely pale with a neutral/warm undertone and 100n matches perfectly. I can apply this with my fingers or a sponge and it looks natural either way. I don't like heavy makeup but this is light and looks like skin. Its a medium coverage but thats what I wanted. I've had no issues with the pump either. I reach for this every time I wear makeup because I know it will always look good.
my go-to
This has been my go-to for 3 years now. It’s the only foundation that doesn’t rub off my nose. It does have its cons but it stays dewy so it’s easy to fix up. I will stick with this stuff forever. Love it!
good
It’s medium coverage just enough the pump does get messy but it does it’s job and leaves a nice skin glow
I love this fountain. It feels like my actual skin and it stays all night and even in water it didn’t melt off or make weird clumps. I’ll be definitely buying again!
Not for dry skin
Not my fav but it’s a good foundation. I went into Sephora asking for a foundation for dry skin so they recommended this one! They said it was the best they had for dry skin but it actually dried out my skin more. It was dry and blotchy so I did not like it. I returned it and got the Charlotte Tillbury beautiful skin foundation and love it!
Poor Quality and Super Cakey
I have combination skin and this is super cakey. I moisturize and put on a moisturizing primer and it's still cakey when set. It also made my skin break out. The coverage doesn't conceal small blemishes or redness so it's really poorly formulated
Anastasia, Fix Your Pump
I love this stuff! The finish is gorgeous and it stays put. One star deducted because yikes, the pump design is really as bad as other reviews say; I haven't had it break or overflow into my makeup bag when traveling or anything, but I have to physically pull the pump back up after each time I push it down. You had *one job,* pump!
Unfortunately this wasn’t my color I was upset because it was so smooth and pretty when the lady put it on.
Good foundation but undertones need work
I don’t know why it’s saying 320N but I have this foundation in the color 260N. Based on the way they described it, I thought I picked the right one. While I can still use it use it and get away with it, I wanted one for everyday and the undertones need work. I’m light to medium with neutral undertones. So I just couldn’t go one shade lighter (like 250) I had to jump to 210N and pick pink neutral. Other than the undertones, I love it. Great coverage. I love the luminosity it gives me and...
I love this because it does everything it claims. Not only does it have a nice glow but it's also buildable and can be a full coverage foundation. I got the wrong undertone so it looks light when I first put it on but dries to the perfect shade. It works good for my oily-ish skin but it gets shiny within 4-5 hours however it doesn't cling to dry patches like some foundations that claim to be super matte. I think this is a good product for combination skin however im not sure how it will hold...
I bought this foundation recently and my first day testing it out was 81 and humid. it held up and looked soo pretty and smoothing. I was hesitant to try this for the longest time because of "luminous" but the finish is very pretty and doesn't highlight my oily nose or any fine lines/texture issues. I'm sure I'll be wearing this all spring and summer.
Hated this foundation. Looked cakey after two hours.
Not luminous
I was recommended by the store associate to try this foundation as I was looking for moisturizing foundation. She did matched my skin but when I put it on next day, the shade is way to pale for me. It also caked into creases and my skin looks dry, not luminous. Very dissapointed by this purchase.
Spot-On Shade! 500C
Beautiful finish! Very light and looks gorgeous under my setting powder. I’m so glad I don’t have to mix 2 foundations anymore! My Kelly Rowlands, this is the shade!
just takes the right primer.
Stays on so long, looks pretty natural while covering everything. I have long days and combination skin(oily t zone and chin and dry cheeks) but I work at a restaurant and run all day and sweat and it doesn’t move. There IS slight color change when it drys so just make sure you get the shade that matches for when it drys.
AHmazing
I LOVE this foundation. Let me tell you I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing has gotten such an amazing match for my light skin. It stayed put, did not oxidize and really good buildable coverage. I will be suggesting to all my friends
This foundation is amazing! I was spectacle about this product because I usually tend to go for a matte foundation, as this is a luminous foundation and wow! This did not make a face like oily or "wet'. My face looked hydrated, welcoming and warming. That's the best way to explain it, and I wore it the whole day, no problem. I recommend
doesn’t blend - very cakey
I am not a fan, it doesn’t blend after a couple hours. You can see all your pours. Looks very “cakey” and I have to re-do my entire face of makeup after 2 hours
Must have for dry skin!!!
