I love it! Very soft and smooth on skin. Although, I notice I have to keep reapplying powder throughout the day since I have combination skin and it gets oily in some areas.

Great coverage and protection for mature skin.

I wear this product EVERYDAY. I spend much of my day outdoors and using a product with SPF is very important. The formula is lightweight enough that it does not feel heavy on my skin. This is the first foundation that felt good on my skin AND improved its appearance.

I loved this foundation! I wasn’t too sure at first because I kind of had to guess which would match my skin tone but when my package arrived it blended easily, and well. Also goes very well with the concealer and cream bronzer, from the same collection. I can definitively say that the Sea collection is my favorite.

It’s ok but I don’t feel like it is worth it. I feel like it was the equivalent to a drugstore brand foundation. Also mine deff wasn’t filled all the way when I received it I feel like it’s just cheap and pore coverage.

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.

Layla M on Sep 12, 2019

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.

I find a damp sponge does the best so you don't have any streaks. You will need at least 2 coats this way because it does give a lighter coverage. I also will sometimes use a brush first and then go over it with a damp sponge. I bought a Tart e brush hoping it would work better, but it didn't. Just experiment and see how you like it best. Overall, I think this is their best foundation and it feels so nice. Good Luck.
