So glad you reviewed this because I am oily and was eyeing this foundation. Also thanks so much for giving honest reviews. It can be hard to find those at times and I trust your opinion.
Nikkia Joy Nikkia Joy did you try the old MJ foundation? the gel type? I think that one more suitable for oily skin like us. I'm wearing it under hot sun in Malaysia n its work! but for sure need bloating paper after 4-5hours. but I like the gel type more than this one. (sorry for my poor English)
Is there a foundation out there with the finish of Too Faced Born This Way and staying power of Estee Lauder Double Wear ? That would be the winner for me!
Miss D Ugh yes I hated how fast the too faced wore off my face. I feel like a good option would be the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation it has good staying power and from what I remember has a similar finish (and also a tiny bit more coverage)
Miss D -why don't you mix them? Often the longwear ingredients in the more full coverage longwearing one will mix with the other foundation I've mixed L'Oréal infallible pro matte with moisturizer and it was an amazing combo. Kinda the same idea
For me it works well. With this foundation I put 1 dot on the forehead, cheeks and for the chin whatever is left on the brush. I can't use a ton of skincare before applying just my moisturizer and primer and my setting spray. Avery little goes a long way. Take it from bacon face.
Another very helpful video, as always! Please keep doing these reviews, they're so good to watch, and it's nice to have somebody out there not using lots of dewy products.
Nikkia as a fellow oily skin girl I love seeing your reviews. I'd love to see you do a top 5 favourite foundations of all time so that we can get to know what you wear on a regular basis!
I've got this foundation, and you're literally only supposed to put 4 to 6 dots on ur entire face, if you put too much it gets cakey real quick. I hope you give it another try :)
you have to shake this foundation before you use!! i had the same issue but i looked it up and it's because you have to shake it!! i promise you it is amazing i hated it at first but now i'm OBSESSED
I have oily skin too and I had the exact same experience! I have been using it like the cover fx custom cover drops, it's great for adding it to lower coverage foundations for extra coverage! it wears so much better mixed in not used alone :) hope this helps anyone who finds it too cakey alone! :) xx
I tried this and I have oily skin also, I primed and also used 1 dot on my cheek and it worked super well for me!! Hopefully next time you try it, it works better, because I love this foundation!! xx
I absolutely agree with you that this foundation is not for oily skin. I have tried a few times from samples using different primers and found the foundation fades out around the noise and mouth a few hours after application.
Nikkia! I am also oily and my ultimate fav foundation combo is the Urban Decay all nighter and the Smashbox Studio Skin foundation. It gives me a natural but matte look. Give it a try 😊😌
Try checking out how Lustrelux applies her makeup when using Marc Jacobs. She doused her face in Mac fix plus once she applied the makeup. It melted the foundation into her skin and looked amazing. DD
Thank you for trying this one. I am in between shades and was think of buying two shades in this. What a waste that would have been since it doesn't hold up on oily skin. You just saved me a bunch of money and frustration. Have a blessed day!
PLOT TWIST OF THE CENTURY. But this is why I appreciate your reviews- so many beauty gurus just put it on and call it a day but the wear throughout the day is the most important thing for us with oily skin!
Have you tried the Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation? If not could you do s review on it please? I love your reviews. They are my absolute favorite!!! Love you
Patty osgood I have extremely oily skin and immaculate liquid powder foundation is a life saver! It's not full coverage and definitely stipple it in with a flat top kabuki brush in sections as it dries down quickly (it'll cling to dry patches if you buff it in). But it stays put all day and keeps my oily skin at bay! If you want to spot conceal or conceal under the eyes then I suggest you do it first :) it does oxidise a bit on me so be careful of that.
Thanks Nikkia! I was on the fence about buying this foundation and giving it a go for my oily skin, you just sealed the deal for me. I appreciate all your videos, they are so informative and helpful. Keep on rocking on girl!! Love you 💜👍🏼💋
Thank you Michelle!! I'm glad the review helped!! I was so disappointed that it didn't work out on my skin because it looked sooooooo beautiful when I first applied it!
I would say try this again but use only about 5 dots on your entire face! I have massively oily skin, and I love this foundation. I made the mistake of wearing too much, and that happened to me too. It was awful! Since it's so concentrated, less is definitely better! ❤️
Thanks for reviewing all these foundations. Saves me so much money!!! I have similarly oily skin. I'm planning on taking your advice and trying the Mac foundation.