I love this foundation, it’s one of my go-to’s for nice looking skin. I don’t think the name quite suits it though as it’s more of a natural to SLIGHTLY matte finish than “luminous” or dewy. It’s medium coverage, but it builds up pretty well and despite the slightly misleading name, it works wonderfully for my near Sahara Desert skin and doesn’t cling or settle into any fine lines or dry patches on me. The shade I bought (270C) also suits my olive undertone really well for those who have...
waste of money, pump breaks
Pump broke with more than half the bottle left. Exploded in my makeup bag and now i have to open the entire container anytime I want to use. Horrible design
Pump broke
The pump broke and there was a lot of waste of the product (on the cap as well). Quality control needs to be implemented for the pump.
AMAZING!
Looooooveeeee this product! So hydrating, great colour range. It goes on so smooth and dewy but it greasy looking. I love that it’s water based , I bought this in 2 shades to mix throughout the year. Probably the only Foundation I have kept in since becca aqua luminous days. Very comparable without the mica in it. This feels good on Your face at all times of day, highly recommend.
Returned
This literally emphasized my texture and pores. Returned!
Such a beautiful glowy foundation! It isn’t heavy, would say more medium coverage and isn’t overly dewy!
Amazing Undertone Match!
This has been my go to foundation for six months now and my skin looks beautiful every single time. I like it best when I put it on and I always put powder over it and over time it starts looking luminous when my oil production starts kicking in. Other products work really well on top of this foundation. I always get the best compliments when I wear this foundation. When I run out of this bottle, I will buy it again. No other foundation has matched me the way this one has matched my skintone.
Absolutely love this foundation It lasted me quite a while with just a few pumps I didn’t feel like my face was too much make up on just the right amount I definitely recommend this foundation
Pump Malfunction
A nice foundation, but the pump malfunctioned and caused it to explode all over the place. I lost almost half of the foundation and I had to toss the pump so now I can't close the bottle. Quite disappointing after spending so much on it.
Good foundation but the pump always overflows with each pump. This has never been an issue with any other foundation including drugstore. Pictured is after wiping off already
My new go-to foundation!
I absolutely LOVE this foundation! The shade, the coverage and the finish is so beautiful. This foundation is definitely medium coverage. The finish is a natural-matte but there is also a beautiful glow to it. My skin is normal-dry and my skin loves the formula. I normally use the Fenty Hydrating foundation but I think that this foundation is my new go-to!
This foundation is great for dry skin. It last all day and gives medium coverage.
beautiful finish but slides off
Color matching (130N) is great to my skin tone and the luminous finish looks gorgeous in person but this foundation is only suitable for people who want to wear make up for a picture or video or just for a fun 5 minutes and then wash it off. It slides around and transfers which makes it unwearable if you want to be out with make up on for more than 30 minutes. I haven’t set it with powder but I feel like that would somewhat defeat the point of the luminous glows finish and I have other...
Great foundation
This is definitely my new favorite foundation. This isn’t so thick and it sits on the skin perfectly. The only reason I gave it four stars is for the packaging. The pump always gets stuck when I push and I have to pull it back up. Other than that minor inconvenience the foundation itself is 5/5.
Love it but be careful what primer you use!
I almost didn’t like this foundation because every time I would use it, it would be slimy and transfer very easily. I usually use the milk hydro grip primer. So I found out that this foundation has hydrating elements in the formula already, plus I am combo skin and can get oily easily. So I used a different primer, (benefit porefessional pearl) that wasn’t so hydrating And now, I LOVE IT! It blends beautifully and covers up everything, and it looks so luminous and not drying at all!...
So far, it has become my favorite foundation! Love it!
not for dry skin!
