Did nothing for oil

I have an oily face. I saw reviews that this foundation was great for my skin types. I put it on and it was such a perfect match I couldn’t see where I put it on my face. That’s the only positive. Within 3 hours my face was so incredibly oily it looked like I washed my face. I went through 3 blotting papers. I always prep my face before putting makeup on and no other foundation has been like this.

kpla12346 Verified May 05, 2024

Looks good with fine lines!

So far I love this. It goes on, and blends really nicely. It has a very nice medium coverage that doesn’t accentuate my fine lines!

faesXinspo Jan 20, 2025

Smooth and stunning

Love this! Very acne prone and lots of redness to the skin and this blurred everything! It feels very lightweight and smooth plus the coverage is very buildable. Ps. My neck and chest never tans so yes two tones but I love🫶🏼

critterbuglove Mar 31, 2024

gorgeous formula

I wore this all day today from 10am-6pm. I went to lunch and then took the dogs out on an easy trail. this foundation truly lasts all day, doesn't budge, and doesn't show texture like some of my other foundations (givenchy and too faced peach). I am in love with this formula. now I'll test it in Jamaica to see how it holds up in heat!

yueln Nov 15, 2025

Great for people with texture and peach fuzz

This foundation lasts so long! It's not too thick and sets as it dries, and not in a powdery way like Nars or Maybelline Fit Me. That's why it's so good doesn't cling to peach fuzz or skin texture. Natural finish good for combo skin without moving like some of the more hydrating foundations. :)

theatereater Verified Jul 01, 2025

The PERFECT foundation

I have incredibly sensitive skin, oily and a good amount of redness to it as well. This has become my ride or die foundation. I ordered it for my wedding after trying it a few times all day. My redness is absolutely gone but you still can see my freckles through it. My skin has a healthy amount of shine and the color match is undetectable. I will be getting myself a winter shade because I truly cannot live without this.

zoneill Jun 05, 2025

Perfect for light days and oily skin!

I love this foundation! I use it on light makeup days or when I know I’ll be sweating. It works really well with my oily skin — I don’t have to do much to keep my pores from looking clogged. It blends in beautifully and feels super comfortable. My shade is 1Y18, but for some reason, it doesn’t show up as an option here.

BriNov Nov 27, 2024

Was a holy grail, but not anymore . Bye MUFE.

After 8 years of using MUFE foundation line, I’m out forever. There was an absolutely terrible reformulation of the product that made the coloring far too dark, shows every imperfection, and gives zero coverage.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is thee best color match on a foundation I’ve ever had, I love it. I wore it all day in July pregnant walking around outside at a nature center (with setting powder) and this photo is after all that.

Unfortunately this makeup is not for Middle Aged women. It defines pores and wrinkles . It also is blotchy after a few hours.

Streaky going on and dries quickly so you have to work fast. It seemed to cling to my dry patches even though I have oily skin. Also felt heavy throughout the day, not a comfortable wear. I couldn't wait to wipe it off at the end of the day.

Shea25177 Feb 22, 2026

Expensive. Better options out there.

Tried this in 1N06 thinking the price was much less than MAC. The sales girl used Sephora technology and told me this shade equalled MAC's N4.5: not the case, more pink and darker than MAC N4.5. I wanted a lower-priced full coverage matte foundation comparable to MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control (N4.5). Sephora's is a medium shine+matte foundation: less coverage and matte than my MAC favorite. The pump always leaves excess that dries under the application tip...

One of my go to foundations. I try every foundation practically and I always end up repurchasing this because it really is a good overall foundation. I usually have to blend two different shades but overall just such a good foundation

MsNuuuudee Verified Feb 18, 2026

My everyday go to!

Love this foundation!!! Provides natural-looking coverage that truly looks like skin. It evens out redness and dark spots without feeling heavy or cakey, and it layers well without settling into fine lines. It wears smoothly throughout the day, doesn’t crease, and most importantly hasn’t caused any breakouts or irritation on my combination skin. It’s the perfect balance of strong coverage and a breathable, skin-like finish.

patricianicolee Verified Feb 17, 2026

Did not work for textured skin

Had high hopes for this one and was happy to get it on sale. However, it leaked so bad and the instructions said to shake before use, but when I do that it just leaks from the pump itself and where the cap connects to the bottle. I have textured skin and acne prone combo skin, and this just did not provide enough coverage or blurring as I liked. Covered up to about 30% of my texture. It was also very watery, much different from when I tried it in store so had to return. Great shade range...

