Perfect light foundation with SPF and skin benefits ALL in ONE!!!
This was simply the most perfect, every day, serum-like, foundation, skincare marriage of product! It is super light, moisturizing, and super easy to wear. I applied with a kabuki brush for a seamless finish. I feel like I'm not wearing anything yet when I look in the mirror, I look refreshed! I Love Ilia makeup and this was a great bet! Would definitely recommend it. Quick note - I did add a bit of Sisley-Paris light finishing powder on top of my t-zone for a gorge look!
Fantastic for dry skin
Skincare and makeup are very personal, which is why I will only recommend this for my skintype: dry, mid thirties, hardly no fine lines except for on the forehead a bit. Method of application: hands. I tried all others, but really massaging it in works the best. On me it’s dewy for a minute or two. Then it sinks in and leaves a gorgeous skinlike finish. Now my friend who has the same skintype applies it with a sponge over all her skincare, and on her it stays so shiny. I really don’t think that is the purpose of the product at all. I really see it as a one and done product. Ilia says that one dropper provides the spf mentioned and so I slather that on in 2 layers. I love the coverage which I think is light to medium, but the finish is really where it gets interesting: so smooth! But don’t you have to re-apply sunscreen? You do. Which is why I apply this over itself after a few hours. No trouble at all. Even if I lightly powdered it.
To me this is a gamechanger. I wish Ilia would provide a mix in or something to up the coverage, but for now I’m fine with it. My skin is doing fine. I’d say if you have a lot of hyperpigmentation this will not do on it’s own.
One minor point: the shade range. I can wear shade 5 through 9............. That’s weird.... I think they could skip every other light shade and add to the medium and deep. But that’s just me.