Hugged onto my dry patches and looked so cakey!! I had to return! I moisturized and everything and still made no difference
FINALLY
This is the only foundation I’ve found a perfect shade match in. I am extremely cool and I struggle to find shades with no pink, yellow, or orange in them. Aside from that, the formula wears phenomenally. Natural, but covers very well. I love that I can build it under my eyes with no caking and creasing. A little goes a looooong way. I have tried so many high and low end foundations and this one is by far my favorite. Also, this is underpriced, in my opinion. Thank you, Anastasia, for ending...
Love this foundation so much! Perfect dewiness for my skin.
Love love love this foundation. This is my second buy. And will buy again.
Hydrating enough, not cakey
Ok this matched my skin colour perfectly im crying...It's just enough coverage without looking cakey!! Stays on for hours!! ( i also use fix plus setting spray). It's hydrating without having a wet feeling like fenty beauty foundation for example. I have more dry skin, and this is a heavenly product. It's been a week of wearing it and i have a foundation for LIFE..THANK YOUUUUUUUU
Got a sample of this and it's a great, light-weight foundation that still offers a very good amount of coverage
tricky to find shade
I would’ve gave 5 stars if it wasn’t a bit tricky to find a shade. I never got a C for a foundation shade so I was quite surprised it was a perfect match, definitely a very skin but better foundation, you can build up to cover more but it won’t show up as cakey and too extreme full coverage as other foundations. Definitely a good pick up and glad I chose this over the too faced born this way
Beats Charlotte Tillbury
I just bought this and compared to a sample of the Charlotte Tillbury Beautiful Skin in 2 Neutral. I think this already beats hudabeauty, lancome matte & charlotte tillbury even by 20 minutes. I only used setting spray and this has less transfer than charlotte. Charlotte is already settling into texture and separating on my nose. Does not set down all the way either. Hudabeauty and Lancôme matte are both nice on application but after setting they already start drying out. I think if you want...
Color was spot on and I'm fair skinned redhead hard to match wears well I'm dry combo Tatacha primer
I love it. Gives a nice color, not so greasy. I have dry skin and use a nyx primer. But a lot of people say they use this product and have oily skin so that’s great that this foundation can work with different skin types !!
Broken bottle!
I really like the foundation. Good coverage and not too matte for my aging skin. Nice dewy finish. I’m giving 3 stars because the glass bottle is way too fragile. I have broken two bottles both on the first use just by tapping them on my bathroom vanity counter. Too risky to buy another.
Fix the pump!!
I’m 50-something, and I LOVE this foundation for its application, buildable coverage, and wear, but I’m frustrated by the pump, which dysfunctions and leaks almost immediately upon opening. I keep buying it for the quality of the foundation, but I’m becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of quality in packaging. I travel, so leaks are a problem, and having to pull up the pump after every use just irks me. First world problem, I know, but it seems like an easy fix.
Nice product, hard to find a shade
I find this product goes on well. It’s creamy without being sticky, and gives a natural finish - not too shiny and not too matte. I would repurchase this product. My only complaint so far is that it was quite difficult to find a shade. There aren’t many options and of course pictures of swatches on someone’s arm doesn’t really help you pick a shade anyway. I was also confused by the description of some of the shades - for example 160C being described as “cool golden” which are opposites. I...
I like it
I’m 130N in Lancôme teint idole, when I did the shade match it said I would be a 220N in this, but I decided to order the 160C as well. The 220N is waaay too dark and yellow, even the 160C is darker and more yellow. However, I decided to mix equal parts 160C from ABH with my 130N from Lancôme, and wow! The finish is beautiful, not too matte or luminous. I had a bit of colour transfer on my nose from wearing a mask, but otherwise the combo wears exceptionally well. I think I’ve finally found...
I LOVE this foundation
I am absolutely in love with this foundation! I initially got it because I just wanted to try it out and now I don't think I'll ever want to buy another foundation, this gives me such a natural and dewy finish and makes my skin look flawless. This is also a foundation that I was able to find my exact skin tone which is so rare and it doesn't make my skin look or feel dry either. love love love!
