Anyone tried iL Makiage foundation?

[Anonymous]

I’m intrigued. It’s looks too good to be true. Anyone try it?

I use it and like it but it’s not as good as the ads make it out to be.

I tried it. It was pretty good, the original match was a bit too yellow for me and they sent me a new bottle free of charge that was an exact match. I find it to be a full-coverage foundation, and I tend to prefer something a bit lighter but I do use it on days where my face needs a lot of help.

I tried it and don't like it. It's heavy and sinks into lines and pores more than other foundations I've used. It also oxidized and what started as a perfect color match was orange by the end of the day. I returned it.

Same, right down to the slightly yellow tone the first try. I find that it looks good, but feels so heavy that I never wear it.

Felt really heavy and had a chemical smell. Color match was good, though.

Thanks all. I guess I’ll pass.

Color was totally off and it felt sticky. Then I returned it. Got charged anyway. I would not recommend.

One of my African American employees uses it. She is beautiful.

This! I’ve purchased 3 bottles and I don’t think I’ll re-order. I’m 54, with dry skin and the foundation can look streaky and obvious if I don’t meticulously blend it out with a blender brush. The ads show the application as being simple and a perfect match; agree that the color match is excellent but the makeup seems to paint over my pores…doesn’t really absorb well if I use more than a tiny amount and then it’s very sheer coverage. Not builable on my skin.

I’ve also purchased the liquid concealer. My tried and true Cover Girl in the lipstick tube does a superior job compared to il makiage. I have shadowy under eyes - not dark circles, more of a thin area that appears light gray under my eyes that I’ve had since I was a teen. Concealer is a must and il makiage
concealer is ultra sheer with same coverage problem as foundation. I’ll use a tiny amount, blend and end up adding CG concealer on top.

I highly recommend the giorgio armani foundation.

Didn’t work for me at all. I love Yves St. Laurent these days. Much better coverage and light feeling

The color match is just ok.

It's very full coverage. Heavier than I prefer. I'll use the bottle but it's not my holy Grail.

I like it, but I like the concealer more than the foundation. The foundation gets heavy if you layer too much. I think it only works if you really go light with it.
