I have super oily skin , ance, and acne scars and discoloration, and I LOVE this foundation it gives me the perfect amount of coverage and makes my skin look seamless, i love TOO FACED Products...they work with my skin so effortlessly
Suzie Garcia Same here boo, my skin is more combo leaning more towards oily but my acne and acne scars are major but this foundation just keeps my skin fresh and dewy without the oiliness, I guess some people are just not loving this foundation 😢
Atomic Blonde , me either super oily , and oil goes through foundation in an hour , it gets super greasy and starting to slide away ( being cakey)! Can you recommend this foundation to this terrible skin as mine !?
If Too Faced came out with a mattifying Born this Way foundation it would be a dream come true! I love this foundation for how natural it looks, but it also goes super oily on me and transfers off quite a bit.
+Robin Cramer OMG how amazing would it be. If they could keep the same finish just make it last a bit longer for us oily girls. It would be perfection 😍😍
Forever my fave reviewer for oil skin. I value your opinions when it comes to makeup overall since you do have same skin type as me. Thanx for the reviews. Have you done oily grail makeup products for oily skin? Like the products you can't live without.
I am SUPER oily and I use this for my everyday foundation. I do use Rimmel's Stay Matte primer underneath the foundation, powder on top, and use Urban Decay's de-slick setting spray most days, though. Because my work day is long (~12 to 14 hours spent away from home on work days), I also use blotting paper once or twice while out. This is a great non-irritating, non-cakey foundation that doesn't promote oil, but also does nothing to control it. I'm a NC40 in MAC and Sand in this foundation. This foundation does not oxidize. :)
Nikkia, I have combo/oily skin and love BTW! When I reviewed this, I tried it out a second day, dusting a light amount of loose translucent powder over my primer before applying the foundation. It helped it stay shine free longer! :) Loved your review!
I have extreme combination skin. Meaning, the areas that are oily are VERY oily. The areas that are dry are extra dry too. For me, this has got to be the best foundation I've ever tried. I have a problem with texture and it lasting all day. All the bad reviews steered me away from this for the longest time, but I wanted to give it a shot. Literally lasts all day (I've worn for 15 hours before), does not accentuate my dry patches and has amazing oil control. It doesn't wear off unevenly or settle in my pores. I have bad hyperpigmentation and it covers it so well and I don't need concealer. It's probably the most perfect foundation I've ever found I'm not sure why people tend to hate it!
I watch your youtube videos on a daily basis and honestly, you have literally saved my life when it comes to makeup. I have incredibly oily, acne prone skin and I watched all these youtube videos on all this nice makeup but whenever I tried doing it, it didn't work and would just come off. It got to the point where I didn't wear makeup because I looked better without it than with it as I would just be a cakey, pore mess. However, with the help of your videos I have managed to find the right foundation (it's expensive but the double wear is my absolute favourite- the dupes for it don't sit as nice on my skin) and the right skin and makeup routine and it has honestly changed my life. Although makeup isn't everything, it has given me a new found sense of confidence and I'm able to go out and live a bit more and honestly, that is mostly down to your videos. I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your makeup wisdom (I guess that's what it is) with all of us. You have helped me so much.
Did you use a primer? Please try NYX Angel Veil primer. It's supposed to be a dupe for the Hourglass primer. Love to see half and half to compare how the 2 wear throughout the day.
Am did you find a review yet? I was testing this foundation today again and i thought - i have that primer. I tried it with the primer. It looks awful with EVERY primer so far including this one. I really hate this foundation. It looks nice without anything under it, but i cannot wear it that way. I dont even want to wear it longer than initial application now, its a total mess. Very patchy and sinks into pores. Without a primer, it looks very natural, but its an oilslick on me then.
Lesieva You can still return it! I've returned and exchanged many online orders at the store. I didn't have a receipt twice but showed them the packing slip and email confirmation and they still took it back. Also, if you order on Sephora or Ulta website, your previous order history should work too.
I'm oily.. if I wear it with illamasqua matte veil primer I stay oil free for upto 12 hours but if I use it with any other primer I get oily after a few hours.. love this foundation with the matte veil primer
I know this video is older but wanted to make a recommendation. I recently started mixing this with my Estée Lauder Double Wear and it’s working out so well! I have oily skin and always have a hard time finding a finish that I like that is also long lasting. Adding this to the double wear seriously takes it to the next level. Also, I think that would be a fun video series- like what foundation combos work well and what kind of results they produce. Love your videos! Thank you!