Must have

I always come back to this foundation—it’s perfect for my dry-combination skin, especially for long workdays. The finish is so beautiful that I’d happily wear it to special events as well. It stays put, wears really well throughout the day, and gives great coverage without ever looking cakey. I consistently get compliments on my skin whenever I wear this, which says it all.

SkinDeepJules Feb 04, 2026

Very Cakey - it's a big fat no

Foundation is super cakey. The more layers you add, the cakier it looks. It may have something to do with it not being compatible with my skin routine, but I'm obviously not changing my skin routine to accommodate a foundation. I haven't found this to be a problem with Chanel, Armani, and Nars foundations/tints.

OlaplexFallout Jan 23, 2026

Skin looks like it’s cracking!

Tried a free sample. Very drying to the point of exaggerating & highlighting wrinkles I’ve never noticed before. Patchy, powdery coverage if you don’t blend quickly enough. Could work for extremely oily skin and maybe a primer could help. I use a good skincare routine & most foundations work okay for me. . Skin.Thenrihjt

Amazing foundation

I really love everything about this foundation. My skin looks perfect. It dries pretty fast just fyi. It has a scent that's not overly offensive and the texture is very creamy. Makeup forever doesn't disappoint but if you're a dry girlie I wouldn't recommend it unless you hydrate and use a hydrating primer.

I unfortunately purchased 2 bottles because it’s the only foundation I use and never expected it to be this bad. The new shades are nothing like the old ones and have so much yellow/ orange in them. My old when use to blend seamlessly. I would always get complicated on it when I wore it. This new...

Fishcakess Verified Nov 26, 2025

Perfect for Oily Skin

Perfect choice for people who like a skin-like finish but still need some coverage! With most “natural finish” foundations, the coverage is too sheer to really help with blemishes. However, I found that I don’t really need too much concealer to go along with it, since it covers just enough. Other than that, I find It holds up through the day nicely and isn’t easily broken down by oil buildup, and it’s quite comfortable to wear.

Great coverage without heaviness!

The HD Skin Foundation has such a beautiful natural finish — it blends seamlessly and really looks like skin. I love how lightweight it feels while still giving solid medium coverage that’s buildable. It smooths pores nicely without settling into lines and holds up well through the day. If you like that natural, flawless, second-skin look, this is an amazing option.

Would return it if I lived closer

I bought this foundation because I have very oily skin and it’s marketed as a matte, medium-coverage formula — but honestly, it was really disappointing. It actually performs worse than a regular skin tint. No matter how I applied it (brush, sponge, fingers, primer/no primer, different moisturizers), it always dried down looking crispy, patchy, and overly dry. It clings to texture and somehow makes my skin look dull and greasy at the same time. If I didn’t live so far from a store, I’d...

I’m always trying new foundations but this is the one I keep coming back to. I have oily skin and this is the foundation that looks the best at the end of a long day.

meiolokka Oct 31, 2025

I was really disappointed with this concealer. The texture is too watery, and it doesn’t give good coverage. When I apply it, it just sits on the skin instead of blending in nicely. The finish looks patchy and uneven, no matter how much I try to blend it. Definitely not what I expected — I wouldn’t buy it again.

Van77 Verified Oct 13, 2025

I had high hopes for this foundation but it was SO bad on my skin! I have normal / combo skin and this foundation made it looks dry and oily at the same time. It also separated a lot and disappeared after a few hours. Had to return it.

I always come back to this foundation, and I’m not sure why I ever think there is a better one out there. I have oily acne prone skin and I like a medium to full coverage finish. When I first started wearing foundation this was the one and suggested to me by a Sephora employee and I loved it then. Now 10 years later I’m back upset I ever stopped using this foundation in the first place. I bartend and sweat and and quite oily and this is the only foundation that stands a chance.

Flawless!

WOW! I was looking for a foundation with more coverage than my usual summer serum, and this one exceeded my expectations. The coverage is the perfect balance—medium yet easily buildable—and it works beautifully on my dry skin. At 43 with rosy undertones, I’ve never had a foundation make my skin look this flawless. My routine is simple: exfoliating toner in the morning, a light moisturizer, and no primer—and this foundation still applies effortlessly with a blender. It’s fantastic!

New favorite for oily skin

This foundation was a quick love for me. I have oily skin, acne prone skin and some fine lines/wrinkles. As someone who usually goes for matte and full coverage, this looks and feels so great on the skin that it doesn’t make me miss full coverage. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for something with medium coverage and lightweight natural finish.

Deseepooh Jul 25, 2025

I really like this foundation !

