Foundation X+ - Full Coverage

Not for dry skin

I bought this a couple months ago. The shade match is great. It is a very liquid foundation, applies best with a sponge. I imagine it works well for some people because it had good reviews, but not me. It is terrible for dry skin. It enhances every little dry spot. I am still using it because it was expensive.

3N was too dark!

Beautiful texture and it sets down perfectly on its own. Unfortunately, 3N was several shades too dark for me. If you find the lightest shade of drugstore foundations is often too dark for you,, then I think this will be too. I'm disappointed because with 35 shades to choose from, i thought the lightest would be lighter!

After a bit of trial and error, this has surpassed a bunch of my HG foundations and has recently been all I've been reaching for. I have normal to dry skin that's cystic acne prone, but that's currently under control and I just have a few blemishes. I live in Texas and it's currently Summer, so comfortable and long-wearing base makeup is a must for me. This is the most sweatproof product I've ever found. It has a feeling similar to MAC's Studio Fix fluid when it's dry, where you know it's set down and isn't going to budge. It's also so thin and lightweight, but it has great coverage so you only need the tiniest amount of it. Because of this, it's not at all uncomfortable to wear in hot weather. For application, I use 1-2 pumps for my entire face, and I apply it with my hands in a stamping/patting motion. I think this is the key, as I've disliked the finish when I tried it with sponges/brushes, and I've actually found that it didn't wear as well. I think it really benefits from being pressed into the skin with the warmth of my hands, plus it works out as the product dries SUPER fast and this method is so fast as well. The other thing? I find it only works at its best when I DON'T powder it, so if you absolutely need powder, your mileage may vary. Overall, the performance and ease of application make this such an easy favorite of mine. I'm honestly strongly considering buying a backup, which I never ever do. It's that good.

Learned to love it!

The first time I tried this foundation (5N as it was the lightest shade available at the time) I was not a fan. Much too dark and was pilling up and patchy as all get out. Changed my moisturizer (Tatcha dewy), skipped the primer and used a sponge (brush does not work for me with this foundation). Now I get low medium coverage with a natural finish. The colour is still a touch dark for winter/early spring, but I use my CT Light Wonder then.

Garbage. Not for dry skin at all! Creases into fine lines so much I looked 20 years older. Will not be purchasing this again and will be returning the one I purchased!!