I have oily skin and absolutely hated this foundation! Coverage was great but it broke down and separated/wiped off my skin in under 2 hours.... My $4 rimmel stay matte gives me the same coverage but actually lasts on my skin :)
The foundation went super cakey because you used too much! You only need about 4 dots for your entire face. Then use a tiny bit to cover spots that need more coverage
Yes I agree way too much was used as only meant 3-4 drops for the whole face I used mine and it lasted all day even whilst I used a sunbed and it still looked flawless
The first time i tried this i really didnt like it because i used waay to much of it. It looked horrible. But then i used a small amount and a beautyblender and it looks stunning. One of my faves! Lasts all day without any touchups
Oh Nikkia, I'm so relieved it's not just me who had a bad experience with ReMARCable! I'm an oily girl too. Everything was fine at first....then several hours in it all went to hell!! It broke up, transferred and just looked AWFUL! So disappointing because I'd heard such rave reviews! 😕 Thanks for another fabulous video though! 🤗 💓
This foundation I returned it cuz the coverage is good but it didn't matter how much or how little I would apply it caked up like no other foundation. Not even the kat von d caked up like that.
I'm oily combo and i have great success with this foundation but i prob use a 1/4 of the product you did lol. I suggest trying again with much less product. If i set with the ambient lighting powder it is perfect on me for ages 😊 I like this much more than the UD one i found that really short lived
I will definitely be trying it with less product. It was so flawless for the first 6 hours. If that could last longer it would be amazing. Thank you so much for your comment 😘
+Nikkia Joy hey Hun I had the same issue but you did apply way too much. I did the same thing so I'd suggest only putting the 4 dots on your face. Blend. Let it set then add more. Makes a big difference for me. Try it and give us an update;)
Laura C i currently use the smashbox studio skin foundation, and i personally like it...although i have to use two pumps to cover my face, it keeps the oil control well. im curious to see what nikkiajoy thinks about it
I really wanted to get this foundation, but wooooooweeeeeeee I'm glad I got your review first, I'll pass on it and stick to my urban decay all nighter!!!!
I'm super oily, and I live in Georgia in the states, which usually has 90-100% humidity. I wear this foundation everyday. I use the Becca primer sometimes with this, but most days I use the Hangover Rx and the Makeup Forever step 1 smoothing primer. I also powder my entire face with the Laura Mercier. I wore this from 10:00 yesterday morning to 11:00 last night. It only broke down around 10 hours in, and that's because I was cooking over a hot stove. After that, I looked like a grease truck, but it would look like that without makeup. Maybe you should try it again. It's my holy grail.
Can you make a video of your morning and night skin routine, please!! I want to know what products are good for oily skin, hopefully I am not the only one.
I, too, was hoping this was gonna be a hit, especially for hype and the price. I'm oily AF and the end result was the same for me unfortunately. I love u, besss Fran.
Dear Nikkia, I have absolutely the same experience with this product. After 5 hours starts to look terrible on me. Thank you so much for this video :-)
I have to say, this remarkable foundation is the best, especially for oily skin. In Aus is $80, which is a lot but for my opinion is worth it. Marc Jacobs states should only use 2 dots on checks, 1 dot on forehead, 1 dot on nose. I can see why that tip is useful, because when i used a lot (like the girl in the video) my forehead looks like the map of safari dessert, so you should always moisturise first and use the tip!
Try NARS all day louminius weightless foundation.Its wreally works for a oily skin and one drop is enough for a full face,is amazing!!!This is the only one foundation in all this make up world what works for me.
My Holy grail for very oily skin. I found it a steep learning curve for several weeks. less is definitely more. Any large swipe of the applicator guaranteed it will slide off. I find it dries quickly so I apply a dot and blend, then continue. if I need more coverage, I use only a dot again to that spot. Too much product completely came off and I became a oil slick. I use a scant amount of MUF smoothing primer to my checks but I find any primer on my nose makes it slide off. Hopefully you can play a bit more and get it to work.
What is the color and brand of eye shadow that you have on? Can you do a tutorial of how you applied your eyeshadow? Love your videos so much! Thank you
Thank you for honest review I tried a sample I went to Sephora to buy the Este laurel double wear and they didn't have it in the store. so they recommended this one. I hadn't watched this video darn it I might have to return it.
