So so smelly. I couldn’t put this on my face due to the sunscreen-y stench. I tried it on the back of my hand and the color match is amazing, but it seemed rather pasty.

Honestly surprised at how much I disliked this product. It wears terribly, no matter how I prep or not prep my skin prior to application. It is extremely oily, and collects in odd places. Save your money. Not good.

Meh
Not a fan. Every time I use this, oil/water squirt out first - like if you don’t shake the ketchup bottle before using. Weird consistency. Maybe I got a bad one, but seems to be totally separated.

Can’t be without
Absolutely love this product. Specially how practical it is with the SPF 30. I have melasma and the coverage is amazing without being too heavy for everyday wear.

Nice Surprise
I’m very picky about any foundation I buy and I had to try this one because it said glow lol and all its benefits, and it did not disappoint. This is very nice coverage as I do have Pink tones underneath. It is pricey for the size but I’ believe it’s worth it . but BUT

Lovely finish and wears beautifully all day
I purchased this during the savings event because it is a bit more expensive than I like to spend for an everyday foundation. I have to say the texture surprised me since it is listed as a liquid, but mine is very thick almost like a cream-gel type feeling. Weird texture aside, this is a beautiful foundation for every day wear. It does contain chemical sunscreen, so it has that sunscreen smell. I personally prefer to not have SPF in my foundation as you aren't applying enough to have it work well as a sunscreen and I need to put one under anyhow, but I am willing to put up with the smell since the result is so lovely. The coverage is a medium and I don't find it builds up much beyond that, although it will layer gracefully without getting patchy or lifting. It doesn't every fully set down, but my wear time has been very good even without powdering. I have dry skin and I didn't experience any drying with this foundation, and I didn't find it to emphasize texture. It gives a lovely smoothed effect with a lightly luminous finish.

Foundation went on smoothly and evenly at first glance. A few minutes after application i started noticing tingling and some itchiness on my face :/

Perfect Base Foundation with SPF!
I love this foundation!
- Doesn’t settle into my fine lines as much as other foundations do
- It’s 30 SPF
- It’s lightweight
The perfect foundation for base makeup. I used to put on sunscreen under my makeup, but with this I don’t have to which is so nice.
The only downside is the price point. It’s definitely expensive… especially in today’s economy. But other than that, I do think it is a great quality foundation to have and I would recommend it if you can afford it!

Great for daily wear
I am a faithful luminous silk user, but tried this for an every day look. I was very surprised at the coverage. Medium right without much effort. No oxidation I’ve noticed. Very creamy and blendable. Will buy again!

I absolutely love this Hourglass makeup. It provides beautiful coverage that lasts all day without feeling heavy on my skin. The formula is completely buildable, so I can go from a natural look to a more polished finish with ease. My favorite part is the gorgeous glow it gives my face—it leaves my skin looking radiant and healthy. Definitely a staple in my makeup routine.