Nice foundation, a bit patchy
I ordered this without being able to shade test in store but the match was perfect! Thanks beauty advisors! The first thing I noticed was how smoothly it goes on and how just one layer is very sheer yet totally covers my redness. That's impressive. I added another layer to build it up but I like how it evens skin tone without requiring a ton of product. I sense this bottle will last a long time. It feels a bit cakey at first but soon feels natural which I also love. The one thing I noticed...
One of the best foundations I have used! Its gotta a natural blendable finish and I have gotten a lot of compliments on how it looks!
I love this foundation even though it’s a little too dark for my shade, it’s one of the best foundations I’ve ever used! It goes on so smooth and has excellent coverage. I definitely recommend!!
It's okay
This dried out my already dry skin. The foundation settled into my fine lines and was difficult to blend. Unfortunately I had to return it.
Great for dry skin
Love this foundation for my dry flaky skin, I use this with the cover fx dewy skin primer, and it stays dewy even around my chin and mouth where I get dry spots as the day goes on.
The actual Fits all
Perfect for both dry and moist skin, stays on all day and blends in flawlessly. It fills my pores and make it look like I have a barbie dolls skin (This is coming from a very bad acne and bad pores)
Love this
I love this foundation covers my dark spots, and last pretty long without making my oily skin look greasy
Yes! This is the one!
This is my go-to! It is the only foundation I have found that looks amazing on my dry skin. It gives me a healthy glow finish. It is medium coverage but can be built up. I even mix it with my moisturizer or Glowscreen when I want a light coverage look.
My favorite foundation for the fall/ winter!
I got this foundation to replace the tinted moisturizer I use in the warmer months and I love it! I have dry skin and this foundation goes on silky smooth without leaving my skin feeling dry and dull. It blends easily and it is buildable which lets you get the amount of coverage you desire. The color blends perfectly into my skin, it doesn’t look like I’m wearing foundation at all.
Worst foundation I have ever Used
I have very dry skin and was talked into buying this foundation at sephora because it was supposed to be super hydrating. This foundation applies extremely cakey and uneven and emphasizes all of my wrinkles. If i slightly rub the foundation on my skin it becomes sheer and you can see all uneven skin tone underneath. Really do not understand why this product even exists. Glad to see I am not the only one that feels this way as I have seen some other reviews with similar comments.
cakey cake
I got this as a sample from my lady Sephora order and I tried it next morning after doing my skin care routine and it caked immediately on my face. It legit went on like cake. I wonder if I just got a bad sample but it for sure did not make me want to buy jt. I tried 3 of the colors on the card to see They did the same thing and they did
?? Um what? Trying to figure out what the main goal was at making this product. Is isnt luminous.. so that is one false claim. It’s pretty flat looking and dries super mat showing all imperfections on face because it is such a sticky product, hard to put on because it blends the way a thick concealer might. On the positive side, I found the perfect shade for my pale skin (the lightest shade) and when on skin it feels like there’s nothing there, not really oilly or anything of that nature and...
Great if you want to look 10+ years older.
Good if you want to look 10+ years older than your actual age. It creases horribly and doesn't quite set on my skin, even after using setting spray. It transfers badly and it feels sticky like it doesn't quite dry. I was really disappointed with this seeing as ABH has other really good products, just not their foundation I guess. I honestly feel like my money was thrown down the drain with this product, and it's not a cheap foundation either. I should have just stuck with Estee Lauder Double...
Not amazing but alright, I would not recommend to anyone with oily skin though
Love this foundation! I have super dry skin and this product doesn’t make my skin flaky and it also looks smooth on my skin. A little goes a long way which is also nice, and I feel like it blends really easily.
Good for dry skin
I have dry skin, and this foundation doesn’t dry it out more. This foundation sits well on my skin and allows me to set my face with powder without drying it out.
I really wanted to like the product as it said it was good for oily skin. But it didn’t work out. I needed to use blotting papers and refresh within 2 hours of checking up on my makeup. I decided to return. Customer service didn’t process a refund because “the product was more than gently used” and kept the product. For future references I’ll just keep what I doesn’t work as I’ll still be charged.
I like the foundation, although it is a little shiny.
I love this foundation. Perfect for older skin. I’m mid fifties and it is not too heavy or light. Color spot on.