I have the same problem! Bums me out! I actually love the way this foundation feels but just doesnt last long enough. Ive had better luck with MAC, I just hate the smell of it.
Kaci Barnett I know it looks good when you first put it on but in a couple of hours it starts to separate on the forehead and around the nose inner cheek area so kinda sucks..I think it will be perfect for dry skin..
Hi Nikkia! I've tried this foundation and we have very similar skin....I feel like I can only wear it in the winter time. This is definitely not my summer foundation. Love your videos girl!
I'm oily and I live in Indonesia which is superhot everyday. And I love this foundation. Just use mattifying primer and it will last around 6-8hours and even if it's start to get oily, it won't have any separation and just shine beautifully.
I absolutely love love love your reviews!! Never stop doing them please! You are always truthful and honest about your opinion and i love that about you, keep doing you!
I have insanely oily skin too & this is actually one of my favorite foundations! Although, I work at Clinique & next to Estee Lauder and I'm going to have to check out Estee double wear now that you have mentioned it in your other videos!
I have a love/hate relationship with this foundation like no other!! It makes my skin look more FLAWLESS than any foundation I've ever used in my life, but like you, I get too oily throughout the day with it. I've noticed if I use my Hourglass Veil Mineral primer (thank you so much for recommending it!!!) and my RCMA no color powder to bake close to my t-zone, I can get a decent 8-9 hours of wear out of it, provided I'm not doing anything to overheat myself. I live in the United States in Tennessee so the humidity here kills all of my foundations! Oily skins worst nightmare is horrid humidity😩but I try every trick I can to use this anyway because my god it's so beautiful on the skin!!!
+Hollywood Mishap it is beautiful isn't it. Good choice of products too. We've just hit summer here in Australia and it's soo hot. I feel your pain girl 😭
you help me so much you have no idea.... i took your advice and got nars sheer glow and i thought it was gonna make me greasy asf but when you said it works for oily skins and its your holy grail i was like i haveeeee to try it, and i love it! thanks bae.
Glad I am not the only one... I did a review on this as well and had such high hopes! Looked amazing at first but then started melting! Ohhhh oily girl probs lol
You're my fav youtuber! Your knowledge on makeup is what I like the most. Big thumbs up for you girl... can I see you testing Clinique Beyond Perfecting foundation? Thanks!!!
You're videos are literally the best!!!! I've struggled with oily skin for so long, one of the best foundations I've found was the bare minerals original spf 15 foundation with the bare minerals mineral vail over the top!!! Sooooooo good for oily skin
It started out very radiant yet each stage yes it changed. Your review is definitely on point and i agree with blotting sheets and a matte version for oily skin. Nikkia another great video thank you!!
Theres nothing better than your own review. i love this foundation. i def have oily skin and this works well for me. i cant do heavy foundation like estee or urban decay. its too heavy and cakey but ive seen reviews where thats oily skin go to foundation. Everyones skin is def different and no 2 are alike.
I also recently decided to try this foundation even though I am insanely oily as well, and it held up way better than I expected! I have a lot of friends with dry/normal skin who raved about it so I didn't think it would work for me, but it just blends so flawlessly that the fact that I still get oily almost doesn't bother me. If you haven't reviewed it already, you should also try the Tarte amazonian clay 12 hour foundation! I was talking to a brand rep recently who told me that amazonian clay helps to balance the skin's sebum production. I absolutely fell in love! A little bit goes a long way and it kept me matte for much longer than this one without looking too cakey!
I wish I would have found you earlier! Absolutely adore your videos and so far, all your little tricks for oily skin have worked. You are such a beauty! Thanks love.
so glad you reviewed this! I purchased this about 2 months ago and was on the fence BUT the color and blurring of imperfections made it worth it! I found that using the Makeup forever HD concealer helped keep the makeup from being oily in my tzone. a small touch of powder halfway through the day will make it look like you freshly applied the foundation! :)
I have the same skin as you and I use this foundation sometimes but after about 8 hrs I do look oily but after a quick powder it will look fresh again. I got my mom hooked on it. It's perfect for aging skin. It makes my mom look radiant.
