I’m so sad: this is a really lovely product in terms of how it feels and looks on the skin, but shade-matching is hideously difficult from the images and descriptions, despite Ilia’s ‘find my shade’ selfie and quiz service. I was recommended Bom Bom ST5 with Chicory concealer, duly bought both, and they’re way too light and make me look like a zombie. I was then recommended Diaz and Burdock concealer, and splashed out a shedload of cash again, only to find they’re still not right. My only option is to throw or give away over £150 of products, and order yet again, in Shela and Yukka, and pray they’re right this time. It’s heartbreaking, and really makes me wish I could get to a store to try products (I can’t - I’m a wheelchair user with progressive MS without a ... MoreI’m so sad: this is a really lovely product in terms of how it feels and looks on the skin, but shade-matching is hideously difficult from the images and descriptions, despite Ilia’s ‘find my shade’ selfie and quiz service.

If you get the right shade first time, you’re onto a winner with this product. If not, be prepared to weep into your empty purse.

I was searching for a new foundation after The Ordinary discontinued theirs. I used to be 2.0p in The Ordinary Serum Foundation. I went for the shade 'Balos' with this foundation, which isn't perfect for me, a bit too dark but might work better in peak summer. The consistency is very similar to The Ordinary that I'm trying to replace (the ingredients are also very similar). I have also ordered Ilia's other foundation, the Super Serum, and contacted them directly to ask for their recommendation for which shade I should choose, (sent a photo of myself make-up free and in daylight). They recommended Bon Bon, which isn't what I'd have chosen myself, but I purchased based on their advice. Its a much better match than the one I chose myself so I'd recommend contacting ... MoreI was searching for a new foundation after The Ordinary discontinued theirs.

That one is very dewy and natural looking, much more like a tinted moisturiser, so if you want more coverage I'd definitely go for the True Skin Serum Foundation.I've given 4 stars because I think it could last better and I wish there were more shades to choose from.

I find that most foundations settle into the fine lines but was pleased to find that this product didn't. Yes, it seems sticky, but you get used to that and the SPF rating is amazing - but probably contributes to the stickyness.I use this daily and find it lasts well. I do like a wet/moistured look. It doesn't seem to setting into dry skin like others.The bottle is a little messy, but not as bad as some reviewers say. I'm not sure hor they are using their dropper.For full coverage you don't need to use more than a few drops so lasts a while. I have found though that the dropper isn't working at the lower end of the bottle, however there still seems to be plenty in there when I pour it out.I highly recommend this product, expecially to those who want to hide from ... MoreI find that most foundations settle into the fine lines but was pleased to find that this product didn't.

I had waited for months to buy this as it was highly recommended to me!Although the shade range appears pretty comprehensive half of these are actually pure orange.The neutral and cool tone ones were super lumpy and full of sediment and so needed to be shaken very well before use which lead to uneven application and even more confusion around shade matching.My second issue was the smell, it had a fishy odour that was hard to get behind. I tried to like this product for about a month but I found it pretty much unusable. It's such a shame because I have needed a tinted sunscreen because of my hyperpigmentation and melasma and very few companies carry my shade so I was extra disappointed that this didn't meet expectations.It was too expensive for me to have so ... MoreI had waited for months to buy this as it was highly recommended to me!Although the shade range appears pretty comprehensive half of these are actually pure orange.The neutral and cool tone ones were super lumpy and full of sediment and so needed to be shaken very well before use which lead to uneven application and even more confusion around shade matching.My second issue was the smell, it had a fishy odour that was hard to get behind.

I really wanted to be in love with this, but I'm not. It's very watery, and really I don't feel like it does a lot to even out my skin much, which is telling since I have very normal skin which has little, if any, blemishes, though I have a bit of pigmentation and some redness. I generally use quite a bit of the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finishing Powder over the top which does the job of making the overall effect soft and even. The other issue I have is the smell, which is really not that pleasant. I like that it has an SPF in it, and feels nice and soft on my skin when applied, but I am debating whether I would buy it again on the basis of the things I am not thrilled about, especially considering the price. I think there's other cruelty free products ... MoreI really wanted to be in love with this, but I'm not.

