NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Can't Stop Won't Stop Foundation, 24h Full Coverage Matte Finish - Natural

Warning this sets quickly, so you must be fast when applying/blending it. I got the light porcelain and it is beautiful on my pale pink skin. The coverage is buildable. It is a very good price for such a generous amount. The texture is creamy and it is easy to apply. It doesn't settle into my lines either. I am very pleased.

The softest makeup brush I've ever used. This one brush, which I've seen so much hype on, completely changed my makeup look. My previous brushes left a lot of streaks and no matter how much I tried to ignore it, it really did hurt my face using it. But this brush is soooo soft I always look forward to applying my foundation because of it. No streaks, no patchiness, and no poking! Its for sure worth the money and you wont regret giving it a chance! Very sturdy also, its made of great high quality material 👌

First off, if you have dry skin*, you should NOT be purchasing a “Matte” foundation whatsoever as these will always be more drying than any other formula. I have normal-to-oily skin, so this formula wears very well on my skin. This foundation feels super light weight and looks very natural when applied correctly to clean, moisturized skin (the key is minimal product in T-zone). It blends to perfection whether you use a damp makeup sponge or foundation brush. This particular formula also has a wonderful shade range and I was easily able to find a shade that matched my yellow undertones precisely (shade Warm Vanilla). My skin becomes more and more oily throughout the day, so this foundation does begin to transfer for me after about 5 hours of wear. However, this isn’t a big deal for me, as I can easily apply a little more foundation or powder if I need a longer wear, without worrying about a heavy thickness. I am giving this foundation 4 stars because the initial application is not “Full Coverage” as advertised. However, this foundation does build beautifully and can become full coverage after an additional layer. Overall, I am very happy with this affordable foundation and have repurchased it 3 times now. I do my makeup almost every day and each component has lasted me about 6 mos. *For more dry-leaning skin, I would recommend Rimmel’s Lasting Finish 25Hr Breathable Long Wear Foundation (wow that’s a mouthful). It’s the most beautiful non-matte drugstore formula I’ve tried. (Check out my ELF Brow Kit brows in shade Medium for an affordable brow option(; )

Tip to prolong use of this product at the end of this review. I've purchased this NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation many times. I have fair skin and find that the shade Alabaster works well for me as it isn't too dark or orange but also doesn't white wash me out either. I find that in some cosmetic brands the lightest foundation is still a bit too dark for me or just not the right shade. I believe this brand offers a few good options for fair-skinned people, it may just take some testing to find the best one. I like that this foundation is vegan and cruelty-free. I also like that there isn't any strong scent with it because I don't like using cosmetics that have much smell to them. This foundation offers good coverage and is buildable. I apply it with a damp real techniques foundation sponge by tapping it into my skin and it applies very evenly, easily and quickly like that. I wear it on top of a lightweight SPF moisturizer (Eucerin) and a primer (ELF luminous putty primer) and it works well over those. I then set with a powder (ELF halo glow). I don't find the finish of this foundation to be too matte/drying, but not greasy either. It feels comfortable over my moisturizer and primer and doesn't ever feel too built up. TIP: When you use up most of it and not much or nothing comes out of the pump anymore, you can still get several uses out of the bottle if you just twist the lid so that it is no longer aligned with the bottle (you can do this with lid on or off) and then pretty much just force it off by pulling/bending the top and the bottle away from each other until it pops off. If this is too hard to do by hand you can also use pliers or something, but I've been able to do it by hand. Just be careful and maybe do it in your sink so if it pops off suddenly you don't get makeup flinging anywhere. I've gotten used to doing it in a way where that isn't a problem but until you've done it a few times. I then just turn the bottle upside down and shake the product down onto my finger (or whatever you want to pour it on) and apply, then repeat as much as needed. NOTE: I recommend popping the lid back on for storage so that the makeup doesn't dry out inside between uses and you get all you can out of it. To me it isn't difficult to remove every time until it's gone.

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

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.

Best foundation brush I've tried from a drugstore brand by FAR.

Easy bendable, very soft brush with great quality

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!
