I was so excited to try this foundation as it promised everything I look for in a base, long wearing, sweat resistant and transfer proof. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations. I got the wrong shade (through the Beauty Vault) but it still seemed to work which was a nice surprise and when blended quickly with a sponge it looked gorgeous. A nice medium coverage and doesn’t feel too heavy on the skin. I used it over my favourite primer which I always use when try a new foundation because it never fails me but after a particularly shiny end to the day I tried it again with another primer the next day. It looked great for the first 6 hours but then it started to break apart on my cheeks and chin. I always set my foundation with a powder but by the 4 hour mark I started to look shiny. I am fairly oily but after using blotting papers every hour(after 4 hours of wear) for the first few days I have had to admit that this foundation isn’t for me. It may work on more normal/dry skin but I definitely wouldn’t repurchase this product.

Tips: Shake well before use. It has a pump and can get a bit blocked as the foundation dries on it, use a warm damp cloth to clean it and then dry well afterwards
This was my first time trying this foundation and I love it, it’s going to be my foundation from now on. I love full coverage that sits all day and this does. It covers very nicely and matched my skin tone so well! I also have very dry skin so struggle with foundations but this didn’t budge all day or make my skin dry. I really am very happy with this foundation
I picked this up the beauty vault along with some other items. I chose Warm sun beige. Comes in a pump bottle easy to read labelling. Consistency is smooth medium coverage does layer up well . I like to wear this as an ever day foundation. It last up to 5 hours and begins to fade off after that. I think it’s an ok . Price wise should be around the $20 mark. I would use it again but nothing out of the ordinary here to see.
This is my go-to foundation for a night out when I want it to stay on. It stays on through sweat and tears and does not breakout my skin. I have this in two different colours (a lighter pale shade and a darker tanned shade). Cannot fault this!
Tips: Using a brush gives it more coverage then using a sponge gives it less.
This foundation is definitely value for money. Really does last all day, and offers great coverage. The foundation isn’t oily at all, and looks amazing!
The 24hr version of this was so much easier to blend as this new one dries much too quickly. The tone match was great, though and it did last the whole day. I don't think you would even need powder if your skin isn't as oily as mine is. Also not as full coverage as the 24hr, which I used to use without concealer.
Tips: Blend with either a beauty blender or brush and blend as if you've only got 10 seconds left before you have to go because this stuff dries so so quickly! A primer really helped with this, also. I use the Nivea Men's Sensitive Aftershave
I received this as part of an IG guest review. I got the shade nude beige as I am of fair completion and I have combo skin.
This foundation initially did not do excite me when I first applied, however as I have tried with different combinations of primer and setting powder I have come to accept it. I even tried without powder and still liked the finish.
They staying power for my skin was pretty good, I didn’t go too oily or have my foundation transfer or disappear during the day.
The coverage is full and doesn’t require multiple layers. However a damp beauty sponge is recommended to apply in my opinion.
Overall I’ll give this a 6.5/10 nothing too revolutionary but still full coverage and does stay all day.
Tips: - make sure your primer is sticky (I tried with a pore minimising primer and it didn’t look nice at all) - use a damp beauty sponge - defo get shade matched
I was lucky enough to receive this foundation from the vault, and chose the fawn shade. It applies quite thickly and gives a good medium coverage. Not shiny, definitely a matte finish. I needed lots of moisturiser underneath as my skin is dry and I didn't want any patchy areas. The pump applicator is handy and the glass bottle contains a decent amount of product, 30ml. If I purchase this in the future I will try a slightly darker shade, as this one was a little light for my skintone. Overall, I found this to be a long lasting natural looking foundation.
Tips: I used a foundation brush which is good for blending around eyes and jawline. I used on the backs of my hands (veiny) with good effect also.
Love this foundation for everyday wear, such good coverage and lasts all day with it without setting spray! I work in hospitality and can get a bit sweaty and it hasn’t budged! I love that it is affordable for what it really is! I have gone through two bottles of this now and it had now become my go to! After trying multiple foundations, I really like this one mainly because it suits my skin tone well, it’s not over priced and it looks good on the face!
Tips: I find it best applied with a beauty blender.
Love the idea of a 30 hour wearing foundation for those big workdays you need it to last all day.
Unfortunately the formula did apply a little patchy on some areas of my skin and the foundation wore down even more on those areas after around 6 hours so not as longwearing as expected.
The coverage was originally quite nice on the skin otherwise, more medium buildable and I was able to find a suitable colour match which was nice being paler skin toned it can sometimes be a a pain to find the right colour.
I will probably keep this as a back up foundation and keep looking for a better formula that applies nicer on the skin.
Tips: The formula dries quite quickly on the skin so apply in small areas and blend out to avoid it drying to quickly and turning super patchy.
