Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation

I was skeptical about trying this foundation, especially since many of the reviews I'd read weren't great. I was worried that the shade Fair wouldn't be fair enough for me, but it blended perfectly. The foundation is light to medium coverage, but you can build it up quite a bit without it getting cakey. It wore well throughout the day, I was actually quite impressed with it. if you like more of a matte finish, this probably isn't going to be your cup of tea, but if you prefer a dewy glow, you need to try this!

I hate heavy thick foundations, especially in the summer. I tend to stick to foundations like Chanel Vitalumiere, MUFE HD (sheered out), etc. If you like either of those foundations, you will likely find this one pretty nice as well. This foundation to me is the perfect mix of coverage and texture. It's great for summer or for those who are like me (hate sticky and/or cakey feeling foundation on the skin), but sometimes need a little extra help in their problem areas. This foundation build nicely on my dry skin, but doesn't cling to my dry patches, which is awesome.

The one thing that annoys me about this foundation is the packaging. I hate that it uses a dropper instead of a pump. I find it very precarious to load up the back of my hand with this stuff, while the bottle is open on my vanity. If it were to tip over and spill everywhere, I'd be devastated and annoyed.

I use the Becca Skin Brightening Primer under this foundation, which gives a really lovely glow to the skin. Below is a photo of it after 4 hours of wear, no touch ups, and a little powder to set it.

I was so ready not to like this because the majority of reviews I read were not on the positive side...well the joke was on me, because I absolutely love this foundation! I did find applying with a Beauty Blender to be the best way for me...it gave me even toned, luminous skin and it wore very well for such a moisturizing formula! It stands up to my hot flashes...major plus! It feels amazing going on, very smooth and hydrating, and it feels weightless once applied. I also found it to layer very easily so I can build coverage in areas where I need a bit more. I do have to dust my tzone with a light finishing powder around 6 hours into the day because my nose gets shiny...but I don't need any heavy setting powders to keep it in place. I am NW20 and shade Fair matches me perfectly. This foundation gives my dull/mature skin a glow I've wanted to find for so long! I am so happy I decided to try it!

I love this foundation. It's definitely the best foundation i've tried for my dry sensitive skin. All other foundations just highlight the dry flakes around my nose and sit in the pores but not this one. The liquid formula is prefect for my skin, the shade will adapt to the skin color. I have medium and beige shade and although medium seems dark, both look exactly the same when applied on my face. Primer is a must for me though (Marc Jacobs coconut primer) otherwise the foundation does not stick after just applying moisturiser. The finish is on dewy side but looks super natural. Coverage is on the light side but build-able. I find the beatyblender the best tool for application of this foundation.

Although the formula is comfortable to wear, the coverage was not enough. It was too sheer by itself and the more I build the foundation, it became cakey on my dry spots especially. Mind you, I am someone who carefully exfoliates, hydrates, and moisturizes on a regular basis. I love Becca but not this.

I love Becca, and was excited to try out a foundation from them. I love the finish of it, and it wears very nicely on the skin if you're going for a natural, glowy finish. The only thing I would change would be the shade range. I found Fair to still be a little too dark for my natural skin. Though I'm not even that fair, I need to self tan before I can wear this foundation comfortably.

I've always used tinted moisturizers, which gave me the light coverage and moisture I wanted, but always left my skin feeling oily towards the end of the day and never lasted into the night. This foundation feels even lighter and gives me even more skin goodness with more coverage time, and without feeling greasy. I hardly have to wear anything else under my eyes.

This is a nice foundation. 8 have normal to oily to dry skin and it sits nice on my face. Very smooth and VERY easy to blend. Not very good to apply powder on top though because then it looks cakey. Not very full covererage which is ok for me because I don't mind blemishes showing through . But if you want full coverage maybe this isn't for you. Very nice fresh feeling. Works well with other cream products.

I really loved the idea of this foundation, however, it made me look super cakey. It took a while for it to settle and it didn't really stick onto my face well. From afar it looks flawless, but if you take a closer look, it's cakey and starting to seperate already.

This is a great foundation if you're looking for something sheer and natural. It gives a very glowy finish. However it didn't last too long on my combination skin. Throughout the day I could see if breaking up on my nose area and under my eyes. I have tried setting this foundation with other powders and it hasn't helped. Unfortunately, I can only wear this foundation for short periods of time.
