ILIA - True Skin Serum Foundation | Non-comedogenic, Cruelty-Free, Vegan, Weightless Feel, Buildable Coverage, Safe For Sensitive Skin (Maraca SF9)

Coverage: Unlike other hydrating foundations, this one dries down to a satin finish fairly quickly (I’d say 5-10 minutes). I actually loved that finish more than I thought I would because I’m a dewy girl typically. I got light coverage by dabbing the foundation on face and blending out. I got medium coverage when I dipped my kabuki into foundation and applied to my face. I haven’t tried building layers since I’m not a layer girl and light/medium coverage is my preference.Wear: I didn’t notice any creasing, but I did use their serum primer which should help with that. Honestly with light/med coverage, I find it difficult to see when makeup starts wearing off. I will say that I can normally see my nose pores after a full day of work, but they were still covered with this Ilia foundation, so that’s a good sign. Since I have dry skin, I don’t set my makeup with powder so my wear time is reduced. Side note, I’ve heard good things about the Ilia powder so I’m going to give it a shot. Fingers crossed that it’s another win.Hydration: More than anything else, I love how this foundation does not dry out my skin. It’s been years since I’ve used a foundation that didn’t leave me with dry spots on my nose and around my mouth within 2-3 hours. With Ilia, I have no issues with flakes. It’s an absolute game changer for me! One time, I actually forgot to apply moisturizer to my nose because I was rushing. Even then, I had just a few, tiny dry skin flakes on my nose AND it’s the middle of a winter. I was so impressed!Color: I recommend looking at the Ilia site for guidance on which foundation color is for you. I’ve heard some complaints that the color is dull, and before the Ilia foundation dried down , I was a little worried about that too. However, once it’s dry, it looks so naturally beautiful, like a healthier version of your own skin. For those that like more glow, I’ve seen some use Ilia highlighter serum under the foundation. I might try that in the future.Bottom line: I absolutely adore this foundation. It looks so good that I’m actually wearing foundation to work again. I haven’t done that in years because of the flakiness of my previous foundations. It may be on the pricey side, but it is worth it to me. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

Okay, I recently purchased the Kosas foundation before trying this one, which I do like however this one definitely ranks higher and will be my new go-to. It feels amazing going onto my skin (I use my fingers to blend it, not a brush), it doesn’t dry super fast when applying so it’s easy to blend around which I love, it leaves a lovely finish, only con I would say is for a foundation it has pretty light coverage. I was expecting a bit more coverage but it’s okay for me, I would still repurchase. I would definitely say it falls closer to a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. If your looking for a product that evens out your skin tone & covers some light imperfections/scarring & helps enhance your face without totally concealing it, this is it.

i have oily, acne prone skin, acne red and dark scars , and i really love this foundation as a natural look it's so perfect medium coverage and gives you fresh and healthy look without making your skin oily and you can blend it with any thing it's so easy to blend and gives you smooth texture, the only thing that i don't like it is that my skin absorb it quickly so the coverage is for several hours then it's gone 💔,i think that i might buy it again coz it's good for every day look and the price is actually expensive.بشرتي دهنية ومعرضة للحبوب وعندي اثار حبوب حمراء وغامقه ،اعجبني هذا الفاونديشن جداً!! التغطيه متوسطه وملمسه ممتاز عالبشره يخليه (قطعه وحده) و مايدهن البشره ودمجه اسهل شي بالعالم حتى باليد اقدر ادمجه ممتاز جداً للدوام والميكب اليومي بالنسبه لي افضل فاونديشن لكن مشكلته الوحيده انه مايعتبر ثابت تماماً يعني اذا حطيته الصبح الساعه ١٠ الساعه ٥ الليل يصير اخفتى لكن مناسب لي،طبعاً المنتج نظيف خالي من الواد المضره للبشره والجوده ممتازه جداً لكن لو يكون ارخص من كذا بيكون افضل

I have textured skin and a few blemishes, I always want clean makeup and to support women owned business. However, this was not for me. It was not medium coverage and I’m certain it would take an obscene amount of product to reach a medium ‘build up’ of coverage making my face feel greasy and cakey. I know so many people who love this product, wish I was one of them

I am 67 with combination skin that is mostly dry but with a little oil in the t-zone. Until Ilia, I had never tried a clean beauty foundation that I thought was as effective as my regular brands. Now, I have 3 Ilia serum foundations - this more traditional medium coverage no spf version as well as 2 light coverage ones with spf and I absolutely love all three of them. I use this medium coverage foundation whenever I want a more polished, flawless look. It gives a natural, skin-like luminous finish and looks fresh all day. Since I switched to Ilia foundations my generally good skin (for my age) has improved noticeably. The skincare ingredients that are infused into the foundations are the real deal and simplify one’s life. I could absolutely have used this True Skin one when I was younger and had oilier skin, the serum-style foundations tend to be oilier and I’m not sure about them. I will say that using the Ilia serum foundations has improved my slight rosacea and eliminated all of my dry spots; my forehead was always dry no matter what I did and that problem is gone. Bottom line: If you are looking for a clean foundation with excellent performance and medium but very natural luminous coverage, I highly recommend this product.

No problems with the packaging. Except the bottle is always hard to get the cream from the bottom. I sometimes have to put two layers on. It loses some bit by bit as time goes. It's healthy but it has a distasteful smell but felt nice on my face added more moisture. If u have oily skin do not use.

Good product and prompt delivery.

It feels great on my face. This will be my forever make up line.

Estoy casi segura que el producto no es original. Al aplicarlo se tarda horas, HO-RAS en secar sobre la piel. Solo lo usé dos veces y desde la primera me dio dermatitis, por lo cual concluyo que no es hipoalergénico y por lo tanto NO ES EL ORIGINAL. La consistencia es la de cualquier otro maquillaje, huele bien, pero a la hora de aplicarlo es una pesadilla. No lo compren, yo voy a intentar devolverlo y a solicitar mi reembolso.

Eine schöne leichte Foundation, die sehr natürlich aussieht und auch lange hält. Absolut empfehlenswert! Deshalb 5 Sterne von mir :-)