I think there's other cruelty free products out there which may fit the bill. Still, I'll keep using in the hope that my opinion might improve. I would recommend to try it in store and see if it's the one for you, as many people adore this, but it's really not my bag. Yeah I will recommend, hoping the issues are just me!
Can't compliment this product enough - have already re-purchased. It is on the pricey side but I believe it is worth every penny for the way it has treated my skin.I have sensitive acne-prone skin and have to be careful about my product choices because they can mean the difference between balanced skin and a MAJOR SKIN FREAK OUT!So thank you Ilia for not only taking care of my skin but also for producing such a brilliant make up and skin care product in one. I was shocked by the way the coverage can almost be enough on its own, it provides an extremely healthy glow and when I come to take it off at the end of the day, it's clear it has been working on helping my skin through out the day.I was fortunate in my meticulous nature to really analyse the shade options ... MoreCan't compliment this product enough - have already re-purchased.

Wahoo!I always aim for a very light, barely there product because cakey feels gross for me... but if you wanted a heavier look, it works superbly underneath a light serum or non serum foundation.Life changer product right here! xx
I bought this because I wanted something lightweight and natural while I’m on maternity leave and getting around in very, very casual outfits and my hair in a messy bun. Well, it turns out that this product is best applied to bare skin…cos it is a moisturiser + serum + a bit of colour + sunscreen. Amazing. So it’s very expensive but I haven’t bought day cream or sunscreen since I got it so it averages out. Remember to shake it. If you get a sample in store you should stir it with the end of a makeup brush or you’ll think there’s no colour at all. Also, since the colour was such a great match for my skin, I wanted to get the foundation as well but just note the numbers are NOT equivalent. I’m a 7 (Diaz) in Skin Tint and haven’t found a suitable foundation colour ... MoreI bought this because I wanted something lightweight and natural while I’m on maternity leave and getting around in very, very casual outfits and my hair in a messy bun.

I had been looking to change my entire makeup range for clean(er) beauty products since I wear makeup pretty much every day. This foundation is a game changer. I thought it would not give much coverage because it is a runny consistency. How wrong I was. It is super pigmented and gives great coverage. It gives a dewy finish which is perfect for my skin which is on the dry side. Keeps skin moisturised due to the squalene and hyluaronic acid. I imagine anyone with oilier skin may want to couple this foundation with loose powder to mattify but I personally love the dewy look which stays all day. I went with Ora which is a light medium warm toned foundation. It is a perfect match. I did have to do a lot of research on YouTube finding users with similar skin tone who had ... MoreI had been looking to change my entire makeup range for clean(er) beauty products since I wear makeup pretty much every day.

Works for me and I can't imagine using any other foundation now. Goodbye Nars and Charlotte tilbury, hello Ilia! Made even better with the spf30 to prevent UV damage.
I was able to get a sample of this product when I went instore whilst on holidays (I live several hours from my nearest Mecca so had a long list of brands to check out). I’m so glad I got to try as a sample as this product didn’t work for me. Although it is oil free, the formula feels really greasy on, especially when layered on top of other products. For reference I just used a moisturising spf and then this skin tint so I wasn’t even layering up my usual serums. It felt like it just moved around my face and never really set. The colour I was matched to also throw a lot of orange, it may just have been the wrong shade match for me. And the smell was terrible! I gave it 1 star because the ethics of the brand are great and the ingredients are good, but this product ... MoreI was able to get a sample of this product when I went instore whilst on holidays (I live several hours from my nearest Mecca so had a long list of brands to check out).

It’s Important to note that whilst these type of products are marketed as spf, you still need to wear a dedicated spf underneath because you are unable to get the appropriate amount of protection from this product alone.
Just received this today, tried it and straight into a review I was so blown away. I have been using Chanel for years and whilst I love that too, thought it time for a change and so glad I did. This ilia super serum tint goes on beautifully with fingertips; skin feels and looks dewy without the greasy effect and gives better coverage than I thought it would even when applying a very small amount. One thing though, I went a shade darker than the 'match' recommended and glad I did. I have mature skin and dislike the thick,ghost/pasty look so one shade darker worked superbly for me. Love also the benefits that this product espouses. Too soon to know, but SPF 40 sounds pretty good.Three hours on and it still feels so hydrating
