I may be a bit behind on sharing Becca Cosmetics Skin Love Weightless Blur Foundation, but better late than never, right? Some of you may have already picked this one up and given it a try so I’ll appreciate your feedback on it as well, because it’s always nice to hear from a few sources rather than just one, right?
If you haven’t tried the Skin Love Weightless Blur Foundation, you’ll want to know that this is considered a medium coverage, natural finish foundation. It comes in 24 shades in the warm, golden, neutral and cool categories.
I’m a fan of the packaging, with it being a flexible squeezy tube with a pump top making it a good travel choice since there’s no glass and it’s on the smaller size in my opinion. One full pump was more than enough for my face and I had to scale back slightly to get the right amount dispensed. So a little goes a long way. It’s also on the thicker side making it easy to apply with your hands much like a sunscreen so you can skip the brush (if you want). I like to go over it with a damp blender to thin out a bit for a light to medium coverage finish.
I played with this foundation on and off for over a month or two. During that time I was a big fan of using primers because they worked with my other foundations well and when you get into a routine, you tend to stick to it without realizing. No matter how many times I tried this foundation with primers it just didn’t seem to stay well for me. I tried poreless primers, moisturizing primers and even matte primers trying to see which would make this foundation a team player and it was a major fail.
But in the name of beauty blogging science, I pushed on. I scaled back on what products I put on my face before applying this primer and figured out the sweet combo that worked well for my 30+, on the drier side skin. I spritz my face with a moisturizing spritz like Pixi Beauty Rose Glow Mist or Colorescience Hydrating Mist, and follow with the Rose Caviar Essence, then apply the foundation. The trend I was FINALLY picking up on was that my skin needed to be hydrated but not covered in a cream moisturizer or any primers. They also recommend trying it over Skin Love Glow Elixir which had similar results for me.
With the correct combination of products on my face I was happy with the wear and feel of it throughout the day. Makeup goes on usually around 9-10 in the morning and gets washed off around 5 pm. And I always love using my favorite palette EVER with this foundation; the BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Face palette (please Becca Cosmetics, NEVER, EVER discontinue this, it’s perfection in a palette).
Would I say this foundation is a must? It might be for someone who like to teeter between lightweight coverage aided by a damp beauty blender, or needs fuller coverage on those days where you want a little more help. I know I’ll be keeping three shades in my foundation rotation drawer because it suits my skin well.
Have you tried the Skin Love Weightless Blur Foundation? What are your thoughts?
I’ve been wanting to try this foundation out– your review was super helpful! I’ll have to try it out without a heavy moisturizer.
Very informative review. Though it looks like a decent color range, it doesn’t sound like this foundation would work for me. Wearing moisturizer with sunscreen and a hydrating primer under foundation is a must for me.
I’m intrigued by these and see a few colors that I could wear. I will have to check them out in person. Thanks for the review and swatches!
Not sure this would have enough coverage for me but it sounds lovely.
