ILIA - True Skin Serum Foundation (Tavarua SF2, 1 fl oz | 30 ml)

Smooth, and natural serum foundation ✨️ 🤎 covers imperfections for all skin types, especially mature. I Highly recommend this foundation.

Coverage: Unlike other hydrating foundations, this one dries down to a satin finish fairly quickly (I’d say 5-10 minutes). I actually loved that finish more than I thought I would because I’m a dewy girl typically. I got light coverage by dabbing the foundation on face and blending out. I got medium coverage when I dipped my kabuki into foundation and applied to my face. I haven’t tried building layers since I’m not a layer girl and light/medium coverage is my preference. Wear: I didn’t notice any creasing, but I did use their serum primer which should help with that. Honestly with light/med coverage, I find it difficult to see when makeup starts wearing off. I will say that I can normally see my nose pores after a full day of work, but they were still covered with this Ilia foundation, so that’s a good sign. Since I have dry skin, I don’t set my makeup with powder so my wear time is reduced. Side note, I’ve heard good things about the Ilia powder so I’m going to give it a shot. Fingers crossed that it’s another win. Hydration: More than anything else, I love how this foundation does not dry out my skin. It’s been years since I’ve used a foundation that didn’t leave me with dry spots on my nose and around my mouth within 2-3 hours. With Ilia, I have no issues with flakes. It’s an absolute game changer for me! One time, I actually forgot to apply moisturizer to my nose because I was rushing. Even then, I had just a few, tiny dry skin flakes on my nose AND it’s the middle of a winter. I was so impressed! Color: I recommend looking at the Ilia site for guidance on which foundation color is for you. I’ve heard some complaints that the color is dull, and before the Ilia foundation dried down , I was a little worried about that too. However, once it’s dry, it looks so naturally beautiful, like a healthier version of your own skin. For those that like more glow, I’ve seen some use Ilia highlighter serum under the foundation. I might try that in the future. Bottom line: I absolutely adore this foundation. It looks so good that I’m actually wearing foundation to work again. I haven’t done that in years because of the flakiness of my previous foundations. It may be on the pricey side, but it is worth it to me. I will definitely repurchase when I run out.

i have oily, acne prone skin, acne red and dark scars , and i really love this foundation as a natural look it's so perfect medium coverage and gives you fresh and healthy look without making your skin oily and you can blend it with any thing it's so easy to blend and gives you smooth texture, the only thing that i don't like it is that my skin absorb it quickly so the coverage is for several hours then it's gone 💔,i think that i might buy it again coz it's good for every day look and the price is actually expensive. بشرتي دهنية ومعرضة للحبوب وعندي اثار حبوب حمراء وغامقه ، اعجبني هذا الفاونديشن جداً!! التغطيه متوسطه وملمسه ممتاز عالبشره يخليه (قطعه وحده) و مايدهن البشره ودمجه اسهل شي بالعالم حتى باليد اقدر ادمجه ممتاز جداً للدوام والميكب اليومي بالنسبه لي افضل فاونديشن لكن مشكلته الوحيده انه مايعتبر ثابت تماماً يعني اذا حطيته الصبح الساعه ١٠ الساعه ٥ الليل يصير اخفتى لكن مناسب لي،طبعاً المنتج نظيف خالي من الواد المضره للبشره والجوده ممتازه جداً لكن لو يكون ارخص من كذا بيكون افضل

I like the way it matches my skin color.

It makes me look orange. Could be the shade I ordered but I thought I ordered a color to prevent that.

I am 67 with combination skin that is mostly dry but with a little oil in the t-zone. Until Ilia, I had never tried a clean beauty foundation that I thought was as effective as my regular brands. Now, I have 3 Ilia serum foundations - this more traditional medium coverage no spf version as well as 2 light coverage ones with spf and I absolutely love all three of them. I use this medium coverage foundation whenever I want a more polished, flawless look. It gives a natural, skin-like luminous finish and looks fresh all day. Since I switched to Ilia foundations my generally good skin (for my age) has improved noticeably. The skincare ingredients that are infused into the foundations are the real deal and simplify one’s life. I could absolutely have used this True Skin one when I was younger and had oilier skin, the serum-style foundations tend to be oilier and I’m not sure about them. I will say that using the Ilia serum foundations has improved my slight rosacea and eliminated all of my dry spots; my forehead was always dry no matter what I did and that problem is gone. Bottom line: If you are looking for a clean foundation with excellent performance and medium but very natural luminous coverage, I highly recommend this product.

This foundation feels like second skin. Weightless, texture is thin, but i am ok with that. I am pushing 70 and do not like to look, like i am trying too hard

Really hate the color and the way it looks on my skin. I wanted to send it back but husband was in hospice and passed away during my return window. Total waste of money.

Es un buen producto, la usa mi esposa y comentan que es una tinta que permite trabajarse muy bien, sólo que si eres de piel grasa o mixta no la recomienda, porque es óleosa, fuera de ello es buen producto.

Love it

Eine schöne leichte Foundation, die sehr natürlich aussieht und auch lange hält. Absolut empfehlenswert! Deshalb 5 Sterne von mir :-)

The colour doesn’t match, even though the labels are the same as the one I have already.

Good quality. It gives good coverage, but not full coverage. If you have a skin problem, you might need to look for a different product.