I just wanna throw out there that it took me FOREVER to figure out how to wear this and not cake on some of my girls,and i tried different primers and setting sprays you name it! BUT dont be disappointed yet! Bare Minerals original"foundation powder" (i use as powder) is a life saver for the cakeyness i swear by this along with many that iv tried this on and told...After you apply this,even though it dries super fast,wait ab 15min or as long u can,then take a regular powder brush,dip into a small amount of BM,tap off excess,and in a circular motion sweeping upward apply a light amount and it's perfection! Oily,Dry,Combo your good to go as long as your using a primer opposite of your skin obviously,but another hint-if u are oily,Putting a lil coconut oil mixed with your matte primer,helps SO much with this foundation anyway...hope this helps bc i know i wish i woulda known this month's ago! ❤😘
Hi Nikkia! Thank you for doing a review on this product. I've been hearing mixed reviews. I'm so glad that I didn't buy it! Such a shame that it didn't work as well.
Nikkia Joy hi!! Could you give it ONE more time? Just don't add so much....This happened to me too but because I used A LOT so the next time I tried it I didn't add a lot and it actually held up pretty nice....I have really oily skin too and I live in Texas. Thank you! PS I enjoy all of your for "oily skin" videos because I have a greased up T zone too!
I would try this again with a primer that is suited for your skin type. I have normal/dry I use the too faced hangover primer or the Marc jacobs coconut one but if your oily use a mattifying one. Because this is a really long lasting foundation. Worn it for a 10 hour shift and then after for drinks so it can work it just needs support like any foundation to last on your skin for that long.
*doesn't use any primer* *puts on too much foundation than the product recommends* *doesn't use setting spray* *goes out all night* "this foundation is horrible it's melting off!!" ...lol what did you expect
You know, I think if one can afford to have a relatively larger collection of foundations this could have a place in it. Like you, I have very oily skin and larger pores AND I am also older than you, and I had the same experience as you did - AMAZING finish (as long as I applied it VERY thinly and buffed it more than any other foundation I ever use), but after 4 hours (to me it was merely 4 hours, disintegration and after 6 hours disaster. Yet I kept the foundation, because if I am just going to the theater and want a fuller yet relatively natural-looking, perfect coverage and I know I will not exceed the 4 hours mark, this foundation cannot be beat!
nikkia i got a sample of that foundation from sephora i had same problem it's such a shame it was horrible my skin is oily to. his primer i love that one but i think us oily girls i don't think we have to many choices im just glad mine was a sample and i did't waste my money
I was very disappointed too, thankfully I got a sample from my local Sephora. You should try Clinique Matte foundation (works amazing in my extremely oily skin and Tarte Rainforest water foundation is awesome as well) love your videos! XO from Canada!
A lot of ppl don't like this foundation and for the price especially in Australia! I'll pass. I would love to know your thoughts or even a review on the too faced born this way foundation 😊 love your channel also by the way xx
It felt like such a thin layer though? Like initially it looked so beautiful? I would think it if was too much it was have been noticeable at the start?? I can defiantly try it with less though :)
I saw a video of the Marc Jacobs global artist using it and he used only one dot for each side of the model's face and it looked amazing! Haven't tried doing it that way myself yet, but I'm curious to see how that would work out!
Can i recommend u use a different self tanner? St Tropez..its.a mousse I use the mitten and a rubber glove underneath..then to avoid the orange nuckles use a blending brush use minimal product and blend in lightly..no orange mess on hands
I was looking into this foundation for drag. I also have oily skin. I initially was bummed by this video since it didn't work for you in the super long term, but at your 4-hour mark, you were pleased with how it was looking. I don't wear drag makeup for longer than 4 hours at a time (for the most part), so maybe I will give it a go? Anyone else with normal-oily skin have experience with this foundation? Or any queens that have used it?
Nikkia, loving these foundation reviews. I swear I get foundations on your recommendation alone. Saving up for the Double Wear, is the Nars Sheerglow still one of your favs?
Gotcha. I'm not super oily everywhere, but my t-zone is ridiculous and my pores are freaking huge. I use the Born This Way right now, but you know how it is, 'the foundation journey,' LOL.
theoldernewbie I have Nars sheer glow and estee lauder double wear but Revlon colorstay is better : better coverage and keeps me shine free all day long! I also tried a sample of the Marc Jacob but didn't like it because I got shiny and it melted off my face in certain area (T zone)
Missquichante Thank you so much for the tip. I'm on a super budget (two kids, real world, you know what I mean), and am always looking for a great drugstore foundation. Thanks again.
