Amazing coverage and so lightweight on your skin

This is my second time purchasing this foundation. I have combination skin so it gets oily around my t-zone, this doesn’t let any shine come through on my nose or forehead like other foundations do. It has a really light feel but gives full coverage, you can layer it for more coverage but once does the job for me. It always feels like im not wearing anything and i love that.
So happy with this foundation.

The only foundation I use...

I like this product, and it's the only foundation that I use when I wear makeup, which oddly hasn't been very much this past year! 4 stars because it can separate by my nostrils and settle into a line of product.

Feels like on skin but great coverage

I have super sensitive skin and this product is light but with good coverage. Absolutely no irritants in the products. I use for spot coverage/pimples, as an all over and sometimes just for undereye. Highly recommend.

As long as you moisturise well it will work, but it does enhance my dry patches if I haven't done that.

What would be the ideal primer for this foundation?

Ola W on Nov 22, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Hi Tartelette, any primer works well underneath Amazonian Clay full coverage foundation. If you are dry we recommend base tape or quench hydrating primer, if you are oily we recommend poreless primer, and if texture is your concern try timeless smoothing primer :)

My favourite is to use a sponge to sheer it out but for full coverage use a brush and stipple over the skin. I love to do this then bounce over with a sponge to make it look like skin and more natural yet still being super full coverage

Both of them are useful, It depends for the result that do you want on your skin...With sponge the finish it's ligher, more natural, less coverage, with brush the finish it's more coverage and compact.

Does this look very dry on an already dry skin?

Sara M on Mar 21, 2020

BEST ANSWER: Hi there. Amazonian clay is like a GPS for your skin- where you are dry, it hydrates and where you are oily, it mattifies. It leaves the skin with a smooth, airbrushed finish. Prep your skin with a moisturizer and hydrating primer- we recommend Baba Bomb moisturizer (its incredible!) and Base Tape Primer.