FINALLY!!
Finally a product that provides full coverage without multiple applications. It’s lightweight, breathable and doesn’t transfer. Also, the finish was so smooth my skin looked like so even and perfect. I have eczema and an oily skin mix this worked perfectly in both areas.
Great foundation
For me a little goes a long way. It's a nice, creamy and easy to apply.
patchy, not long lasting, broke me out
Looked nice when you first put it on, decent coverage, but came off on my nose and chin. Skin started to peel around my mouth, very patchy. It also made me break out so I had to return it.
not for me
I was recommended this by a Sephora employee as a luminous foundation. I was excited about it but boy was I wrong! The foundation is chalky on my skin, settles into every fine line and didn’t blend at all. I had to wash it off! Will be returning this, drugstore makeup is better.
The shade matched my skin tone fine. At first it looked really nice and dewey but afterwards it dried down and it didn’t seem to dry my skin out too much nor did it look to matte or dewey it just didn’t have any dimension or just kinda looked flat.
TRASH
Did not wear well, creased, skin looked old, and on top of that, it made me break out!!
returned
I would agree with the reviews that this foundation clings to dry area, patchy, creases, cakes. I’ll be returning
settles into pores and lines SO BAD!!
Oh my gosh the pores! It made my face look like a rough gravel road. It settles into EVERYTHING!! It feels good but that’s the only good thing I can say. I look so much older with this foundation!
Light buildable coverage. I used to use the tarte foundcealer until it was discontinued. This is a great replacement. It matches my skin tone perfectly
Creamy
ANASTASIA Beverly Hills Magic Touch Concealer I love this concealer! It blurs and really is magic to me. It's a lightweight product that is really creamy and melts into my skin. I tested it out on my hand first and then tried to wash it off with soap and water and it didn't come off at all. I need makeup remover to remove it all. It was waterproof that's for sure. I love it! It blends into my skin really well and matches my skin tone. The packaging is beautiful and the texture. Any flaw on...
This is excellent foundation for mature skin. The best
This Foundation is Fantastic .
I cannot live with out leaving a review on this product. I never used foundation in my life . I really do want to use but i dont like the foundation if it is cakey . But this is really too good and looks toooo Natural .
Highly Recommend!
This is an amazing product! It doesn’t pill or smudge. I’ve used it for all types of looks ranging from very minimal light use to heavy glam (which needed to last all day and night). I’ve used it as a concealer under powder. And have been impressed with its utility and durability every time. This is not a wasteful product - a little goes a long way. Which is something I appreciate. I love the way it looks both in person and in my pictures!
I love this foundation. I was using Fenty for a while, but the shade was off (probably my fault) and my skin type changed from being oily to dry but with a lot of breakouts, so I didn’t need a matte finish. While Anastasia is not clean as a brand, I believe this is a clean product and does not irritate my skin. The color is seamless- my boyfriend used to tell me I needed to blend more, but no more! It leaves a natural finish, not matte, and lasts all day. I use with tarte powder and...
The color matching is good, but the product cakes throughout the day and the bottle leaks.
where have u been all my life
I've been searching for this! So I prefer a natural glowy doesn't feel like you're wearing makeup kind of a look, radiant yet gives coverage, kind of how every tinted moisturizer or bb cream should look.. this is IT! Also cruelty free & has an amazing shade range. This is a must have for combo sensitive acne prone skin!
leaking bottle
I really like this foundation. What drives me crazy is the bottle! It leaks like crazy. I’ve tried tightening the lid before. The spout also locks after one push so I have to pull it back up to get more product. This has been a consistent problem
This foundation is one of my absolute favorites! I like medium coverage foundations because I don’t like how heavy and cakey full coverage foundations can look and feel. This foundation isn’t too heavy and doesn’t appear cakey on my skin which is great because most foundations appear emphasize texture and look cakey on my dry skin.
get this asap
Love this product finally a foundation that matches me
not good!!!
very cakey, gets darker when applied to the skin, doesnt hold throught the day, etc etc. dont waste your money!!!
do NOT recommended!! extremely disappointed
Was really excited to try this foundation, mostly due to the great reviews but the shades are not great, oxidized so much and looks very cakey on the skin. I primed my skin like i always do and it left some weirf looking patches on my skin, im not sure if it just didn’t go well with my primer but either way, the color isn’t great, swatched a few and all turned orange.
