texture when i tried it was silky, dried to a matte texture (still silky). would have kept if i received the correct color pigment (was to light).

Beautiful glowy skin a bottle!!!!!

I decided to try this after reading all the reviews, and let me say that this foundation does not disappoint!!!.. I used two drops and applied it with my Artis Oval 7. It's enough to give me lovely glowy skin that lasts my whole work day, so I can see this lasting me a good while.. For reference I am between NC15 and NC20, and this matches me brilliantly. It gives a medium coverage, so concealer is still a must for undereye and the occasional blemish. I have a really oily t-zone. This doesn't have oil-control, and it also didn't make me oilier than usual.. I read that it clings to dry patches, but I haven't noticed it doing so on my face.. I wouldn't recommend this if you have a lot of blemishes on your skin, or if you're looking for a full-coverage makeup, or if you're really REALLY oily.. I will definitely repurchase but given the small amount I need every time, it might be quite a while yet.

Love it on my clients, but not me

I have a very love hate relationship with this foundation. I love it on my clients, some of them wear it so nicely, but this one just does not love my skin. There's something in it that Im allergic to. I get surface bumps, and it makes me so sad, because this is really a great color match for me. Im fair skinned, and I normally have to match a few different foundations in order to get the right shade, and this one just matches me sooo perfectly; but alas the formula hates my skin.

On my clients, this is a buildable foundation. It glides on the skin and works well with other cream based products. This one also works well with my more mature skinned clients.

When I called and spoke to a advisor I gave the wrong info on my foundation I think I'm off by one shade but after bronzer and highlight my foundation was flawless I'm definitely going to use this foundation as my holy Grail it does drie really fast so I suggest you add highlight to the foundation for a dewy look cuz it is matte light to medium coverage

I love it! It feels wonderful, light and blends beautifully - I need a shade darker so I just ordered it! Looking forward to working with the two together!

Gorgeous light-weight foundation

This is a lovely light-weight oil-free liquid foundation. I've been using the KA SSE SX11 which is just a tad too yellow for my skin tone, hence I was looking for other foundations to use.

My skin type: Oily, oily ... oily!

SF08 product texture: Very thin and watery, zero oil.

Application: Shake the bottle well before using as instructed :) I moisturise, prime, correct + conceal then use 1 full dropper to cover my whole face, using a foundation brush (Rae Morris #23 or Wayne Goss #10). Product is placed into the palm of my hand, picked up with the brush then dotted onto the face. It's easy to spread and buff gently into the skin (to avoid displacing my correction/concealing products). Didn't attempt to use a beauty blender - felt that the SF08 formulation, being oil-free, watery + very thin, would mostly get absorbed into the sponge and therefore less product would be available for the skin.

Colour: I'm a medium-deep. Got matched by the Beautylish Team. The SF08 matches well with my skin tone. It's slightly lighter in shade that my other foundations and less warm.

To compare with my other foundations: - Natasha Denona Glow #75 medium-dark. It's slightly deeper in shade than the SF08 and a more illuminating glowy foundation. So will use the ND#75 in summer and keep the KA SF08 for winter. - Natasha Denona Phenomattic Flawless Texture Foundation #7 shade medium-dark bisque. Matte foundation like the SF08 but more thicker/creamy plus it does not require any setting with powder.

Setting powder used: Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder.

Coverage: Medium to full, depending on how much prior correction/concealing product was applied. I only had to apply one layer of the SF08; this surprised me, since I've got a LOT of hyperpigmentation on cheeks, around mouth and on chin.

Final verdict: A gorgeous matte smooth natural look. A change from the other more creamy liquid foundations but the watery texture is easy to apply. Definitely will re-order :)

Not worth the money

I was really excited to try this foundation... I have heard wonderful things about this brand... I was sadly disappointed with it... it clung to dry patches even with a hydrating primer.. I tried several different application methods and nothing improved... soo I do not recommend buying this is you have dry skin at all... it looked

This makes even mature skin look beautiful! It is very creamy and has not made any problems for my very sensitive skin.

Magical !!

The Best foundation I have ever tried in my 47 years! So lightweight yet I didn't need much at all. Couldn't even tell I had it on my skin if I hadn't seen it for myself. I'm pale with cool undertones so finding the perfect shade has been an uphill battle for a LONG time. To quote the YouTube beauty community "this is my new holy grail" !!!! The staying power s excellent & I was in a hurry so I skipped a finishing powder. 8 hrs later still perfection. My customer service contact person was top notch. I know the price is $$$ bu the payoff is with it! A little goes a long way. Can't wait to try with my beauty blender! Radiant, light weight. Huge color selection - I can't recommend this enough! ❤️

Foundation Perfection: KA Does it Again

Ok, I have raved about KA products in previous reviews, but this is ridiculous! I use and LOVE KA's Sensual Skin Enhancer and I thought that this product was truly the best foundation on the market...that is, until I tried the Sensual Skin Fluid Foundation. Is it possible to improve upon perfection? Apparently KA says it is.

My Beautylish Bestie, Mel sent me two samples to try for a color match -- 8.0 and the new 8.5. The 8.5 was just right! The first thing I noticed was the incredible scent--this stuff smells fantastic! Secondly, when applied, this foundation literally vanishes into your skin. It feels like silk and leaves you with this gorgeous look that's neither dewy or matte. Your skin looks airbrushed. It's nothing like anything I've ever used before! I did follow Jaqueline and Alisha's recommendation to properly prepare my skin. I used KA's Sensual Skin Developer to prime my skin after washing and exfoliating (NIA24), toning (Indie Lee) and moisturizing (Korres Roses 24 hour). I also used the Celestial Skin Liquid Highlighter before applying the foundation. The product has a loose, watery consistency. It's very light weight yet you only need a little for medium coverage. It provides excellent coverage that is buildable.

After the foundation set, my skin had this natural hydrated glow that lasted all day. Simply amazing. I can't quite articulate how uniquely wonderful this product is. If you're on the fence about trying it because of the price, request a sample and experience it before making the investment. It's worth every penny.