I really love this foundation very lightweight and easy to blend and at least for me when using it, I noticed that I didn’t have to use much concealer because of the coverage. I live in Vegas and it’s held up pretty good in the humidity with the right powder. My only issue with the foundation is I wish I would’ve gotten in the shade darker but it did oxidize so it wasn’t a big difference. But I’m confident with the sex shade match that my liquid would’ve been even better.

Great Wear, Natural Finish

This foundation from Makeup Forever really impressed me! The coverage is buildable, blends effortlessly, and gives a smooth, skin-like finish. It wore beautifully throughout the day without feeling heavy or cakey. I’m knocking off one star only because it settled slightly into fine lines after several hours, but overall, it’s a solid pick for everyday wear or glam looks. Would definitely consider repurchasing!

This foundation has a lightweight texture with solid, buildable coverage and a long-wearing, waterproof matte finish. It’s ideal for those who want a flawless, stay-in-place base—especially for long days or events. However, it’s not a product I personally reach for. While I respect the formula, it tends to settle into fine lines and creases throughout the day, especially around the eyes and smile lines.

High quality

It’s a long lasting foundation which looks amazing! I like natural finish, so I don’t apply full coverage. However, I think people who love full glam will love this foundation too because it can give them that coverage.

Love the build-ability! Wish it had worked out.

Love the coverage but this product caused a little bump breakout on my skin. I suffer with hyperpigmentation and cannot risk any new discoloration. Wish it had worked out better.

Simply skip it

The first time you use it, you might be tempted to buy the product because of the dewy finish that makes your face look fresh and radiant—that’s exactly why I ended up purchasing it. However, in less than an hour, all your pores become extremely noticeable, and it has absolutely no coverage, not even a slight one. In fact, after a while, it even makes your face look dull. I’d say this product isn’t worth even a third of its selling price.

jenniepv Verified Feb 14, 2025

Terrible product. for face

Everytime I use this i feel like I putting plaster on my face. Also hard to remove. and the color made me look like a ghost. Definitely not worth the money

ON POINT SHADE MATCHING FOR MY SKIN

No flashback does not oxidize buildable coverage to full coverage absolutely love this. I do recommend I did put my sister on this and she ended up buying it and we both love it. I use it with the water-based primer and a good moisturizer before hand. Love it.

Used to be my favorite

This was my holy grail foundation and they have changed the formula and the way it burnt my skin and was so oily. They need to switch it back to the old formula I don’t know why brands do this!

HD Dream!!!!

I am inlove with this HD foundation! With my Melanin it covers and matches me so well I don’t need to mix it with anything else!! I can’t say enough good things about the Make Up For Ever foundation—it’s truly a game-changer for me! As someone with deep brown skin, finding a foundation that not only matches my tone perfectly but also enhances my natural beauty is rare, and this product does it effortlessly. The shade I use blends seamlessly with my skin, giving me a flawless, natural look...

jooleyah Jan 23, 2025

Would be better for less oily skin types

There was nothing matte about this foundation:( My skin’s super oily, and I was hoping to find a foundation that would make my face less oily but still look natural. While this definitely looked natural, I also looked like a greaseball at the end of the day.

Bea742 Jan 21, 2025

My all-time favourite!

This is my favourite mascara and quite literally the ONLY ONE I’ve ever tried that works for my skin. I have combination skin and it looks great on dry. medium, and oily skin. It minimizes the look of fine lines and gives a very youthful appearance.

annap0106 Verified Jan 21, 2025

I like it

I really like this! I’m extremely oily and this lasts pretty well on my skin. Shade range is quite good, at least for me.

KarsenKayla01 Jan 20, 2025

Not waterproof

Nice light consistency, and definitely buildable, but NOT WATERPROOF , had two tears run from my eyes (not even a full cry) and distinctive tear lines stripped the foundation off my face. Will be returning. Definitely maybe okay for normal skin but as an oily girly I prefer Dior matte foundation or the Nars soft matte

Wiktorek Verified Jan 19, 2025

New formula is horrible

They changed the shades! The new one, that supposed to be the same shade, is more yellow. The foundation cakes on my face and doesn’t blend in anymore. It looks horrible. It feels extremely dry on my skin and looks like expired fondant. You lost a customer!

amandamorris236 Jan 12, 2025

The worst foundation I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t blend into your skin, it cakes in between lines, it doesn’t mix well with any of my other products. It finishes like chalk and has the driest feel on your face while you wear it. Do not waste your money.