Just recently discovered you...and I am sooo HAPPY! You give amazing reviews and advice for oily skin. I do have the born this way foundation and it only last 4hrs on me and i am already glowing. But i just bought the estee' lauder double wear...Omg! It's amazing! Sending love all the way from chicago ❤️
I always watch your videos but I dont write all the time. I just want thank you for everything you teach us during the year. I learn so much from you that I look totally different now. My makeup application is so much better and is thank to you. I wish you the best in this new year.
Hello Nikkia maybe you could try the new matte version. I love the finish of this foundation and how natural it looks but it's a bit oily indeed. Thanks! ❤
I havent read the comments so someone could of said it already but this foundation has coconut water or oil not sure which, so it doesn't go well with oily skin. I used it for 2 or 3 months straight, kept using oil sheets to keep a matte looking face throughout the day or powder but it would continue getting oily. someone at ulta mentioned it one day when i decided to change my primer bc i thought that was the issue but turns out the foundation was so yeah, like you see in Nikkia's video the coverage was great but it was not for oily skin at all in my opinion.
Could you show us how you would apply powder throughout the day? Every time I try to add powder to matte down my face I get cakey and it looks horrible 😭 Pls help xx
Omg I've been iffy about purchasing this foundation! Thanks so much for your honest reviews now I'm going to purchase this to use at work or at school! Love you Nikkia 💕
Like you said this is not something that holds your oils very long, HOWEVER this is definitely one of the few foundations that do not separate on my nose/cheek area which happens to me with usually every foundations. That's why I really like this one, I just need to make sure to blot through out the day
I'm so blessed to have found this channel seriously my nose and T zone are THAT oily I have had trouble buying foundations. All my friends rave about Born This Way but honestly by the end of the day I'm cringing because my nose is so greasy and oily! Wish I saw this video before I forked out all the cash to buy it :(
I'm a recent subscriber and so far you are my favorite when it comes to reviewing foundations. I have combination skin and my NOSE is my main struggle! Your video on that area has been helpful ❤
I also have super oily skin, and when I first tried this foundation on it was amazing. Then a few hours past (3hrs) and I was an oily mess! I do love everything about this foundation and also wish they could come out with a matte version! Thanx for your reviews they are so informative!!
+castillo916 you're so welcome lovely. That's pretty much the experience I had. It does touch up very well with a light powder so you could get longer out of it if you wanted 😘
Hi Nikkia! Thank you SO MUCH for doing a review on this foundation. I was on the fence about trying this one. I wanted to hear and see an oily girl try this out. I'm glad I haven't bought it.
Ehh, I just didn't know what to think of this foundation, so I returned it. It does create a nice flawless finish but for my oily skin, it was too Dewey. It also felt "wet" like it didn't stay in place well. Overall, yes it is a good foundation but not the best for oily skin. I also read reviews that if broke ppl out and as someone with acne prone skin, that made me nervous. I hope they will release a specifically mattifying one because the other effects of this foundation are awesome!
Exactly the same issue with me. My T zone is oily and with in couple of hours, my nose was bathing in grease. It is not mate, which i like. So i use EL double wear on my nose and rest of the face I do with BTW, and it works.
I love the foundation for my oily skin, but I also put a powder foundation over it so it takes a long time for the oil to get through the powder. It does really show dry pieces of skin if I have any.
Hi Nikkia I love your channel very much, thank you for always helping us oily skinned ladies and ghents out! I was wondering if you could make a video on your favorite brushes to apply foundation and concealer? Thank you!
Love all your videos Nikkia! Could you do a review for tarte's foundations? The Amazonian clay 12-hour foundation and/or Rainforest of the Sea water foundation? Thank you so much for all your tips ands tricks!!
I have very oily skin and I wear this foundation with the hangover rx primer and Laura mercier setting powder and I love it. It lasts me all day. But I definitely LOVE my Lancôme 24 HR wear foundation. That keeps me matte all day long. Definitely my favorite foundation for oily skin.
i think i am gonna trust your choice for ever!thank you for this testing thing a lot!save my money and buy all the product only good for oily skin as me.thank you !
I'm combination oily on my tzone but this is holy grial for me ! Love the finish and I blot and wear it beautifully ! ❤❤❤❤ I bought it for my kit in 5 shades. This one and my Estée Lauder are part of my kit and love them lots !
