The silicone free formula is what drew me in. Let me just say first that a liquid foundation with no silicones is a tricky thing to make. In foundation, the silky smooth texture of silicones help to blur pores / fine lines, lengthen staying power, and keep your skin looking matte. This is all great, and for many, silicones are no issue at all. But for those who are sensitive or acne prone, silicone heavy foundations can trap oil, dirt, and acne causing bacteria close to the skin, especially when worn for long amounts of time (ie. those foundations that claim to have 24hr wear). This is why foundation often gets the worst rap for breaking people out. So keeping that in mind, here’s what I loved. Milk’s Blur Liquid ties with Kat Von D’s Lock It for the fullest coverage I have ever gotten from a foundation. A tiny bit definitely goes a long way and I only need a pea sized amount for my whole face. It goes on easy with a beauty blender, and my color match (warm medium) was pretty spot on. It didn’t feel too heavy at all, and made my skin look flawless upon application. It also mixes well with facial oils or moisturizer on days when I want to sheer it out. I really liked the tube packaging as well, which prevents oxidation.

Now for the things I didn’t love. It does not have a long wear time, and tends to break up after only a few hours. I also found it to have a super dewy definitely not matte finish, which I didn’t mind in itself necessarily, but I did find that that made it extremely hard to set. I still had a lot of transfer after baking heavily with powder and using setting spray. Honestly though, I was already expecting to have some of these issues due to the absence of silicones. Have I found my holy grail foundation? Probably not, but I still think that Milk’s Blur Liquid is a great option to try for those who are acne prone and find that other foundations often break them out. This foundation is pretty much in a market of its own and definitely needs to be reviewed with the silicone free trade off in mind. There’s obviously a reason why there are so few foundations like this out there, and I LOVE Milk for taking on the challenge! MILK MAKEUP Blur Liquid Matte Foundation

Alright, I had high hopes for this foundation. I initially went in to buy the Fenty foundation and of course it wasn’t available. So I was advised to try the Milk Blue foundation. I was impressed with the feel and texture and the smell was not bad. It was a citrus smell and was very airy. The next day I applied it and it looked flawless and not fully matte. I had a huge day of in class training so we will see how it goes. During my time I noticed it transferred very easily off on my finger, and it looked ok for the first 2 or 3 hours. But after that it started to make my face look oily and it started to separate on my skin. By the end of the day it was pretty much off my face except my face looked oily and gross. I was not happy. I ended up washing and moisturizing my face and ended up the rest of the day without it. On my return from the 2 day trip I returned it and got CoverFX. I was not pleased. It looked great initially being on but it made my face get red and oily just after 4 hours.

GRAIL. FOUNDATION.

Texture is light, but not too light that it sacrifices coverage. I would say this is a full coverage foundation if you build it up. I love the fact that it doesn't feel cakey or heavy. The color "ivory" matches my skin PERFECTLY. I have a hard time with many companies (other than Kat Von D) having a TRUE match to my light/fair skin. There is a light scent to the foundation as well. It's definitely not overpowering or offensive. It also doesn't settle in or exacerbate my medium-large pores.

I always set it every foundation with powder to get a completely lasting effect, and this one is no different. I have oily skin on my t-zone, forehead, and chin, with dry patches on my cheeks and under my nose. This foundation sat very well all day in both zones. There is a need for me to touch up with an oil-blotting paper or a touch of sebum-control powder. 

Overall, for me, this is a go-to foundation that is great for me everyday. 

 

I received a sample from Sephore, including Golden Light, Golden Medium, and Golden Deep. Golden light was closest to my skin color. I received the sample with my new Kat Von D foundation I ordered.
Both claim to be full coverage matte foundations. I put them side by side on my wrist.. Golden Light was pretty close to the KVD shade- Medium 54 Neutral. But there was a noticeable difference in coverage. KVD had a fuller coverage, but Milk had a decent coverage, more natural look. I think that's what they were going for. Beautiful colors, lightweight.. From the sample I can tell that it is a great product. I just have a hard time paying $40 for foundation. It pained me to spend $35 on KVD. Hoping it was worth it!

One of my favorite foundations of all time. Not true to the 'full coverage' claim in just one layer, but buildable for more coverage as you add on. It contains a clear, 'blurring' liquid in the bottle that mixes into the foundation, and works like a dream! It helps mask redness, pores, and other skin imperfections. It's one of the few foundations that looks like you aren't even wearing foundation, and the bottle is a good size for the price, considering you don't need a lot.  I purchased this with my own money, it wasn't a sample or free trial, and I'm glad I did. It was a splurge, for sure, but this definitely is and will continue to be well loved. It does not spread or separate for me on my oily areas, however can tend to accentuate dry patches, so be sure to heavily moisturize dry areas before applying. I will warn it's not matte, it's more demi or semi matte, and still gives a glowy finish on the high points of your face, like your cheekbones, the tip of your nose, etc. It did not break me out, but if foundations or makeup products containing silicone cause issues for your skin, I don't recommend this.

Thumbs up for this high coverage, long wearing, matte foundation! I tested Milk Makeup's Blur liquid foundation over the weekend, and I'm super impressed! It lasted my 12 hour shift with only the slightest amount of fade. This is, hands down, the most long wearing foundation I own! It blurred my pores and didn't accentuate dry patches. I did notice when my skin wasn't prepped, it looked cakey, but over my #firstaidbeauty coconut primer, it looked flawless. It's extremely pigmented, so you really don't need much. The littlest bit goes a long way. I used my #mariobadesco spray as a refresher throughout the day to keep my skin feeling hydrated, but my skin is dry as a bone at baseline. This foundation would PERFECT for normal to oily skin. I'll definitely be reaching for this when I'm craving a flawless, high coverage look. I never thought it was possible for my skin to look this smooth! 🙌🏻

I bought this after watching a ton of YouTube videos that recommended. I figured it had to be good for the price. I have combination skin and texture. It was great coverage but it totally separated on me throughout the day in my oily spots. Also hate the way it sits on my skin. I almost feel like it accentuates my texture. I tried a beauty blender, a brush and my fingers. I wanted to bad to like this foundation but for me it just doesn't work. I gave it 3 stars because for someone without texture or oily skin i think it would be beautiful.

Holy cow this stuff is thick. And when I mean thick I mean if you squeeze just a little too much out you are going to run out of places to put it. The coverage is flawless but the finish is so incredibly dewy that if you produce the tiniest bit of oil, you will soon be looking like a sweaty, grease ball. Dry skin types might like this if you are mindful of how much product you use, and this would probably be pretty for a few hours at a photo shoot but this is not the type of foundation I would recommend wearing out and about unless you plan to constantly touch up.

This foundation is very full coverage without looking like you put a new face on. It moves with my skin, doesn’t cling to dry patches, and just overall looks great. Is it the best foundation out there? Probably not, but it’s pretty great. The main reason for my five stars is that this tube literally. Lasts. Forever. I’ve had mine since around August of 2017, and it’s April of 2018 now. Much longer than my other foundations have lasted me. In addition to this statement, a little goes a very long way.

This foundation is really amazing when used with the Milk brand blur stick. I didn’t have to mix two shades as tan was my perfect match. It did have full coverage and looked matte which i love since I’m very oily. I purchased from Sephora but ended up taking it back only because I also use the la pro girl hd foundation and sand is my perfect shade and I honestly feel like the foundations for me were exactly the same. This was $40 and my LA pro girl is $8.