BrendaLisa Dec 29, 2024

Definitely

I loved this foundation so much that I used it all. I used to be a Professional Makeup Artist and buy a lot products even now. This has a natural finish perfect for corporate girlies that want a bit of coverage without looking cakey.

Magic fairy dust

I hate the look of foundation in skin, but have adult acne and some fine lines. This, however, is some magic stuff. You cannot tell I am wearing anything, even up close. No pore magnifying, no texture, just smooth, flawless skin.

I liked the product a lot. Great coverage and texture.

lemonbergamot Dec 11, 2024

beautiful, but maybe not for normal-dry skin.

a fantastic foundation for oily or hydrated skin, but maybe not for normal to dry skin. lightweight feel, good coverage. I rubbed at my skin with black fabric and literally nothing transferred. my skin is on the normal side of dry, I'm in my 30s, and I live in a cold dry climate, so it definitely accentuated dryness and fine lines. It looks incredible in photos, though. So if you're taking photos, I strongly recommend it.

Skip it if You Need Coverage

I just tried this product and am pretty shocked by the “full coverage” claim. It’s medium at best and from my experience, I couldn’t even build it to be full coverage. You also have to use tons of product to cover the whole face.

rissyroooo Dec 08, 2024

Must have

If you’re looking for a sign to buy it this is it. I have a hard time with foundation oxidizing shortly after applying but not only applies beautifully but doesn’t oxidize on my skin or sink into my pores. I have tried so many differnt brands but this will always be one of my makeup staples. When I wear this product I always been so beautiful

Not the best for dry skin

I was recommended this foundation because I have skin slightly dry, however it just didn’t work. Applying it with moisturizer or primer or sunscreen or without all of these made absolutely no difference , my skin looked awful and pilled no matter what. It also would tranfer like crazy. Don’t recommend this at all.

My fav foundation

I’ve been using this foundation for years and this is by far the best I’ve used. It’s lightweight, but still has great coverage and gives a matte finish. It’s buildable, but a little goes a long way. I highly recommend! I do have dry, acne prone skin and this works very well.

Hate this formulation. MUFE Ultra HD has always been my slam dunk foundation. This "skin" version is so drying and patchy. Build up is terrible and makes things worse. It made me breakout after three days of wearing it. I don't even get acne. Wish I could return the two shades I bought. Have to find a dupe to their old formula now.

itsananotanna Verified Aug 29, 2024

Doesn't wear well, especially on oily skin.

Initially looked really good when first applied, I'd say its light/medium coverage as I could still see some redness from acne. It's really liquidy so I needed about 3-4 pumps to cover my whole face. It didn't hold up well on my skin (which is oily) it transfers like crazy, makeup kept getting all over the collar of my shirt.

The shade match was ok, but I needed better coverage. I found that the foundation was a bit watery. It was not undetectable and although I applied it sparingly on my forehead, it was very distinct.

Too heavy

I found the texture finish of this to be far too heavy, looking cakey and exaggerating the appearance of pores. Definitely not what I'd expect from a foundation touting that it is good for on HD film. Shade range is also inadequate. I'm not the palest of the pale, but the lightest shade they offer is me in summer, so that could use some adjustments.

Do the prep and it stays all night.

Best with a moisturizing primer underneath or a little facial oil underneath. Set well with powder. If I don’t do this it moves around. But it goes on really nice and stays nice with the right prep.

The coverage was disappointing; despite being labeled as medium coverage, it barely concealed any imperfections. Additionally, it made my skin dry, even though I have oily combination skin and was using the appropriate primer. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this foundation and I won’t be repurchasing it in the future. I had to return it

Dehydration in a bottle

Worst foundation I have tried so far, I purchased this and tried it out alone, different skin prep, different primers, diff ways of applying etc. it makes you look so dehydrated. It takes my glowy skin and makes it into a cakey mess. Terrible.

avag134 Apr 27, 2024

Good foundation for coverage and lasts all day. Definitely recommend for a full coverage look

Skin like finish

I have used almost the entire product !Love it !The longevity is not the best but it is still a great product with a skin like finish.