+Jordana Vargas that's amazing. I wish i had the same experience with it. Unfortunately makeup doesn't always work the same for everyone even with the same skin types. I love ELDW 😍
Nikkia Joy don't get me wrong I agree with you I wish they would come out with a matte version cuz I get oily on my nose like you... but it's easy to powder and it looks like new ❤❤ love your oily skin type series ! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 best I've seen in RUclips so far
I too hope they release a matte version. I'm currently am on Retin A, minocycline, and clindamycin (all acne meds) and holy cow after 3-4 hours it was a hot mess. I'm so disappointed because I don't have a receipt or the box anymore. I'd love to see a mattifying foundation from too faced, my skin needs it lol
I have combination skin and i was afraid to use this foundation, but it looks gorgeous 😍 it doesn't make me oily for at least 7 hrs If i set it. I love it i really really recommend it!
I think it would be great if you can do a video about what would be the best skin care routine for oily skin?! I struggle the most trying to find good skin care products to help for oily skin and keeping my skin healthy
I bought the BTW foundation and I have the same problem, though not to the same extent. Our weather here in New Orleans is so crazy though, its hard to get a foundation that looks great all year long. I'm saving up for the Double Wear.
I seriously LALALALOVEEEE YOU and your videos. so informative and close ups are amazing. I have super super SUPER oily skin but your videos are fantastic for everyone. keep doing a great job girl!
Maybe mixing both the Too Faced Born this Way and LOreal Infallible Pro-Matte will work wonders for our type of skin. Which is practically the same! You're a gorgeous girl btw! Stay Beautiful🌺
Vanessa Avina I will have to try it one day soon I'm sure lol. We have the same problem. I was actually wanting to try the microdermabrasion or chemical peel. Have you done either?
Great review as always, I was going to buy this foundation but I think I’ll go with Estée Lauder Double Wear. What lipstick are you wearing Nikkia it’s lovely! xx
I find by using your technique by adding setting powder and setting spray first then foundation over top, i feel it lasts a little longer but I still need to touch up -- maybe it'll last longer in winter. It sucks because I adore this foundation in terms of colour match, I'm in Snow. If there was a petition by Too Faced to make this a matte foundation I would sign it.
Monica Gutierrez I do really like it at first and then again after about 3-4 hours of wear and then the rest of the day it looks pretty good. I'm not super oily but I do get slightly oily but I do also sweat a lot. It just tends to crease around my nose and lips for those first few hours until my oils start to seep through.
Nikkia Joy omg u replied!! Thank you!! I always look to you now for foundation and primers because I have oily skin ! Can't wait, hopefully it's Nikkia approved! 😉
Omg! You're the best! ❤️❤️ you've seriously helped me change my make up game! Thank you!!! Side note: i would LOVE to see a best make up setting spray for oily skin video. I've been on the hunt and haven't found one yet. 😘❤️😆
I have dry skin. I think this is good for me. I wore it to a Christmas party for about 8 hours and it lasted pretty good. But around the pores on my cheeks did enhance just a little. I would suggest primer.
I have super oily skin , ance, and acne scars and discoloration, and I LOVE this foundation it gives me the perfect amount of coverage and makes my skin look seamless, i love TOO FACED Products...they work with my skin so effortlessly
Suzie Garcia Same here boo, my skin is more combo leaning more towards oily but my acne and acne scars are major but this foundation just keeps my skin fresh and dewy without the oiliness, I guess some people are just not loving this foundation 😢
Suzie have you used the two face born this way Foundation?
I just bought the foundation!! How many hours does it last on you? Could you wear it throughout the night without looking a hot mess
What primer do u use xx
Atomic Blonde , me either super oily , and oil goes through foundation in an hour , it gets super greasy and starting to slide away ( being cakey)! Can you recommend this foundation to this terrible skin as mine !?

Have you done oily grail makeup products for oily skin? Like the products you can't live without.

Mix this with Estee Lauder Double Wear! I get all of the benefits of Double Wear with a more skin-like /natural finish. It's beautiful!
Darci Hoepner that’s something to try
Did you use a primer?
Please try NYX Angel Veil primer. It's supposed to be a dupe for the Hourglass primer. Love to see half and half to compare how the 2 wear throughout the day.
Am seen you saying this a few times aha
Am did you find a review yet? I was testing this foundation today again and i thought - i have that primer. I tried it with the primer. It looks awful with EVERY primer so far including this one.

