The best foundation I have used.

I have been wearing the Amazonian clay foundation for several years and decided to try the water foundation for a change. I love the light full coverage that doesn’t feel like I am wearing anything on my face. This is a very good product and I will continue to buy in the future.

Great, makes my skin so soft, smooth and the best texture, but makes me break out all over!!!

This foundation is amazing! It makes my skin so soft, smooth and the best texture, but makes me break out all over!!! Not sure what it is in it, but I had small and large pimples all over my face and forehead. I haven't broken out like that since I was a teenager. So sad bc its very moisturizing too. Glowy skin, but with bumps all over : ( Color is way off too I must add. My normal color has a lottt of yellow in it. I've used the Amazonian Clay foundation for close to 10 years, Never has any issues. I'll be going back to that one.

Rebecca S on Mar 3, 2021

I’ve learned over the years that it seems like every decade I go through my skin gets dryer and changes. Now being in my late 30s I was struggling to find the perfect foundation until I found this one. It never gives me cake face but it covers all of my skins imperfections. It leaves my skin glowy and healthy looking and never gathers in those fine lines that are starting to appear. I get a ton of compliments on my skin all the time. So I highly recommend this foundation.

I love the light feel of this foundation on my face. It’s very thin and hydrating but has great even coverage. It makes my dry skin look more dewy and natural. The shape tape foundation was much heavier in coverage and thickness on my face. It also made my skin feel a bit dry and settled into lines on my face.

I would say it holds up pretty well! Definitely apply a setting powder and maybe carry some with you throughout the day! If you don’t have powder, just take a napkin and dab lightly if any oil appears

I’m matched with Fair-Light Neutral too, but I can use fair beige as well. That’s the shade I’m currently using in the Water Foundation :) hope this helped.

I believe just out of stock.

It does depend on what you are putting the foundation over. I use an spa primer that has a subtle glow and the effect is dewy and beautiful. It should look the same wearing it over a moisturizer.
So pretty.

Very messy to use. Bottle and cap are always a mess and has to be wiped down after every use. Will not buy again because of this.

Does it cake?

Kasey J on Sep 15, 2019

BEST ANSWER: This foundation isn't cakey at all! It goes on so smoothly and stays in place all day without it creasing or getting that 'itch' after being on too long. The majority of the time I never use primer or setting spray and it doesn't move an inch.(I always have moisturiser on though) It's the lightest foundation I've ever used and I get so many compliments on it!

Ive used both the babassu and the water foundation. I find the babassu foundcealer clings to dry spots on my skin more and looks cakier. I def prefer the water foundation, personally. The coverage seems about the same, maybe a little more coverage from the water foundation than babassu

If you're looking for all in one, go with the babassu. It's light coverage, has spf. Although, I do have to admit that I feel like the babassu is more dewy of a look compared to the water foundation. I personally don't like babassu foundation for this reason.

BEST ANSWER: This foundation is hydrating, so it tends to separate on oilier parts as the day goes on. I have combo skin and by midday it breaks up in my t zone. Priming and setting do help though. I recommend it if you're willing to prime or set with use. If not I'd suggest passing on it for another formula. Its beautiful when applied but I don't find it long wearing.