LMichelleL Apr 25, 2024

It's a no for me

I received this as a sample. First, the ivory colour is described as "fair to light skin tones with neutral undertones." It was very orange on me and way too dark. Second, it did not work well with my skin. It looked promising in the first thirty seconds of application but quickly became very cakey, almost powdery. It did not have a natural finish at all. It sat on top of my skin and was suuuper drying which exaggerated all of my fine lines and texture. I would not recommend this foundation,...

jennysweetglow Apr 23, 2024

I’m a makeup artist and I really like this foundation it’s easy to work with and it leaves a beautiful finish. Full coverage . Compared to other high end foundations though I will say it has more natural skin finish and like a high end

Never buy it if you haven’t tried it

I am really very disappointed, as a make up artist I eill Never suggest to buy it, no hd effect , the other one was perfect, that is why I decided to buy it , so sad to wast my money on it

wozo44 Apr 22, 2024

Not the greatest

This foundation wasn’t the best for my oily/combo skin. Maybe I was not using it correctly. I always moisturize my face and typically use a primer before putting on my foundation. It didn’t do the job for me me.

Nothing longwear about it

I wanted to love this product it just didn’t hold up for me.

juhailey Apr 20, 2024

You have to try this

I'm simply in love with this foundation. It's stunning and very skin-like, as well as long lasting. If your skin is on the dry side like myself, make sure to do your skincare and use a hydrating primer.

My Favorite Liquid Foundation

I am so glad I gave this foundation a try. It’s hard to find one that is my shade and works well with my skin, and this is the one that does its job and looks good. On top of the Smashbox Smooth and Blur Primer, it blends so well and doesn’t feel caky. The end result is a beautiful application that lasts all day.

prh9 Apr 20, 2024

One of my favorites

One of my favorite foundations!! Not super matte but definitely controls oils and my skin looks flawless ALL day

23427810918 Apr 18, 2024

Somewhat disappointed customer

Somewhat disappointed at this new reformulation. This exact shade of foundation is supposed to the replacement of my old shade of foundation which matched me perfectly, but this new foundation just doesn’t work for me what so ever. It looks a lot darker on my skin & it doesn’t work well with other products. Total opposite of what my old foundation did

AngieeRK Apr 13, 2024

Big no

Definitely not long wear. Left me dry and patchy. It was recommended to me by Sephora employee after I specifically said I have dry skin. Need to return it.

Jessie666 Apr 12, 2024

Must-Have Foundation for Combo-Oily Skin

Love this foundation!! Great for combo skin that veers toward the oily side, provides medium/ buildable coverage with natural finish, long lasting, doesn’t require powder, setting spray, or primer to hold nicely

Noelb27 Verified Apr 12, 2024

This one is a keeper

My new favorite foundation. I love that it stays put and keeps my shiny spots at bay. Even with the more expensive foundations I find that if my forehead sweats the foundation disappears but not with this one. I will keep this in my rotation.

babygirl24jg48 Apr 11, 2024

smooth application

I am glad that I got the opportunity to try the Make Up For Ever HD Skin foundation for free. I like the smooth application. I like how smooth it feels on my skin. I like that I did not have to reapply.

Prices went up 44% for this. What BS!

Why did the prices for this jump 44% before the Sephora annual sale? Ridiculous

Kaaeleigh Apr 05, 2024

Not a holy grail but it’s good enough

This is my go to foundation, but it’s not perfect. Nice buildable coverage, stays for most of the day. Good colour match. If you’re an oily girl it will rub off easily like 8 hours into wearing it.

CarolineLittle Apr 02, 2024

Disappointed

Expensive for a product that doesn’t blend well into skin. It just sits on top and you can see in the light that there’s product on. Even with a brush or sponge.

Shajhed Mar 30, 2024

Good product

I received this free from influenster for my honest review. This color was a bit dark on me but still manageable. It feels like nothing on your face, very light and blends easily. It do notice it last all day. I forget I have it on until it’s time to remove and see it on my cotton balls.

marytalbot Mar 28, 2024

This foundation truly blends seamlessly. I do not feel like it dries too fast but gives good coverage without looking cakey or too foundation heavy

ali10777 Mar 26, 2024

this used to be my go to foundation for the past 10 years but in recent years the formula has changed and it’s no long the same. every bottle I buy now when it gets to less than half full it’ll be pumping out watery thin solution that’s not the same consistency as the foundation. such a disappointment when you can only use 60% of the bottle

BSran Mar 25, 2024

Not good

I bought it a few months back used for a day and had to return because of its texture, and even i got my skin tone matched but I wasn’t the same colour of my skin it was so light for me. also didn’t like the texture CC

Cheapwinemami Mar 25, 2024

Broke me out!

