True Skin Serum - Foundation

The product I have been looking for

I have been looking for a tinted moisturizer for years now that actually has coverage and lasts all day and also isn’t greasy and finally I found this product! Perfect for days when I want to even out my skin tone but don’t want to wear full makeup. And I love that it has skincare products in it and is so hydrating. Will definitely repurchase!

Disappointed

As many others have said, I wanted so much to love this product, I had read great things about it. Unfortunately, it pills on my skin as well. It just rolls up. It was a waste of money, and fairly pricey. Very disappointed.

Patchy

Never broke me out but is extremely patchy, flaky, and streaky. Very disappointed.

Returned

Used this product 3 times and it was so incredibly patchy on my oily combination skin & caused cystic acne I haven’t had in years. Ultimately returned it due to it being unusable

Disappointed

I had such high hopes for this product. It did not live up to the hype. The color did not stay true after applying. was not true to when it first came out of bottle. color. Also left my skin greasy looking. I gave in and bought the Giorgio Armani foundation. There is a reason it is as expensive, but worth the extra cost.

Love the brand but not this product

I really wanted to love this product but it has NO coverage. I had to return it.

On of my top two

One of my two favorite bases. It’s so velvety smooth and leaves a natural skin like finish that doesn’t settle into pores. I use just around my nose and on my chin and it blends right in. The shade Mallorca is a good match for the Dior Fave and Body in 1W which is my other fave.

Rancid

Great product aside from it smelling rancid upon first use. What a disappointment. Be sure to check the scent prior to purchasing. The sample I originally tried was fine. Would recommend if it hadn’t been for this big error.

Great Clean Product and Coverage

So far I’m very happy with Ilia foundation! I like the lightness of the foundation and natural look and its clean makeup ingredients!

Maybe.

The application is easy, and definitely buildable. However, it smells a little like old lipstick when first applied, and doesn’t seem to hold very long either. It’s nice for winter because the formula isn’t drying.

Watery skin tint

Catalina is definitely more orange. The product is super runny / watery. Drips all over the bottle when you pump out. Would not call this a foundation this is an extremely sheer skin tint.

Not for fair skin

This review is more for the fair skin girlies, I tried every light shade in this line and all of them left a weird orange/ yellow cast. The shades online do not at all match in person. Try them in store before purchasing. The shade recommendations are wayy off.