What a coincidence!! I just received my Marc Jacobs foundation which I bought during sephora's VIB sale! I am curious about your review but I comment first lol.
wow, I was dying for you to try it. I used it and loooved the coverage, but I agree by the end of the day I was greasy mess. I was so sure you would love it!. I went back to Estee Lauder double wear..but I do feel that you may have applied too much. a little goes a long way with this product.
i've seen some comments saying it got cakey because you used to much & are supposed to use only 3-5 drops for the whole face.. i would absolutely love if you tried it this way & do a 2nd try demo/review
i have subscribed more than 60 acc of make geeks but u are the only one who gives best review.. plz give review about your no 1 foundation. which foundation you prefer to wear? I'm super oily and have scars
I hate that it didn't work for you!! I have tried so many foundations and this is absolutely my holy grail. I've not found one that works better than this on me.
It's so interesting how things work so differently on different people isn't it! Im going to try it with some different primers and also mix it with some of my other foundations!
Hi Nikkia, thanks for doing these reviews. I just went to Sephora and they recommended Becca foundation for my oily skin can you review this foundation?! They said it was full coverage.
Nikkia can you please tell me what you think of the Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation. The price has just dropped to $32 and I want to buy it but I'm not sure how well it will hold up to my oily skin.
Thanks for this review i was planning to switch my foundation from estee lauder to find best for oily just for experiment and now thinking should i stay in EL as im using it for 5 yrs
If a foundation lasts 7 hours I'm happy. I don't typically expect it to last 12 hours
Melissa H Same
So glad you reviewed this because I am oily and was eyeing this foundation. Also thanks so much for giving honest reviews. It can be hard to find those at times and I trust your opinion.
I'm so sad haha! It looked so amazing for the first 5-6 hours :(
Nikkia Joy Nikkia Joy did you try the old MJ foundation? the gel type? I think that one more suitable for oily skin like us. I'm wearing it under hot sun in Malaysia n its work! but for sure need bloating paper after 4-5hours. but I like the gel type more than this one.
(sorry for my poor English)
I would ask for a sample!! I have been using it for two already.I have oily skin and it works amazing!
it was a fail for her because she used too much
She put way too much on, no primer, and no setting spray. I'm not surprised it was melting off
I like the honesty of this RUclipsr. She shows us how it really looks on her skin and zooms in nice and close. New subscriber now!!
Is there a foundation out there with the finish of Too Faced Born This Way and staying power of Estee Lauder Double Wear ? That would be the winner for me!
Miss D I second this opinion! would be a total winner
mix the two and you'll have that! haha but yes i agree with you
said totally word of my heart... ;)
Miss D Ugh yes I hated how fast the too faced wore off my face. I feel like a good option would be the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation it has good staying power and from what I remember has a similar finish (and also a tiny bit more coverage)
Miss D -why don't you mix them? Often the longwear ingredients in the more full coverage longwearing one will mix with the other foundation
I've mixed L'Oréal infallible pro matte with moisturizer and it was an amazing combo. Kinda the same idea
For me it works well. With this foundation I put 1 dot on the forehead, cheeks and for the chin whatever is left on the brush. I can't use a ton of skincare before applying just my moisturizer and primer and my setting spray. Avery little goes a long way. Take it from bacon face.
velma smith what skin type do you have??
I have oily skin, please forgive me for not responding sooner.
velma smith I have very oily skin too and I'm curious what moisturizer and primer you use?
Another very helpful video, as always! Please keep doing these reviews, they're so good to watch, and it's nice to have somebody out there not using lots of dewy products.

Crystal Walker what have you mixed it with that was successful?
Melissa Clagg I use reckon color stay and a few drops of the Marc jacobs foundation and it's so beautiful!!!
Revlon*
OK thanks for the tip!
I tried this and I have oily skin also, I primed and also used 1 dot on my cheek and it worked super well for me!! Hopefully next time you try it, it works better, because I love this foundation!! xx

OMG yesssssss!!!!!! I'll go and buy it!!!!
Thank you for helping us oily girls save our coins. So sad this didn't work out, but, glad to be aware.
