The foundation matched my skin well, but the shipping took much longer than expected. The tracking updates were inconsistent, so I wasn’t sure when my order would actually arrive.
Illamasqua makeup has amazing pigmentation and stays in place for hours. Everything I’ve tried has performed beautifully, especially the blushes.
It’s a bit pricey for the products
The makeup pigments are rich and long-lasting. I enjoy experimenting with their bold color options.
Illamasqua has some of the most pigmented makeup products I’ve ever used. The colors are vibrant, easy to blend, and stay in place for hours without fading.
Illamasqua makeup offers rich pigmentation and lasts for hours without fading. It works especially well for creating bold looks.
A tiny drop goes a very long way because the pigment payoff is so intense. It holds up beautifully against sweat and oil throughout long, 10 hour workdays without separating or setting into fine lines.
Bold makeup with strong pigmentation. Great for creative looks.
The foundation is good, My complaint is that it became cakey after several hours.
Illamasqua makeup has really bold pigmentation and works especially well for creative or full-glam looks. Some products took a little practice to use properly, but once blended, everything looked beautiful and lasted a long time.
feels natural yeah but idk if it actually does much?? my skin didnt get worse but not super better either. packaging cute tho lol
price hurts a bit
Illamasqua lipstick is amazing for my light skin tone. It also stays put for a long time and doesn’t dry out my lips.
Was excited to try Illamasqua makeup but the foundation oxidized like crazy. I put it on in the morning and by lunchtime my face looked orange. I tried two different shades and same problem. Its expensive makeup but I wasted money. Gave both away now.
Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation is full coverage for real. Covered my acne scars better than most. You only need a tiny bit. Can look heavy if you use too much tho, learned the hard way. Lasts all night.
Love the bold colors and long wear, though some shades are a bit too dramatic for daily use.
Their foundation starts off cute, then betrays you by clinging to every dry patch like a bad situationship. Within hours, it flakes off like you’ve been baking in a desert. Shade range is decent, but the staying power? Nonexistent. Pure catfish makeup.
Promising coverage but oxidized on my skin after a few hours. The thick glass bottle is beautiful but inconvenient for daily use.
Bold and unapologetic. That’s Illamasqua for you—I love the intense pigmentation of their eyeshadows and lipsticks, pure colour payoff. However, I did find that the foundation has a slightly sticky texture and felt a bit heavy on my skin, especially in humid weather. Worth it if you’re aiming for high-impact, creative makeup, but maybe prep with a lightweight primer.
Maybe I have chosen the wrong foundation shade for it caked and felt dry when applied.
The foundation gives a smooth coverage but it is somehow has a sticky and heavy feel. Clogs my pores.
Bold, artistic, and super pigmented.
This foundation feels lightweight but gives really good coverage. It blends easily and leaves my skin looking smooth and natural I love that there are so many shades to choose from. It does cling a little to dry patches, so I make sure to moisturize well before using it.
