IL MAKIAGE Foundation

Can I ask if you have tried this and have been happy with it ? I have done the match thing about 3 times and seem to get a different colour match each time. Yes I am answering differently I guess but am a bit flummoxed by it. Is there anywhere you can see this to buy?

I had it, colour match was pretty good but I didn't get along with it. It certainly wasn't the flawless kind of coverage they advertised and it separated really badly.

I could have sent it back for a refund but I didn't. However when I left a review saying I didn't love it, they sent me a voucher for the entire cost of the foundation. I got some lipsticks which I actually did love from there with the voucher.

I love it tbf. Any issues I’ve had with colour matching they’ve sent a different shade foc. I find their customer service is excellent x

I tried it out of curiosity mainly and it really wasn't for me.

I think if you have normal to oily skin, and particularly want a fuller more matte coverage then it would be a good fit but that is the opposite of what I'm after as someone with dry skin who prefers a light feeling makeup with some glow. I hadn't realised when I ordered it (probably didn't look into it sufficiently) that the formula would be so matte.

The colour match was ok but not like the adverts where all the women are aghast at how it exactly matches them as though they can't even tell it's on their face 🙄. It was workable but a bit deep.

I sent it back and had no issues getting a refund, as a positive.

I found this too heavy and cakey, very full coverage, similar to Doublewear.
not my thing at all!

Glad it's not just me! I bought the light coverage and the colour match is great.
I tried it with the brush and prior to buying every video I saw must be someone trained in makeup or who watches YouTube videos about applying it because it didn't work for me.
Streaky, sat on my pores, showed up my little wrinkles ..
I sometimes use a sponge and apply it sparingly for extra coverage (a pea size across my eyes, nose and chin) and I don't mind that, but I won't buy it again.

I love it for a night out, but it's too heavy for daily wear for me. The colour match was good though, I struggle to find foundation because I'm so ghostly pale!

However their customer service is amazing and definitely worth trying just for that. My first colour match was too orange so they replaced it free of charge (letting me keep the orangey one which I gifted to a more sunkissed friend!)

They also sent me a £15 voucher which I used to buy lipstick which I also adore. The second colour match was perfect. The formula is very good if you like full coverage, best with a good primer. It's worth a try just for the customer service, if you don't like it they'll give you a voucher to use towards other stuff, and all their products are great and good quality.

I got the light coverage foundation- the colour match was really good and it makes my skin look great. Not at all thick or cakey. I did not, however, like the concealer that I got to match it. It was very heavy for my skin and collected in the creases below my eyes. So I will definitely buy the foundation again, but I'll stick with my Glossier concealer.

Thank you all - this is very useful. Yes I suppose I was swayed by those videos. It does sound as if it would be too much coverage for me.
