Born This Way Foundation

ATTENTION OILY SKIN PEOPLE
SPOILER: THIS IS AN AMAZING PRODUCT!!!

I have massively oily skin, and I stay in a tropical country high in heat and humidity (Malaysia). This foundation is my holy grail now, because it's the only one out of so many that has managed to stay on my face well enough for hours on end, withstanding oil and sweat. I've tried Tarte, MAC, Fenty, Huda …Read more

A high silicone based foundation. This reminds me of that Physicians Formula Spotless foundation. Very oily and not flattering on my skin. I wouldn't repurchase.

Initially upon application, I absolutely love this foundation. It has a lovely, dewy and skin-like finish that looks very flattering. I apply with a damp beauty blender and still get very good coverage.
My issue with this foundation comes in after a few hours wear in the form of a very oily/greasy and unflattering look. No matter whether I wear primer, set with spray or mattifying powder, I …Read more

I love how my face actually has a bit of a sheen to it & not just from my setting spray. The finish is really nice and natural and holds up well throughout the day. it still looks great! With it w/o primer it sits so well and it literally looks like my skin, but better. I love this foundation and I’ve recommended it to all of my girlfriends/guy friends who need a new foundation.

I've gone through oily skin to normal skin. And I've finally decided that it is not a good foundation for its price.
For oily skin without any dehydration, it goes on beautifully. But then within 3 hours, it becomes super greasy and much darker. No creasing or breakup, just greasy. Also, it transfers everywhere. (I only apply less than a pump. To be fair, the coverage IS …Read more

I have acne-prone normal skin that varies from dry (winter) to semi-oily (summer).

- Will last all day IF i use it correctly (see Cons)
- Perfect medium coverage
- Great yellow undertones
- No breakouts

CONS:
- I CANNOT use ANY dewy …Read more

I'm really dissapointed with this foundation since I thought it would be great for my combo, dehydrated skin. It looks okay when first applied and sure it is hydrating but it has no staying power whatsoever. In just few hours it started to break up and crease and ended up looking horrible. No matter what I used under this foundation the result was the same every time. It's really not …Read more

When you first apply this product it looks very natural and flawless however during the day it does not hold up. After about two hours you're left with a face that looks like a grease ball. I would also not buy this as it causes breakouts and those weird bumps/texture. Also, some pale shades pull very orange so be careful when colour matching!!

At first this looked beautiful both on the mirror and in photographs. But throughout the day it started getting cakey and with a terrible aspect on my nose and mouth area, to the point I had to wash my whole face in the middle of a workday. I must say I sweat a lot on the face but with foundations such as Lancome and Dior - and even cheaper ones such as MAC's Studio Fix Fluid it was NOT a …Read more

I have normal skin type and really like this foundation. has a really silky flawless finish that is buildable to upto full coverage. I have used this foundation for professional photographs in events and found that it photographs well.