TheEagleslover she put way too much on, no primer, and no setting spray. This won't happen to most people
Thank you for trying this one. I am in between shades and was think of buying two shades in this. What a waste that would have been since it doesn't hold up on oily skin. You just saved me a bunch of money and frustration. Have a blessed day!
PLOT TWIST OF THE CENTURY. But this is why I appreciate your reviews- so many beauty gurus just put it on and call it a day but the wear throughout the day is the most important thing for us with oily skin!
I also have crazy oily skin and am amazed how beautifully clear your skin is. Any chance you could do a morning and evening skincare video?!?!
Have you tried the Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation? If not could you do s review on it please? I love your reviews. They are my absolute favorite!!! Love you

I think you put to much foundation.. it says use three dots only...
I will definitely try this with less product and let you know if I get a different result 😊

i agree... i use this foundation and it lasts me all day looking the same by the end of the day... but i use at the most 4 dots...
Thanks for reviewing all these foundations. Saves me so much money!!! I have similarly oily skin. I'm planning on taking your advice and trying the Mac foundation.
Omg!! I was so impressed on how it looked too Nikkia!! Thank you for making this review!!😘😘
It was flawless for the first 6 hours. I was in love ❤️
Nikkia Joy Me too!!
I have oily skin and absolutely hated this foundation! Coverage was great but it broke down and separated/wiped off my skin in under 2 hours.... My $4 rimmel stay matte gives me the same coverage but actually lasts on my skin :)
Jillian Pronovost i also love the rimmel one! I think I'm gonna pass on this one
The foundation went super cakey because you used too much! You only need about 4 dots for your entire face. Then use a tiny bit to cover spots that need more coverage
Quinto210 just wanted to point that out, too. Maybe she can try it again with less product
I will definitely try it again with less product and let you know if the results vary 😊
Yes I agree way too much was used as only meant 3-4 drops for the whole face I used mine and it lasted all day even whilst I used a sunbed and it still looked flawless
Nikkia Joy ...can you please update on trying it on again using less product as I do not see any updates on the comment section from you...
The first time i tried this i really didnt like it because i used waay to much of it. It looked horrible. But then i used a small amount and a beautyblender and it looks stunning. One of my faves! Lasts all day without any touchups

PS I enjoy all of your for "oily skin" videos because I have a greased up T zone too!
I sure will. I'll let you know if my results are different 😊
I would try this again with a primer that is suited for your skin type. I have normal/dry I use the too faced hangover primer or the Marc jacobs coconut one but if your oily use a mattifying one. Because this is a really long lasting foundation. Worn it for a 10 hour shift and then after for drinks so it can work it just needs support like any foundation to last on your skin for that long.
Would love to see you test out Smashbox Studio Skin 15 hour Hydration wear Foundation.It targeted to oily skin types.
Guess what :P I already filmed the first impression & review on it!! It will be up soon :) xxx
OMG!!!!! excited to see it...can't wait Nikkia xxx
Nikkia Joy been waiting on this one can't wait to hear your thoughts xx
*doesn't use any primer* *puts on too much foundation than the product recommends* *doesn't use setting spray* *goes out all night* "this foundation is horrible it's melting off!!" ...lol what did you expect
Carlos Del Angel You should have read the description box smart ass.
Carlos Del Angel she did use a primer?
Can you try and review Estee Lauder double wear maximum coverage foundation!?
Jese Jay She's done one recently, she said it's pretty much her number 1 choice for foundation.
You know, I think if one can afford to have a relatively larger collection of foundations this could have a place in it. Like you, I have very oily skin and larger pores AND I am also older than you, and I had the same experience as you did - AMAZING finish (as long as I applied it VERY thinly and buffed it more than any other foundation I ever use), but after 4 hours (to me it was merely 4 hours, disintegration and after 6 hours disaster. Yet I kept the foundation, because if I am just going to the theater and want a fuller yet relatively natural-looking, perfect coverage and I know I will not exceed the 4 hours mark, this foundation cannot be beat!
nikkia i got a sample of that foundation from sephora i had same problem it's such a shame it was horrible my skin is oily to. his primer i love that one but i think us oily girls i don't think we have to many choices im just glad mine was a sample and i did't waste my money
Can you please try the LA Girl Pro HD foundation? I believe its available via Beautybay. I love watching your videos!!!
I was very disappointed too, thankfully I got a sample from my local Sephora. You should try Clinique Matte foundation (works amazing in my extremely oily skin and Tarte Rainforest water foundation is awesome as well) love your videos! XO from Canada!
