Product Description
The Influencer Clean Longwear Foundation redefines the line between skincare and makeup. It provides clean, natural-looking, long-lasting coverage that doesn’t dry out as the day (or night) goes on, with a satin-matte finish that stays fresh looking even through workouts or humidity. It’s available in 20 perfectly buildable, medium-to-full coverage shades that expertly conceal redness, pores, and dark spots without ever looking cakey. With just one pump, get perfectly even skin with ultra-natural coverage. For fuller coverage and more concealing power that never cracks or creases, layer as needed—without worrying about clogging your pores. No matter what your desired coverage, you are always in control: you still look like you.
Great for all skin types, The Influencer controls oil, but never dehydrates your skin for a fresh, healthy-looking, shine-free complexion. Canadian willowherb, northern truffle extract, and bisabolo give soothing effects, so that even the most sensitive skin looks its best. Pores are instantly minimized for the ultimate smooth canvas.

I purchased shades 120 and 140. I have light skin, so according to the description 140 should have worked for me, but when i tested them on my jawline, 120 seemed a closer, more natural match. I applied this foundation using a Beautyblender.
When I started applying this foundation, I felt that it gives a very sheer light coverage. It worked better once I applied more layers. I had to use at least 6 pumps (I can’t remember exact number, but I bet it was more like 8+) to get even application on my face. I set both sides of my face with different powders. The foundation set nicely though afterwards I noticed that it looks like some areas on my face are covered uneven (e.g. around my brows).
The foundation lasts well and looks natural, the coverage is light-medium, so in the end it’s not the worst result. However, I get much nicer results from other foundations, so I’m not going to keep this one
First, the coverage is closer to light/medium. It does not fully cover my active acne or scarring, I still need to follow it up with a more pigmented concealer.
Second, it really never dries down. It does not meld with skin like so many other foundations do. It itches ever so slightly, which just may be the peach fuzz on my face moving, but because this sits on top of the skin I'm afraid to touch the itchy parts for fear of wiping the foundation off.
I've tried using different primers and setting powders with not a whole lot of luck. Even when I can get it to look passable, it wears off almost completely. The only real saving grace is that it is a great match for my NC20/1Y04 skin tone.
I'm still on the lookout for that magic product or application method that will make it perform well, but I haven't found any so far. I will say, however, that it applies better with a damp Beautyblender type sponge than it does with a pretty dense foundation brush. Also, because it does contain some oils, I tried applying it after Sunday Riley's U.F.O. oil and while it made it look a bit more natural, it still did not adhere for long.
I really want to love this.
It’s more of a medium coverage foundation at two pumps. Any more than that and it starts to look too cakey on me since I prefer as natural look as possible, which the Influenster’s satin finish provides. I always apply foundation with the SEPHORA COLLECTION Pro Foundation Brush #47 and got good application with just a bit of creasing around my lower lid. But a sponge took care of that.
After 5 hours of wear, I had a bit of separation across the forehead but that might have been just me not using as much there as the rest of my face. Otherwise, it maintained its satin finish.
I can’t wait for it to get warmer so I can really put it through its paces. It’s almost unfair though because I don’t glisten... I sweat, and this isn’t described as a heavy duty budge-proof. So if it can deal with me, it’s good.
The foundation's texture is quite thick and a bit more difficult to spread, but Sunday Riley recommends applying it with your fingertips so I did just that and it gave me a layer of medium-ish coverage with a satin finish (not matte at all) with considerably less effort than application took using a sponge or a brush. It has no added fragrance and no strange odour, which is nice. On top of that it managed to last eight or nine hours.
On the bad side, after two uses of The Influencer my forehead started breaking out quite noticeably so I've had to stop use and unfortunately cannot recommend it especially since no other foundation has ever broken me out before.
First, the bottle is amazing, I am quite clumsy so anything that isn't in a glass bottle is a huge plus. Also, it is extremely travel-friendly and sleek!
The foundation is so lightweight. The overall product is watery, which I was skeptical at first. But, I use a pump and a half and it covers all of my blemishes, evens my skin tone and gives a "your skin but better" airbrushed look. It isn't cakey, it isn't heavy, it just feels like you have nothing on your face.
It also does not grab onto my dry patches, lasts beautifully all day without fading and performs beautifully. I know it is marketed more towards oily/combo skin. I am extremely dry, and it works amazing so don't let that hold you back!
I need to get this in a few different shades to accommodate my tan levels moving forward. But, I highly recommend.
If you're looking for fuller coverage, I would definitely suggest applying with a brush vs a beauty blender, however, you can achieve a full coverage look with the BB- you'll just go through more of the foundation.
10/10 for the Influencer foundation!