Lesieva Born This Way looked awful on me too. I returned it.
Am i wish i could. I got it online. Its not worth shipping it back. I'm going to try and sell it, its practically new.
Lesieva You can still return it! I've returned and exchanged many online orders at the store. I didn't have a receipt twice but showed them the packing slip and email confirmation and they still took it back. Also, if you order on Sephora or Ulta website, your previous order history should work too.
Cruelty free flawless affordable foundation for oily skin would be nice to see!
Elizabeth Grace kat von d's a good choice
Elizabeth Grace try the infallible pro-matte! :)
Marianna Denisse L'oreal isn't cruelty free...
Elizabeth Grace Milani's 2 in 1 foundation is affordable and cruelty free :)
damn it Nikkia I just got the double wear, I'm not buying anymore foundations this year lol good thing there is only 3 days left
+KC Holo the double wear is my favourite!! You will love it😍😍
Kelly Beautiful does it make you look dry ? Or caking ?
Makes me greasy after 2-3 hours but it's beautiful at first
I'm oily.. if I wear it with illamasqua matte veil primer I stay oil free for upto 12 hours but if I use it with any other primer I get oily after a few hours.. love this foundation with the matte veil primer
+Sonia Kaur I will have to try it lovely. Thank you for your suggestion 😘
Sonia Kaur where can i get that primer?

I wore this foundation for a whole 12 hours last night. It's damn good & stayed on so beautifully the whole time
that foundation separates and looks oily on my skin in 3 hours I can't wear it...
Laura Gonzalez agreed! I have tried it a few times and it does not last at all, my skin looks a mess within a few hours :(
Laura Gonzalez same happens to me!! It's horrible
I have the same problem! Bums me out! I actually love the way this foundation feels but just doesnt last long enough. Ive had better luck with MAC, I just hate the smell of it.
Kaci Barnett I know it looks good when you first put it on but in a couple of hours it starts to separate on the forehead and around the nose inner cheek area so kinda sucks..I think it will be perfect for dry skin..

I have dehydrated to dry skin and this foundation works so well with my skin.
I have this one in Mocha it's really great but you have to get a good setting powder and spray so you won't be oily after 8 hours
cant get over how amazing your skin looks!

+Laura Rejon thanks so much Laura! I definitely always lean towards the same colors😂
Hello Nikkia maybe you could try the new matte version. I love the finish of this foundation and how natural it looks but it's a bit oily indeed. Thanks! ❤
I havent read the comments so someone could of said it already but this foundation has coconut water or oil not sure which, so it doesn't go well with oily skin. I used it for 2 or 3 months straight, kept using oil sheets to keep a matte looking face throughout the day or powder but it would continue getting oily. someone at ulta mentioned it one day when i decided to change my primer bc i thought that was the issue but turns out the foundation was so yeah, like you see in Nikkia's video the coverage was great but it was not for oily skin at all in my opinion.
Could you show us how you would apply powder throughout the day? Every time I try to add powder to matte down my face I get cakey and it looks horrible 😭
Pls help xx
plz make a video on the best luxury foundations for oily skin 😙
YES!!

Nikkia Joy luxury products
Omg I've been iffy about purchasing this foundation! Thanks so much for your honest reviews now I'm going to purchase this to use at work or at school! Love you Nikkia 💕
can you review the new wet n wild photo focus foundation and also the new nyx total control drop foundation? thanks and i love your videos!
Like you said this is not something that holds your oils very long, HOWEVER this is definitely one of the few foundations that do not separate on my nose/cheek area which happens to me with usually every foundations. That's why I really like this one, I just need to make sure to blot through out the day
I'm so blessed to have found this channel seriously my nose and T zone are THAT oily I have had trouble buying foundations. All my friends rave about Born This Way but honestly by the end of the day I'm cringing because my nose is so greasy and oily! Wish I saw this video before I forked out all the cash to buy it :(
So glad there is foundation out there for people with dry skinskiing mine is normal to dry and I think this will work great with my skin
I'm a recent subscriber and so far you are my favorite when it comes to reviewing foundations. I have combination skin and my NOSE is my main struggle! Your video on that area has been helpful ❤
+Nicollitte Reyes welcome to the family lovely! I'm so happy I've been able to help xxx
this may sound weird but besides loving your content, i love listening to you because you remind me of the days i used to watch Saddle Club lol
I've been waiting for this video for so long thank you so much for filming it!!