A lot of ppl don't like this foundation and for the price especially in Australia! I'll pass. I would love to know your thoughts or even a review on the too faced born this way foundation 😊 love your channel also by the way xx
Nikki could you do best moisturizers for oily skin please!!!
The foundation might have gone cakey because you might have used too much?
It felt like such a thin layer though? Like initially it looked so beautiful? I would think it if was too much it was have been noticeable at the start?? I can defiantly try it with less though :)
I saw a video of the Marc Jacobs global artist using it and he used only one dot for each side of the model's face and it looked amazing! Haven't tried doing it that way myself yet, but I'm curious to see how that would work out!
So it was still nice after 7 hours without powdering etc ? Sounds like it's a brilliant foundation for nights out etc
Hello! Can you please review the tarte Amazonian clay foundation(: and also the tarte rainforest of the sea foundation 😊 love your videos Nikkia!!
Have you tried the Becca foundation? It's super matte!!! Would be great for younger skin.. I however am a little bit older
Can i recommend u use a different self tanner? St Tropez..its.a mousse I use the mitten and a rubber glove underneath..then to avoid the orange nuckles use a blending brush use minimal product and blend in lightly..no orange mess on hands
I was looking into this foundation for drag. I also have oily skin. I initially was bummed by this video since it didn't work for you in the super long term, but at your 4-hour mark, you were pleased with how it was looking. I don't wear drag makeup for longer than 4 hours at a time (for the most part), so maybe I will give it a go?
Anyone else with normal-oily skin have experience with this foundation? Or any queens that have used it?
Nikkia, loving these foundation reviews. I swear I get foundations on your recommendation alone. Saving up for the Double Wear, is the Nars Sheerglow still one of your favs?
Yes I do still love Nars sheer glow :) I can't wear it for AS long as the Estee Lauder though xx
Gotcha. I'm not super oily everywhere, but my t-zone is ridiculous and my pores are freaking huge. I use the Born This Way right now, but you know how it is, 'the foundation journey,' LOL.
theoldernewbie I have Nars sheer glow and estee lauder double wear but Revlon colorstay is better : better coverage and keeps me shine free all day long! I also tried a sample of the Marc Jacob but didn't like it because I got shiny and it melted off my face in certain area (T zone)
Missquichante Thank you so much for the tip. I'm on a super budget (two kids, real world, you know what I mean), and am always looking for a great drugstore foundation. Thanks again.
What a coincidence!! I just received my Marc Jacobs foundation which I bought during sephora's VIB sale! I am curious about your review but I comment first lol.
you should give it one more chance! As long as you applied less product, you will get a flawless look throughout the day!
wow, I was dying for you to try it. I used it and loooved the coverage, but I agree by the end of the day I was greasy mess. I was so sure you would love it!. I went back to Estee Lauder double wear..but I do feel that you may have applied too much. a little goes a long way with this product.
I mixed this foundation with dw foundation & it works perfectly for me. You should try it!
yes, yes, YEEES!! i loooved this foundation when i tried it out, but $55 is a loot of money.. thanks for clearing if it's worth it!!
i've seen some comments saying it got cakey because you used to much & are supposed to use only 3-5 drops for the whole face.. i would absolutely love if you tried it this way & do a 2nd try demo/review
Please review the Dior Air flash and the Sephora air flash version.

i have subscribed more than 60 acc of make geeks but u are the only one who gives best review..
plz give review about your no 1 foundation. which foundation you prefer to wear? I'm super oily and have scars
Hi... which is much better for full coverage? The marc jacobs or the dior
I had the exact same experience! Wanted to love it too.
I hate that it didn't work for you!! I have tried so many foundations and this is absolutely my holy grail. I've not found one that works better than this on me.
It's so interesting how things work so differently on different people isn't it! Im going to try it with some different primers and also mix it with some of my other foundations!
Have you tried the double wear light? Would be so great to see a review or use it in a summer tutorial as its meant to be a light foundation :)
Hi Nikkia, thanks for doing these reviews. I just went to Sephora and they recommended Becca foundation for my oily skin can you review this foundation?! They said it was full coverage.
You're so gorgeous,keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you Maggie!! xx
Nikkia can you please tell me what you think of the Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation. The price has just dropped to $32 and I want to buy it but I'm not sure how well it will hold up to my oily skin.
