Neo Nude - Natural Glow Foundation

Best foundation I’ve ever used

This is a great foundation for dry skin, and if you like very natural looking LIGHT coverage. People writing reviews, talking about how it can’t cover certain thing must not’ve read the description very well. This is my go to, every day foundation. It’s just enough coverage to cover up some of the redness on my cheeks, and makes my skin look so glowy. It’s hard to tell I’m even wearing anything. I moisturize/prime my face with Marjula oil, and then apply with a beauty blender or my fingers, and it just looks perfect.

This is my all time favorite. If you are not ready to let your significant see you au naturel, it’s a perfect night time complexion enhancement. Super sheer and light. Also buildable for a fuller coverage look. Night or day, this is perfection.

Formula is fantastic however I have to agree with several other reviewers- all the shades in the fair/light range are all too orange on my skin. Disappointing so am returning-

Best white mixer!

Shade 0 is meant to be a white mixer. I’m so pasty that I could probably get away with wearing it on its own honestly - but I love it for lightening up BB creams that are too dark (and that’s every single one I’ve tried so far lol). Most other white mixers are higher coverage and more matte, which compromises the sheer, dewy finish that makes a BB cream appealing to me. This one mixes beautifully with BBs/CCs and provides a comparable finish. Took off a star simply because the fairest shade after 0, 1.5, is quite orangey and dark. If you’re anywhere near as pale as I am it would be unsuitable to wear on its own without mixing with 0. The formula itself is 5 stars in my book but the shade range could be improved upon.

Need more golden shades

I liked the application and how it looks on. Perfect for winter. However, there should have been a medium with golden undertones. If there was, the color match would have suited a lot better. The shade I tried was 8. Close match, however neutral always looks slightly off on me.

Super lightweight!

I received this free from Influenster. It feels AMAZING on. I honestly forgot I was wearing it several times. It didn't cover blemishes very well, but it did a great job of evening out my skin tone. I tried it without primer or setting powder the first time I used it. I have oily skin, so typically if I wear foundation without primer it will break apart and look like a hot mess. This did not break apart and stayed put (I did still look really oily though). It did seem to transfer though (my phone was COVERED in foundation after one short phone call). The second time I tried it, I used both primer and setting powder. It still looked and felt great before I put on the powder. However, when I tried to apply the powder, it just moved the foundation all over the place and ended up looking super patchy. Overall it feels GREAT, I just need to figure out how to touch it up when I start to get oily without making it look patchy.

Love

I love the texture. Nice and creamy, almost whipped way. There’s a light dewy finish, definitely looks natural and skin like. At first the color was a bit pale, BUT within a minute or two it oxidized and I could barely tell where I applied it. Overall love and would recommend. Going to look for a slightly different shade, but definitely impressed.

PURE WHITE, NOT A FOUNDATION

I was SO excited to be sent this product because of the brand. I have friends that exclusively use luxury products and swear by this brand, so I expected nothing short of luxury. I was very confused when I opened this package and found a pure white foundation. From the images, it shows a slight yellow undertone. But make no mistake- this is solid white. It is sheer, meaning it can be forgiving when you mix it into foundations. I found this to be useful in lightening my foundations that were too dark for me, as I am extremely pale so the lightest shade can sometimes be too dark. The coverage is sheer and buildable, and feels light on the skin. It gives a nice glow. I just wish I could use it on its own without looking ghastly lol! If you love sheer coverage and natural looking beauty, I think you'll love this. Just swatch in person!!

Perfect natural makeup look

I normally do not wear much face makeup at all, and hardly ever do I wear foundation. However, if I were going to wear foundation, this would probably be the one I’d use. It provides light coverage, which is what I prefer, with a dewy/satin finish. It is not mattifying, so it would probably not be the best option for someone with combination to oily skin. I applied to my face with my finger then used a foundation brush to blend. It blended very nicely and I only had to use a very small amount to get the coverage I wanted. As someone who hardly ever wears a full face of makeup, I could definitely tell I had foundation on, so it’s heavier than a tinted moisturizer, but still provides a natural look. Overall, I really enjoyed using this product. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because although, the shade was a perfect match for my skin tone, as soon as I get out in the sun and get some more color on my face, it would be too light. However, this would be my go-to for the winter time.

Great foundation lightener, blends beautifully.

When I received this product for free to try out, I was so excited to try a new type of foundation! Though it turned out to be completely white, it became a blessing in disguise, as I have so many fabulous foundations that are too dark for my extremely pale and crazy skin tone (my closest match is L’Oreal Infallible 24 Hour in Pearl, 400.) After trying the shade on by itself (before I realized it was a foundation brightener) and mostly liking the consistency, I added 50% of the brightener shade of Neo Nude to 50% of the too-dark IT Cosmetics CC Cream in Fair (it has a similar consistency.) I’m pretty sure it worked perfectly, as far as lightening to my skin tone, both while wet and after being blended into skin using a sponge. I am so impressed at how seamlessly the Neo Nude blended into the CC cream. Definitely one of the best, if not the best foundation lighteners I have used! HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who needs a good add in to their foundations, or if you buy a shade too dark of the Neo Nude, but the undertone is right. That would give you double the product ;) I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

It was okay

It was okay. It gives a nice light coverage which is buildable. I found myself using more of this product to cover my face than other foundations. The finish was a little textured. My pores looked accentuated. Applying powder over the foundation only worsened the texture. I tried it with both a sponge and a brush. I preferred the sponge as the brush left lines that took a bit of work to smooth out. The finish was good - it wasn’t overly matte or oily. It didn’t have a strong smell which is nice. Overall it didn’t wow me but it also wasn’t the worst foundation I’ve ever used.

Great buildable foundation

I’ve really been enjoying this foundation because I’ve been wanting a more natural look. This is perfect for that because it’s not super matte and your skin still looks like skin. It didn’t sink into my pores which is another plus. I like the tube design as well as it stands up and you won’t have to force product out. The formula feels like a light gel cream that blends out easily, but you need to work sort of quickly as it does set a little too after a bit. I liked that it was buildable coverage as well, which was perfect for me who just wants a sheer layer, but a bit extra on the red parts of my cheeks. A lot of foundations are too matte for my combo skin, but this was really perfect, not dewy that I looked shiny, and not matte that I looked flaky. I’ll def repurchase as I like how it makes my skin look and evens the color.