Love this foundation.
Smooth, and easy to blend. It was also a perfect match when it came to skin tone. Usually it’s hard for me to find my shade but this was a miracle lol.
Good coverage, doesn't flake
I'm using it to replace Water Blend from Make Up For Ever. It is much thicker so it doesn't spread as easily, but it provides a good coverage. Doesn't flake which most product do on my skin. Overall satisfied.
No for me
I wanted to love this so much, and When I fist started using it I kinda did. But now I must say, the only thing I love about this foundation is the way the color matches my skin so perfectly. That’s the only reason for the two stars. Otherwise, this Is possibly one of the worst foundations I’ve used thus far! First off, the pump is pure TRASH! It doesn’t pump back up like it’s supposed to when trying to dispense the foundation and that’s fairly annoying! Also, doesn’t go on too smoothly,...
Love this!!
I love this product! It works great for my dry skin. It gives me the perfect amount of coverage and looks so natural. I think I found my new staple foundation!
Great product
Great foundation for dry skin, love the finish easy to blend
This is the absolute, undisputed worst foundation I have ever used. No matter what I did and what primer/tool I used I could NOT get it to work for me. It highlights every dry flake or strand of peach fuzz, exaggerates lines, looks orangey and cakes so badly. It honestly wears like an expired bottom shelf drugstore foundation. I went in to buy the makeup forever hd foundation and they were out in my shade, so the associate recommended this. Please spare yourself and do not buy this.
It takes time to love
It took me awhile to like this foundation. I wish it was a little bit more luminous like it says. It drys mat and can make you look very dry if you do not hydrate the heck out of our skin. It falls into creases. But I keep using it because I just can't seem to find anything I like ever since they discontinued my favorite Nars foundation and they changed the formula to My old favorite Tarte Amazon clay foundation. Why I keep going back to this is because it stays a long time and doesn't wear...
Works Well
Beautiful color and coverage. A little too dewy for my taste, but a little powder fixes this for me. My biggest issue is the bottle design. You can't travel with it - it ALWAYS leaks, no matter how tightly you have the lid on. If it's not standing up right, it will leak all of the place. Please fix!
Wow!
I picked up a sample of this in a recent Sephora order and honestly didn’t have high hopes. I have oily/dehydrated skin with rosacea, so finding a foundation that can tackle all of that is next to impossible. But so far I’m impressed! It has a gorgeous, silky smooth finish that covers my redness. Just a few dots around the face is all I need. Super lightweight and comfortable, didn’t need to set with powder, and it held up for most of the day. It reminds me a lot of Armani Luminous Silk,...
New go-to foundation!!
I love this product - oil-free and layers really really well. Has great coverage around my acne and scars, yet yields a natural finish.
LOVE.. but pump stopped working
I love this foundation and the coverage it gives me. After about a month of use the pump stopped working and gets stuck. The shade is a little light for me but easily buildable with bronzer for a natural finish.
One of my favorites
Very silky and blendable. Beautiful dewy finish. I do have dehydrated, combination skin so this is my favorite for the cold months when my skin is at its dryest.
The color is a little warm for me. I’d describe my skin as fair neutral and this leans more yellow but I’ve been able to make it work. I’d say it’s a medium coverage, which is fine with me because I don’t wear foundation on the daily. It settles into the lines around my nose a little but otherwise looks pretty good.
i have fair skin with neutral undertones. pro: don’t need as much product i felt like all i need is 3-4 small pumps for light/med coverage. So in general for my coverage type i don’t have to use as much product. when i have redness it does cover it for me, might have to dab a little more in some red spots. it covers my freckles but looking up close you can still see it showing through. pretty sure you can build up for it to be more coverage but you’ll have to wait until the first layer is...