+Essence of Elunè you're so welcome lovely 😘
I also have super oily skin, and when I first tried this foundation on it was amazing. Then a few hours past (3hrs) and I was an oily mess! I do love everything about this foundation and also wish they could come out with a matte version! Thanx for your reviews they are so informative!!
+castillo916 you're so welcome lovely. That's pretty much the experience I had. It does touch up very well with a light powder so you could get longer out of it if you wanted 😘
Looking forward to your new lashes!! Yeaaaaaaaay
Hi Nikkia! Thank you SO MUCH for doing a review on this foundation. I was on the fence about trying this one. I wanted to hear and see an oily girl try this out. I'm glad I haven't bought it.
Your so welcome lovely. I'm so happy I could help you out with your decision 😘
Ehh, I just didn't know what to think of this foundation, so I returned it. It does create a nice flawless finish but for my oily skin, it was too Dewey. It also felt "wet" like it didn't stay in place well. Overall, yes it is a good foundation but not the best for oily skin. I also read reviews that if broke ppl out and as someone with acne prone skin, that made me nervous. I hope they will release a specifically mattifying one because the other effects of this foundation are awesome!
I'm not sure if you have access to this in Australia but I would love to see your review on the matte Sonia Kashuk foundation!
Please Nikkia, you need to do a review on the new L'Oréal total cover foundation please!!!! 💙🙏🏼 I trust in you so muchhhhhhh
Exactly the same issue with me. My T zone is oily and with in couple of hours, my nose was bathing in grease. It is not mate, which i like. So i use EL double wear on my nose and rest of the face I do with BTW, and it works.
Love the shade of your lipstick, what shade is it and what brand please
I love the foundation for my oily skin, but I also put a powder foundation over it so it takes a long time for the oil to get through the powder. It does really show dry pieces of skin if I have any.
Have tried rainforest of the sea foundation by tarte if not please review it❤️
Hi Nikkia I love your channel very much, thank you for always helping us oily skinned ladies and ghents out! I was wondering if you could make a video on your favorite brushes to apply foundation and concealer? Thank you!
Love all your videos Nikkia! Could you do a review for tarte's foundations? The Amazonian clay 12-hour foundation and/or Rainforest of the Sea water foundation? Thank you so much for all your tips ands tricks!!
I'd love to see you test the new L'Oréal total coverage foundation! I trust you're reviews for my oily and very large pores skin!
+Diosa Colindres I'm trying to get my hands on it lovely! It's not sold here in Aus😭
I have very oily skin and I wear this foundation with the hangover rx primer and Laura mercier setting powder and I love it. It lasts me all day. But I definitely LOVE my Lancôme 24 HR wear foundation. That keeps me matte all day long. Definitely my favorite foundation for oily skin.
+Bree oh wow!! I feel I need to try the Lancôme one!!😱
I absolutely love this foundation, I have really oily skin and this works really well for me.
i think i am gonna trust your choice for ever!thank you for this testing thing a lot!save my money and buy all the product only good for oily skin as me.thank you !
I'm combination oily on my tzone but this is holy grial for me ! Love the finish and I blot and wear it beautifully ! ❤❤❤❤ I bought it for my kit in 5 shades. This one and my Estée Lauder are part of my kit and love them lots !
+Jordana Vargas that's amazing. I wish i had the same experience with it. Unfortunately makeup doesn't always work the same for everyone even with the same skin types. I love ELDW 😍
Nikkia Joy don't get me wrong I agree with you I wish they would come out with a matte version cuz I get oily on my nose like you... but it's easy to powder and it looks like new ❤❤ love your oily skin type series ! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 best I've seen in RUclips so far
Awesome Nikkia!!! You've done it again, thank you soooo much for the review!!! 🎉❤️👍🏼💜💋💕💙
+Michelle Gruba you're so welcome lovely. I'm glad you found it useful 😘
I too hope they release a matte version. I'm currently am on Retin A, minocycline, and clindamycin (all acne meds) and holy cow after 3-4 hours it was a hot mess. I'm so disappointed because I don't have a receipt or the box anymore. I'd love to see a mattifying foundation from too faced, my skin needs it lol
+Laura Chavez I would love to see it too lovely. It would be amazing 😍
Would love to see a review for oily skin for the makenup forever HD foundation liquid and stick 👍🏼
I have combination skin and i was afraid to use this foundation, but it looks gorgeous 😍 it doesn't make me oily for at least 7 hrs If i set it. I love it i really really recommend it!
