L.A. Girl Pro Coverage Liquid Foundation, Fair, 0.95 Fl Oz, GLM642

I saw tons of reviews for the white when researching this foundation. However, I had been searching for a natural-looking foundation under $20 that doesn't accentuate my 39-year-old facial lines or build up in them. I have a bag full of foundations I tried recently, due to the aging of my skin and my old foundation no longer cutting it. This is my new go-to. It has done the best job (and was under $10 so I didn't mind to try it). It does not accentuate anything, such as wrinkles or pores, but smooths and covers well. It is full coverage and does surprisingly well at it, and I needed that due to age spots and blue under-eye circles. I don't have time going to work in the morning to worry about concealer as well. I needed a product like this that was one-step coverage. It can transfer a little upon touching it throughout the day, but that's my only complaint. Fair is their lightest color next to white. Lighter-toned people might need to blend it with white. I'm pretty pale, but I like the pop of color it adds and use a blush to blend it all the way down my neck-line. I also tried the porcelain color, but that is darker and for someone with heavy pink/orange tones. I would love to see a shade between white and fair with more of a creamy ivory color without the need to mix (time is everything) but until then, this is the best available for my needs, and I'm so happy to have tried it.

To preface I have been trying out some products that are not as high end as what I have been used to using. I've been feeling it's often a waste. Sooo, I decided to get this foundation after some research and I love it. I have dry skin and am middle aged. I don't have deep lines, but some laxity here and there, but nothing terrible. I have been using this for about 8 days or so after going to the store to purchase a darker shade to mix with the fair which is just a tad too light for my light to medium complexion with yellow/golden undertones. Keeps me hydrated and doesn't settle in to any of my few lax areas. I never powder and this stays luminous, but not damp on my skin. I can feel an ever so slight moist feeling if I touch my face, but not off putting nor like it is slipping around. I ended up getting Natural and use 3/4 fair mixed with 1/4th natural. When these run out I'll get the white to mix with Natural. Great price (not my usual $55.00 foundation) and really looks beautiful on the skin. Could build to a full coverage easily, but I like the decent medium coverage it gives with the first application. My co worker even commented if I was using a new foundation as she is very dry. She has purchased it here on Amazon as well and is loving it. Lastly, I've used a primer and also applied with no primer. I always use a primer, but do like this for work without and it lasts a full 9 hours on me and I work in healthcare and my days very busy and laborious! Don't think it would work well on an oily complexion.

Pretty good bought it for goth looks it dose take a minute to set though would recommend 🫶🏼

its very buildable, you can put it on lighter and have a more sheer look or you can do multiple layers and have a solid white base. it can feel a little heavy if you want a solid white base but its not miserable to wear.

So i thought i'd submit a review for this new LA girl foundation since there isn't too much info available as yet.I bought this recently because the packaging was awesome and it excited me. Yeah.. impulse buy! Don't know what possessed me to buy an illuminating foundation when i have super oily skin. So anyway, i am somewhere smack in the middle of NC42 - 44. Can lean closer to either way, depending on the season. And the shade i picked was Bronze.The packaging is a classy plastic bottle that comes with a pump and a cover. Yay for hygiene! The bottle is double-walled, so you can't predict your shade by just looking at it. Please test it before buying! really!My first attempt scared me a little...it was sooo orange and seemed a bit too dark. And yes, it was super dewy. I set it with Palladio rice powder but i quickly became shiny...a greaseball really. It looked gross as the day went on. Was super bummed as i couldn't return or exchange it since i had bought it during a discounted clearance sale. Not that it was thattt cheap a discount too! But its the wastage that mostly bothers me. Besides i'm pretty sure the shades up and down were too light and too dark respectively.So anyway, I suffered with orange face through a whole work day, although i must say, it didn't look too bad in natural light.Second attempt....because i'm not a quitter! I tried it again. This time, i only used a teeny bit of my Benefit porefessional primer to dab on the cheeks where i have some scarring and nowhere else. I applied a lesser amount of the foundation and dabbed with my RT blender. It does spread easily and smoothly and i would say coverage is medium. This time i set it with my Ben Nye Neutral Set powder and the banana powder under the eye.This took away all the shine and gave it a matte finish that was beautiful. The powder also seemed to correct the orangeness of the foundation. I was actually really pleased with how smooth and flawless my skin looked! I will use it as a day to day foundation until i use up but i probably won't repurchase. Look at the cons for why!Pros:- Packaging is great. Looks on par with high end foundations with the exception of plastic instead of glass. Who cares?-Comes with a pump!-Will look great on dry-skinned ladies who want a bit of a glow-Can work for oily skinned ladies with a (very good) mattifying powder-Easy to blend and doesn't settle into pores-Applied with the RT sponge, there was no caking or creasing (I can imagine this happening if too much product is used though)-Gives a beautiful finish if you don't use too much-Lasts throughout an entire workday and doesn't oxidize.Cons-Shades lean a little too orange/red (at least the darker ones)-Not transfer proof (it even stained the wire of my earphones) - This is a deal breaker for me.-It has a fairly strong synthetic scent which I hate but it dissipates after application.-Cannot be used without a good mattifying powder for oily skinned people or you will look like a ball of grease right off the bat.-Might not work well with primers if you have oily skin
