NYX Professional Makeup 24 Hour Full Coverage Lightweight Foundation, Can't Stop Won't Stop, Long Lasting, Waterproof, Vegan Formula, Matte Finish, Shade: Vanilla

Bought this shade by looking at different online swatches, and I’m so so happy it was a perfect match for my light-medium olive skin tone without being too pink or yellowish! For reference I’m ard NC20-25 : ) Regarding the coverage I wouldn’t say this is a full coverage foundation, but it has a decent medium+ coverage on my super oily skin, leaving a beautiful and natural finish without being cakey like wearing a mask. It’s cruelty free too! It’s not completely transfer proof, but most of the foundation is still intact at the end of the day. I lightly applied setting powder on top of the foundation, and only slightly blotted my face late afternoon. This may not work for very dry skin ladies, but it’s a decent drugstore foundation for oily ladies. I would say it feels like wearing a lighter coverage version of Estes Lauder double wear stay in place.

Perfect shade, perfect hold perfect, my skin loves it

When I first tried this foundation by NYX I thought I’d found my holy grail. An affordable foundation that it full coverage and actually fits my skin tone (I’m very pale with a lot of redness occasionally and this foundation covers it and matches me so well!) But it comes with quite a few downsides unfortunately that make me hesitate to give 5 stars. Number one is the consistency of the foundation. It’s quite thick, and dries very quickly. It means that the coverage is amazing, almost as good as a concealer, but blending it is kind of a race against time. If you leave it for a few moments too long you’ll find it has dried almost entirely on your face. It’s not a huge problem, but it can be a bit frustrating as you can find yourself using more of the product than needed because it dries so quickly. covering your whole face if you have skin issues like I do can be a bit of a chore. The thickness of the foundation also led to another issue I hadn’t imagined. It has ruined my makeup sponges one by one! It really does cake onto my real techniques sponge and is pretty difficult so clean off, to the point that cleaning the sponge it has actually ripped when trying to get all the excess foundation from it. If you use your fingers or a makeup brush to apply your foundation then this probably won’t be an issue! The only other little gripe is the bottle. If you were wanting to take the black plastic lid from the bottle (to get out of the last of the product that the pump can’t reach) then be prepared for foundation to go EVERYWHERE. It’s sealed so tight when really it could have just been a screw cap maybe? It’s not a huge issue though, just maybe open it up somewhere easy to wipe down when the foundation inevitably goes everywhere haha. In all I still use this foundation daily. It really is great for somebody who wants a cheap but really nice quality foundation, and it lasts almost all day for me. It’s just a shame it likes to eat my makeup sponges and dry to my skin like cement!

Quality changed, doesn’t look or feel the same. First time buying it on Amazon.

Arrived next day fully sealed in packaging

I only decided to try a different foundation because my current one is still darker than my skin tone. This is the WORST foundation I have ever used. Before trying this foundation, my older foundation went on my face flawlessly with no issues. It would last all day, cover every pore and didn’t go on cakey or leave patches. So when I tried this foundation and had issues, I knew straight away it’s the foundation that is the problem. I got the palest shade, so I don’t know if the palest colour has a different formula to the other shades but it is like water and has a powder-y feel to the foundation (almost like there’s talc in the foundation). But there’s no talc in the ingredients. So it’s no surprise that it didn’t cover my face at all because it’s so watery.. it goes on patchy and just doesn’t cover equally. I’ve never even worn this once because I immediately wiped it off and binned it.

Great foundation

I used to use a different brand that was twice the price but with the cost of living I've had to look to save money. This is amazing. I would say probably better and a DW dupe. Great value for money, lasts ages and you can even untwist the top to get the last bits out. Has a little pump so really easy application. Lasts literally all day. I apply with a damp sponge.

mijn nieuwe favoriet. Dekt oneffenheden en kringen heel goed. Blijft ook lang zitten.

I’ve been buying the product from Amazon for a few years and still have the same problem the pump stops working after a while. I’ve purchased it from Shoppers Drug Mart and have the same problem but great coverage

Fond de teint très mate et couvrant

Livré en temps et en heure mais il n’y avait pas de capuchon. On ne sait pas s’il a été utilisé, est ce qu’il est à moitié remplis ??? C’est dommage.

I bought the Medium Olive and received it yesterday. It was the nearest to my own skin color that I could see on the chart, but it is actually a shade too light. I put it on with the correct flat Foundation Brush. The foundation went on SO flawlessly with no streaking, It feels like I am not wearing any makeup at all, and it has good coverage! I love the fact that it is cruelty-free and as natural as possible. UPDATE : After I wore it for a few hours... I have never had this happen with a foundation before, but the skin around my mouth began peeling off! I had to clean off this foundation to get the peeling off. I then did a facial to restore my skin back to flawless again...with my own aromatic non-toxic Biblical skincare products, which I created and have used for decades! NOTE #1: I tried the foundation again the next day, using only a very small amount, just to see if this would happen again. Unfortunately it did. Very disappointing. NOTE #2: FYI ..I have worn just about every kind of foundation without reaction..thick Stage makeup for live Performances; all the "El Cheapos" from the age of 10; Paris makeup for a famous mega French company I trained with & worked for decades ago etc. NOTE #3: This is only MY experience with a foundation, so that is what I am stating here. If it works well for others that is good. NOTE #4 : FYI I am a professional Aromatics Compounder for Biblical Healing Skincare and Perfumes. NOTE #5: To the company NYX...this Foundation is basically SYNTHETIC, with a few products included to make it "vegan", which simply means that it does not contain animal products. Please consider reformulating this product to make it Natural and Safe for all women. Thank you for your consideration in this matter!
