The reason? Because this foundation by itself doesn’t “disappear” my pores as much as I’d like, so I want the extra skin-smoothing help. I’ve tried it with a bunch of different primers and powders (my shade’s Medium, and I’m a MAC NC42 for reference), and my favorite way, where the finish is delightfully dewy but not shockingly shiny, is when I start with a pore-blurring primer underneath (and I like Make Up For Ever Smoothing Primer for this). Like, it can venture into “editorial” (air quotes) magazine territory, where it can start to look…how shall I put this? - greasy? (If you aren’t careful.)īut if you can find the right mix, the finish can look incredibly natural, like you’re straight chillin’ at the beach eating a shave ice without a care in the world… I think the finish is what many people will like about this: we are talking DEWY.

I hope they bring those powders back someday…Īnywho! The idea was natural-looking skin that looked right at home, whether at the beach or the grocery store, a.k.a in everyday life.Īqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation reminds me of that old tinted moisturizer. Then you’d use a stick foundation to pop a little more foundation on all the places where you wanted more coverage. Now about that sheerness… This stuff definitely doesn’t cover every freckle and mole, and it reminds me of something from back in they day… I don’t know if you’ve been following BECCA for long, but waaaaaay back (years ago), they had a foundation system with a very sheer tinted moisturizer you’d use all over your face. The look really reminds me of the look I get with NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, except that Pure Radiant does provide more coverage. Dior’s has a more matte finish and the fullest coverage the one from MAC has more of a semi-matte finish and a medium coverage, and BECCA’s has the sheerest, dewiest finish, meaning that it reflects more light than the other two. Where does it stand with those two? Well, I think it stands TALL, especially if you like dewy finishes.
