Review for: Chestnut more...
Omg š where to do start! This makeup line was developed by dermatologists which is a bonus for a skin care nut like me! This formula is magical. Definitely a unicorn compared to other makeup lines. I got a sample of it because itās so expensive but I can say it held back my oils all day with no primers. I still havenāt found the strength to buy this outright but I know it exists and now you do too
Review for: Other more...
I tried this in "Shell" and I am beyond impressed with this formula!! Mainly because it really keeps my face matte for over 8 hours!!! After that I get a bit dewy on the forehead but still not even enough to use blotting paper!
The finish is velvet soft and looks powdery. I strongly feel this foundation absorbs oil! I'm still amazed! It did not break apart at all, even after 8-10 hrs! I would normally take a star off for price, but this is soo worth it for oily, combo, acne prone, sensitive skin!
Tip: if you have combo skin, use a silicone-ish primer so it doesn't make your dry spots stand out. I ditched porefessiional primer because it's too silicone like, but then came back to it because with this foundation it's perfect!!! Smooth!
Oh and this foundation smells really nice and it feels super light even with porefessional (which always feels heavy). In a nutshell, my fave feels bare, it's matte, and the foundation is moderate coverage! Highly recommend!

Review for: Beige more...
I have a love/hate relationship with this foundation. The color matches my skin perfectly even though itās ābeigeā.. the finish once done looks absolutely amazing like itās my natural skin and itās really stays on all day. BUT itās very drying. To the point where you have to do one side at a time because it dries that fast so itās hard to blend out. It also becomes patchy if you use cream contour over top even though technically it is a liquid foundation. You can make it work with the right primer and contours, though. So, if you donāt mind a little curve ball, youāll learn to love this foundation. 8/10 would recommend
Review for: Bare more...
I have been looking for a foundation to minimize my enlarged pores and keep my skin's oil at day. A Sephora gal suggested this formula. I was color matched to Bare, and the results were actually really nice, at first. The tone was perfect; however, once it transformed into the powder, which is almost immediately, it clung to my skin's pores. I'm neither tan or light. Medium tones are often too pink or too orange, so I can safely recommend the Bare tone for light olive complexions. I gave this a five because it covered my nose beautifully. My pores aren't as large on my nose. My cheeks are a different story. I have deep, large pores due to acne and aging, and the foundation literally sank it my pores. Mind you, my primer isn't the best since I try to steer clear of silicone. This is why I rated Hourglass Immaculate as a five. It's super expensive but it lasts for about 8 hours and isn't difficult to remove.
Review for: Beige more...
When they say this is a liquid powder foundation, they really mean it! It dries quick and sets to a matte, powdery finish. The coverage is definitely medium to high, a little goes a long way. I think it would be great for oily skin due to the finish and oil control it provides. Personally, I wouldnāt pick this up because it doesnāt work with my combo skin. The foundation completely dried it out, making it feel tight and parched. It was uncomfortable. Also, the shades of the foundation arenāt true to color as they do oxidize. Luckily for me, The oxidized shade matches me fine. But for others? Who knows. It is an okay product. I just wouldnāt use it and wouldnāt go out of my way to recommend it. I am NC40 and I used the shade āBeige.ā
Review for: Ivory more...
This is one of my all time favorite foundations (I feel like I say that a lot, but I also have a lot of foundations lol). It goes from liquid to powder and it dries very quickly so do one section of your face at a time if it takes you a while to buff it out. To apply it, I use Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush ($$$) or Michael Todd Beauty SonicBLEND Makeup Brush ($$) or the original beautyblenderĀ® pro ($$). You can also use other beauty sponges like Morphe Brushes- HIGHLIGHT & CONTOUR SPONGE ($). It is buildable to full coverage which takes 2-3 layers. Itās great for oily skin but wouldnāt recommend it for dry skin due to the matte powder finish.

Review for: Nude more...
I got a sample of this from Sephora and wanted to try it out for a family dinner. The product went on easily and definitely looked matte. Coverage was fairly light. I only had it on for a couple of hours, but it held up against my oily skin. I would be curious to try it out for a full day
Review for: Shell, Pearl more...
I received a travel sized sample through the Sephora rewards program or a beauty subscription. I've used the Immaculate foundation alone and as a mixer, worn as sheer and full coverage, and tried different primer or powder combinations.
Since all the reviews I came across mentioned how mattifying this foundation was, I've used a hydrating and added a pore filler primer on occasion. There was no need to powder and there were no issues using other powder products to finish my look. The coverage is great; it applied the best with a paddle brush. My skin looked airbrushed, even with using the front facing camera and no filters.

This foundation yāall! Itās perfect for my oily skin and it leaves it more matte throughout the day than the other foundation I used to exclusively use. The color matches my skin perfectly. Itās a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way.
Review for: Pearl more...
I love this foundation. Itās not to heavy or too light; itās perfect for covering blemishes and evening the complexion. I will definitely be buying this one again. Itās an all time favorite. I love how perfectly it matches my pale skin.

No not at all. I love this foundation, I have bought a couple bottles now, by far my favorite. It is pretty matte so perfect for oily skin; which I have. This foundation lasts all day long.
Does this work well on oily skin?

Yes, I have been using this for about a year. It feels weightless. Sometimes I do have to use a powder but that is usually during a hot Texas summer at the end of the day.
Some companys claim that there product is oil free and mattifying ..is this true to its claims ?
Really want to try this foundation. I have combination skin; oily t-zone and dry to normal everywhere else. Is this worth the money? What would you say stands out about this foundation?

I think this foundation is like no other. First, it does a beautiful job of drying to a matte finish. I have oily/combo skin as well, and battled horrible acne for more than half of my life. This actually does what it says, not only providing a great face for today but working to repair damage from previous skin issues. I owe half of my now-transformed skin to this product.
I'm always looking for a good foundation to control my oily skin while hiding pesky pimples. What is the coverage of this foundation? How long does it last? Is there a specific tool for flawless application?

This is medium to full coverage. It is a lightweight foundation that dries quick upon application. You have to apply to each area one at a time or it will dry on you. I love this foundation. I have been using it for over a year and the lasting power, oil control, and shade range is awesome. I would try a sample from Sephora before making the plunge since it is a steep price point however.