THE BEST FOUNDATION
This foundation is by far my favorite and it’s the perfect match! I’ve tried the Huda Beauty foundation and it didn’t work at all, considering the fact that I was matched twice. ABH over exceeded my expectations because I went to get matched at Macy’s FIRST and then bought it at Sephora. Let me tell you this foundation is soooo bomb and I love how luminous it is. Looks like skin! ! Love it
don't recommend
I prep my skin before using it and it stllcracked, it left a very cakey and dry. one of the worst foundations I've ever used.
One of my favorite foundations ever probably! It’s so beautiful!
This foundation isn't perfect, but I'm on my third bottle and I think I'll stick to it for a while. Having a very pale skin with yellowish/cold/neutral undertones, it's super rare for me to find a foundation that matches my skin. A Sephora employee helped me find my shade and made me try it, and I instantly fell in love with the dewy, skin-like (despite a pretty good coverage) finish of this product. It DOES transfer quite a lot, but using a setting spray helps. It's also buildable and never...
WOW!! Best foundation ever!! 100% color match!
Wow this is the first foundation that I have ever tried that is a 100% color match!! it is absolute perfection! I use a teeny drop to get a no makeup my skin but, better look. I can go heavy if needed. All the makeup on top lays beautifully. I don't use primer or setting spray and it lasts beautifully throughout the day. PERFECT, PERFECT foundation. oh and it does not clog my pores or cause breakouts. Really the best - for me this beats Fenty, Dior, YSL, Hourglass, Givenchy, Becca, KVD,...
Meh.....
So this was the first ever “high end” foundation I’ve tried. Builds to a medium coverage with like 4 pumps- I rather have a foundation be medium coverage with 2 pumps, in order to conserve more product. Pump broke after the second use which is so annoying. The good things about this foundation are that it is like my exact skin color shade/depth and undertone, which is pretty rare for me to find. The finish is beautiful and even without powder, I find this lasts on my combo skin all day...
Kind of sticky when you first apply it. I’m brown skin and this shade just made me absolutely ashy. I would post a picture but sis, just trust me. It’s a no for me. New to make up and this is the third time I’ve gone to Sephora and they’ve picked the wrong shade or brand for me. Can literally anyone else help a girl out?
It was pretty good
Although I had an employee help me fund my share, it was a little too dark. But, no big deal, it was a great foundation, but my pores were very visible with it on. I still would buy it again though.
Run, don’t walk
Let me start by saying - this is not a foundation you just slap on and go out with. You MUST prep your skin correctly to get the full benefit but man, if you do it does wear beautifully. Great coverage and glowy and I can wear it for 8 hours at least with no touch up. Feels so good on, not heavy at all.
Absolutely not
This is honestly one of the worst foundations I have tried. Left dry patchy looking places on my face.
So. Very mixed feelings about this product. I typically use the Makeup Forever HD foundation, but ran out and Sephora was out of my shade, and I needed a foundation that day. On one hand, the shade matches very well. The coverage is higher than that of the Makeup forever, to the point that I went way overboard the first time. The first day I tried it, it gave me a very flawless, medium-full coverage look that I loved. What I can't stand about this product though is it seems to have "moods"....
Love it!
I’m dry skin type. This product hydrates my skin and also leaves me a dewy finish with full coverage. One of my top 3 foundations! Dry skin friendly!!
HOLY GRAIL FOR DRY SKIN
my skin gets really dry when i’m wearing makeup but NOT with this foundation. 10/10 would recommend
Beautiful finish and wear
It’s buildable for medium coverage and has a lovely natural finish. It’s similar to Armani luminous IMO. It wears exceptionally well - skin gets dewey but not greasy and it doesn’t get cakey. A light dusting of powder is all that’s needed to set it for hours. The 120W shade works perfect for my fair olive skin (for ref I wear MAC NC05 and Kevyn Aucoin sx03). It’s a neutral warm shade that seems quite versatile and the formula manages to cover redness and blemishes yet let your natural...
favorite new foundation
10/10. I have more dry/textured skin. This may be my favorite foundation ever. My skin looks so soft and flawless and lasts beautifully.