I think it would be great if you can do a video about what would be the best skin care routine for oily skin?! I struggle the most trying to find good skin care products to help for oily skin and keeping my skin healthy
I knew you wouldn't like foundation, I've had this one and found by the end of the day I was a hot mess! Thank the Lord for Estée Lauder DW!!!
You should try out the born this way foundation in the Matte variant !
I bought the BTW foundation and I have the same problem, though not to the same extent. Our weather here in New Orleans is so crazy though, its hard to get a foundation that looks great all year long. I'm saving up for the Double Wear.
I have combo skin and i love this foundation, i set it with laura mercier loose powder!
I seriously LALALALOVEEEE YOU and your videos. so informative and close ups are amazing. I have super super SUPER oily skin but your videos are fantastic for everyone. keep doing a great job girl!
Thank you so much for these honest foundation reviews! Really helps me when looking for oily skin friendly products.
+Jennifer Benner you are most welcome lovely 😘
Always love your videos, it did look oily throughout the day but still looks flawless after extra powder, might give this a try xxx ❤️
+Naasira amin it did didn't it! I was really impressed with how well it touched up😍
Maybe mixing both the Too Faced Born this Way and LOreal Infallible Pro-Matte will work wonders for our type of skin. Which is practically the same!
You're a gorgeous girl btw! Stay Beautiful🌺
Jessica Murillo It does work, well at least for me & I have oily skin as well especially on my t zone
+Jessica Murillo aww thank you you're too sweet. It might be worth a try. If this foundation could last longer in my oily skin it would be amazing 😍😍
Vanessa Avina
I will have to try it one day soon I'm sure lol. We have the same problem. I was actually wanting to try the microdermabrasion or chemical peel. Have you done either?
Great review as always, I was going to buy this foundation but I think I’ll go with Estée Lauder Double Wear. What lipstick are you wearing Nikkia it’s lovely! xx
Thanks for the review nikkia! I was very curious about this foundation
I find by using your technique by adding setting powder and setting spray first then foundation over top, i feel it lasts a little longer but I still need to touch up -- maybe it'll last longer in winter. It sucks because I adore this foundation in terms of colour match, I'm in Snow. If there was a petition by Too Faced to make this a matte foundation I would sign it.
Liquid foundation does not work on my skin. Have you tried a power foundation and do a review on it?
Would you try the Maybelline MATTE and PORELESS foundation? Ive heard great things!
Monica Gutierrez I do really like it at first and then again after about 3-4 hours of wear and then the rest of the day it looks pretty good. I'm not super oily but I do get slightly oily but I do also sweat a lot. It just tends to crease around my nose and lips for those first few hours until my oils start to seep through.
Nikkia please try the new Urban Decay Complexion Primers!! (Preferably the matte and the smoothing ones)
+dragonheart I can do that lovely 😘
Nikkia Joy omg u replied!! Thank you!! I always look to you now for foundation and primers because I have oily skin ! Can't wait, hopefully it's Nikkia approved! 😉
did you try setting the foundation? loved the review !
Thank you for making this video. I truly do appreciate your input!
would you try reviewing the total cover foundation by loreal? (:
Omg! You're the best! ❤️❤️ you've seriously helped me change my make up game! Thank you!!!
Side note: i would LOVE to see a best make up setting spray for oily skin video. I've been on the hunt and haven't found one yet. 😘❤️😆
+Xaimarie Vazquez I'm so happy I have helped you lovely 😝😝😝. I can definitely do a top setting sprays video 😊
Mix it with covergirl outlast 3in1 foundation = the finish is beautiful and a lot less oily. 💜
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEO. I AM BUYING THIS TODAY!
+Linda mel you're so welcome lovely. I would love to hear your thoughts on it 😊
Nikkia Joy I bought it a few hours ago still haven't had a chance to test it! will do soon
Please do a review on the Fiona stiles matte foundation 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
+Paige Swager I can certainly look at doing that lovely 😘
I have dry skin. I think this is good for me. I wore it to a Christmas party for about 8 hours and it lasted pretty good. But around the pores on my cheeks did enhance just a little. I would suggest primer.
