NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation, Long Lasting, Waterproof, Vegan Formula, Matte Finish, Shade: Beige

Bought this shade by looking at different online swatches, and I’m so so happy it was a perfect match for my light-medium olive skin tone without being too pink or yellowish! For reference I’m ard NC20-25 : ) Regarding the coverage I wouldn’t say this is a full coverage foundation, but it has a decent medium+ coverage on my super oily skin, leaving a beautiful and natural finish without being cakey like wearing a mask. It’s cruelty free too! It’s not completely transfer proof, but most of the foundation is still intact at the end of the day. I lightly applied setting powder on top of the foundation, and only slightly blotted my face late afternoon. This may not work for very dry skin ladies, but it’s a decent drugstore foundation for oily ladies. I would say it feels like wearing a lighter coverage version of Estes Lauder double wear stay in place.

This foundation is amazing! It blends perfectly into my skin and has an incredibly smooth and silky feeling. It is my go to and I can’t see myself getting any other foundation. It’s perfect a high-quality and budget friendly product! I also love that it has a pump, as opposed to squeeze bottle or a screw stick, as it reduces messiness and makes it easier to access.

When I first tried this foundation by NYX I thought I’d found my holy grail. An affordable foundation that it full coverage and actually fits my skin tone (I’m very pale with a lot of redness occasionally and this foundation covers it and matches me so well!) But it comes with quite a few downsides unfortunately that make me hesitate to give 5 stars. Number one is the consistency of the foundation. It’s quite thick, and dries very quickly. It means that the coverage is amazing, almost as good as a concealer, but blending it is kind of a race against time. If you leave it for a few moments too long you’ll find it has dried almost entirely on your face. It’s not a huge problem, but it can be a bit frustrating as you can find yourself using more of the product than needed because it dries so quickly. covering your whole face if you have skin issues like I do can be a bit of a chore. The thickness of the foundation also led to another issue I hadn’t imagined. It has ruined my makeup sponges one by one! It really does cake onto my real techniques sponge and is pretty difficult so clean off, to the point that cleaning the sponge it has actually ripped when trying to get all the excess foundation from it. If you use your fingers or a makeup brush to apply your foundation then this probably won’t be an issue! The only other little gripe is the bottle. If you were wanting to take the black plastic lid from the bottle (to get out of the last of the product that the pump can’t reach) then be prepared for foundation to go EVERYWHERE. It’s sealed so tight when really it could have just been a screw cap maybe? It’s not a huge issue though, just maybe open it up somewhere easy to wipe down when the foundation inevitably goes everywhere haha. In all I still use this foundation daily. It really is great for somebody who wants a cheap but really nice quality foundation, and it lasts almost all day for me. It’s just a shame it likes to eat my makeup sponges and dry to my skin like cement!

I havr used lots of expensive products in the past, but this seems to be thr best of them all so far..

This came without its hygienic sealed lid, and leaked upon delivery onto all the other items in the package. Such a shame to throw it away, it I refuse to use foundation that doesn’t have its sealed hygienic lid.

This looks really good for a few hours but it turns super orange throughout the day. If you use a light setting powder all over it's not too bad but beware!! That said, the consistency is perfect and it's great coverage.

I used to use a different brand that was twice the price but with the cost of living I've had to look to save money. This is amazing. I would say probably better and a DW dupe. Great value for money, lasts ages and you can even untwist the top to get the last bits out. Has a little pump so really easy application. Lasts literally all day. I apply with a damp sponge.

Mine came with a lid & in perfect condition (shade light porcelain) They stopped selling it in stores and it was a NIGHTMARE to find to re-buy - Hopefully this helps someone - since only the lid and not the bottle says the shade name and I'd lost the lid on the one I was replacing: If your bottle says CSWSF01.3 and the bottom text says 20Y100, this is your shade! Used this foundation for YEARS and it's always done right by me! I have very dry skin but attend a lot of all-day events with a lot of makeup on my face and it's never done me wrong :) Give it a good shake before first use!