Was recommended this product by a Sephora employee when I asked for a “skin tint for sensitive skin”. This does contain perfume which I didn’t realize until after it broke me out - so definitely would not recommend for sensitive skin. It also really highlighted my dry patches. I returned it very fast!

jlfrasier Mar 23, 2024

It does seem to dry down faster than I expected which was surprising. The finish is nice and natural but I do find some dry patches even though I have oily skin. I think using some different skin prep might help with that

TexasAT Mar 23, 2024

Good foundation

Way too light!! Wish they had a better selection of mini colors. I use Deauville in the Nars. Good foundation, though.

Holy Grail!

My absolute holy grail and staple. I will scrape the bottom of the jar to ensure I get every last drop of product. It blends seamlessly into my skin. As an older woman, it does not cake or sink into fine lines to age me. It is hydrating, but wears without needing to be reapplied or touched up. I can get a good 12 hours of wear. I have recommended it to so many, and everyone agrees this is the best! While I originally received this through Influenster, the second bottle was purchased...

Dries down way too fast

I really wanted to love this foundation. It is light weight with a beautiful satin matte finish. However, even after solid skin prep, this product dries down extremely fast. I felt rushed when continuing my makeup routine. I set (spray) between appropriate steps and this formula was stubborn with other products and nearly refused to blend (and I have combo/oily skin.) It does perform very well regarding longevity but in totality, this formula doesn't stand out enough for me to keep the...

Bring back the Ultra HD

I have always worn Y225 - Marble in the MUFU Ultra HD. Best foundation ever. Perfect shade match. Not going to lie, I panicked when I found out it was being discontinued. I followed the suggestions and got the 1Y08 Warm Porcelain in the new HD Skin. The shade was not the same, it's darker. I have dry skin and this product does not work for me. Back to searching for a foundation..............

britnbar Mar 15, 2024

Nice!

As mentioned by other reviewers, the shade range of this product line is confusing. I would recommend color matching yourself in person if possible. That aside, the foundation has a texture that is not too heavy and dries down with a soft finish.

Lillyloraine Verified Mar 11, 2024

Nice formula!

The shade range is a-bit confusing and inaccurate to the descriptions. I have a cool rosy undertone but the 1R02 was too peachy for me. Even though 1N00 is supposed to neutral it is had a lot of pink. This one worked much better for me

Squeeky24 Verified Mar 11, 2024

Beautiful natural finish!!

If you want a natural look this foundation is perfect. I know it can be built up but at work I just put on a pump or two and I have the most amazing finish. I have had so many compliments on my skin since I started wearing this. Will be repurchasing!!

Well of course…….

When makeup forever first came out I was on board with the HD finish foundation and primer. Loved everything. Even the eyebrow pencils. That was almost 10 years ago. I went back to this product because 1 I knew it would be lightweight, 2 buildable, 3 true color match and a lot of colors to choose from.

Shade is WAY off

I am a lifetime user of Make Up For Ever's REBOOT foundation in the shade Y218 - it is my perfect match. I am fair with neutral undertones. I was sad to hear REBOOT was being discontinued, but figured I'd try this new foundation and see if it could be a replacement. I order 1N06 - which actually says Y218 in parentheses on the bottle - and both were called Porcelain and had neutral undertones. Unfortunately, 1N06 is nowhere near "porcelain" and is extremely orange. I shook the bottle before...

reminds me of a skin tint or a BB cream. I have texture on my skin and slight acne scarring, but I still tried a partial coverage foundation. big mistake.

Hello friends ! Today, I will review another of my purchases: HD skin foundation. First of all, if you have textural issues ,blemishes, and discoloration, then this foundation is not for you. It has a very sheer coverage. It blends well. Looks really natural on skin and has a beautiful finish. It’s light weight. Perfect for combination skin. If you have dry skin, it's important to use a good moisturizer, or it will cling to dry patches.

Got a sample in-store to try!

Surprisingly pretty on top of my acne-prone, combo, textured skin. The shades look lighter online than in real life FYI. Warm leans too yellow and neutral leans very pink. I hate that there’s alcohol in this foundation because it really does look pretty on the skin.

Better for oily skin.

Medium, true buildable coverage foundation. The foundation is light weight, and easy to blend. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the finish, it left me feeling dry and patchy. It would be nice for skin that is more on the oily side but not for me.

My absolute favorite foundation! It has beautiful medium to buildable coverage, isn’t cakey or dry (i have dry/combo skin), not luminous either and matches my skin perfectly. I bought it on sale not expecting anything special but it turned out to be amazing and has been my everyday foundation since. I’ve tried many of the popular ones, like haus labs, nars radiant, armani luminous silk, etc but this and the dior backstage take the cake for me. Highly recommend!
