NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation Light Porcelain 30ml

Ever have a product in your collection you use because you’re satisfied just enough to be able to justify using it - but, in use of it you are purposely conserving your holy grails? This is one of those products for me. I generally use this product when I’m running errands as this an easy foundation to work with, and it’s an affordable option. I find that I do have to prime more thoroughly and ensure my face is extra moisturized while using this product, as it tends to cling and intensify attention towards any patch of dryness. This foundation is very buildable and blendable, so you can easily achieve the coverage you’re looking for. As mentioned above in regards to dryness, this foundation can also be drying on your skin so if you have dry skin and aren’t going to ... MoreEver have a product in your collection you use because you’re satisfied just enough to be able to justify using it - but, in use of it you are purposely conserving your holy grails?

As mentioned above in regards to dryness, this foundation can also be drying on your skin so if you have dry skin and aren’t going to prepare for application, I wouldn’t recommend. One of the things that gravitated me towards this line of foundation was the shade range; at the time, it was rare for a drugstore brand to have a broad range for their consumers. I really respected NYX for doing that. This is a decent foundation. Is it my favorite? No. Is it one of the best formulas I’ve tried? No. But, I get a lot of use out of this and enjoy the results well enough to continue using during my normal day to day activities. A solid 3.5/5.

Best drugstore pale olive foundation

I have very pale olive skin. It’s so hard to find foundations and I usually end up having to mix them with a green color corrector. I bought this foundation in the shade “Pale” and it’s the closest thing to a perfect match I’ve ever bought. Beware, it doesn’t apply like typical foundations and takes a bit of trial and error. It’s silicone based, so it will not work with water based moisturizers or concealers. Exfoliate because it will cling to dry skin. Also, I use a brush to blend and it dries very quickly. Work in small sections rather than applying all over your face and blending. No need for setting powder because it does NOT move.

Cheap liquid powder

This is not full coverage at all. It's just a liquid powder suspension. Incredibly disappointing. Because it's a liquid powder, it immediately seeps into any flaw you have, and cracks when you move your face. When it's dry, it comes right off just like regular face powder.The color range is deceptive. I wear standard light shade in foundation. I compared the bottle to my regular foundation bottle and made matching selection. However, when I swatched it...it was about 4 shades too light! It's much lighter on skin than in the bottle. It was so light I couldn't wear it. Tried medium olive and that worked, but the same problems arose.Zero coverageEmphasizes flaws instead of coveringNot a foundation at all...liquid powderDeception with shades

Don’t stop won’t stop foundation won’t pump after a few uses

I purchased a bottle of this because my friend had one I used at her place that was clogging bad so I assumed she had it a while, I asked her after my ordeal she said no it was less than 2 months old…the only good thing was it covered my face good, so I purchased my own not even a month after using I could not get it to pump and when it did it shot over my brand new rock revival jeans ($200) a pair and not so cheap hoodie! I have to put a Bobby pin in the hole to dig all the clumps of foundation out so I could use it. DO NOT BUY THIS PLZ TRUST ME I KNOW MY MAKEUP THIS WAS MY THIRD BOTTLE!!! I guess you get what you pay for I spent 13 I believe at Walmart but will never buy any of there products after wasting money on two or three bottles because I thought I had a ... MoreI purchased a bottle of this because my friend had one I used at her place that was clogging bad so I assumed she had it a while, I asked her after my ordeal she said no it was less than 2 months old…the only good thing was it covered my face good, so I purchased my own not even a month after using I could not get it to pump and when it did it shot over my brand new rock revival jeans ($200) a pair and not so cheap hoodie!

It’s all the same. If you want to deal with the mess and stress and energy you gotta put in to use this by all means go for it! Walmart would not give my money back I tossed receipt when I bought but contact the maker well…..I don’t want anymore of their garbage thick like paste makeup! No thanks! Good luck I hope someone else had better luck with this can’t stop won’t stop…did stop it stopped working lol

Great coverage & lasts all day

Wow ! Firstly I would like to describe my skin type .. it’s combination … sometimes with spots & blackheads and oily and other times clear & oily.My holy grail foundation is always double wear , I cannot fault it. But I wanted to try something else for every day wear for work but with the same amazing results as double wear. ( purely because EL is a bit pricey for everyday use ).I have tried SO many alternatives and then I saw YouTube demos on this foundation & was impressed by their extensive shade range … I am share RATTAN in double wear and the shade TRUE BEIGE is a perfect dupe !! .The coverage is beautifully soft matte … it applies lovely with a foundation brush…. 2 layers and you are FLAWLESS ( if you like the heavy coverage look ) . It doesn’t budge ... MoreWow !

It doesn’t budge throughout the day … doesn’t flake away or oxidise … covers all of my imperfections & dark circles !It’s just a really beautiful foundation .. I never leave reviews but after spending ALLOT of wasted money on many high street foundations I thought i just had to leave a glowing review. Will definitely repurchase !Also , it lasts ALL day. I work in a childrens nursery & get ready at 7am … home at 5pm .. and my foundation looks great !

I’ve found my perfect match!

I’ve spent years trying different foundations and never really found one I have been truly happy with. I tried this for the first time and found I loved a lot of the qualities. Firstly I loved the texture of the foundation itself, it felt silky to the touch and feels incredible on my skin. I found it spread evenly across my skin and covered all my problem areas fantastically. The full coverage of this foundation means that it covered all these areas without clogging to them or making my pores become defined. I found unlike other foundations this one stayed in place all day with minimal touch ups throughout the day. Usually I have to touch up throughout the day and pretty much start from scratch in the evening to cover up patches which have appeared throughout the ... MoreI’ve spent years trying different foundations and never really found one I have been truly happy with.

I found unlike other foundations this one stayed in place all day with minimal touch ups throughout the day. Usually I have to touch up throughout the day and pretty much start from scratch in the evening to cover up patches which have appeared throughout the day, however with this foundation I found it stayed pretty much in place throughout the day. I found a small amount of the product went a long way and was easily manipulated using brushes to spread evenly across the face. I never find it easy to find a perfect skin tone match and using the information online I think I’ve managed to find a good match although I would love to test other shades to be sure that it’s not too dark for my skin. I would love to have a feature that found a match to previous shades used for other brands or a way to better match to my skin tone to be sure it was correct for me, without having to visit in store. Perhaps the opportunity to have a selection of sample pots recommended for skin tone to be used before purchasing a bottle? Overall however I am extremely happy with this product and is something which I have already begun to recommend to others after receiving compliments and would happily purchase in the future as it ticks all my boxes.

Not good .. terrible in fact

Would give a 0 if I could. Mosturized twice , primed and then tried for the first time and will never use again ! It’s like liquid chalk , almost impossible to move on the face . Honestly reminded me of using a zinc SPF. I looked like a cakey clown afterwards and yet left the house thinking I’d give it a shot … got home and I had pores and hairs and dry spots that I swear to god never existed before. Horrific honestly. I’m not a foundation snob by any means and I have pretty decent skin but this product not only aged me but made me question if I should wear foundation ever again. My skin looked 20 years younger before I applied , very suprised this is even still on the shelves. Ghastly.

The best I've had!

I am a very pale person with problematic skin that has acne scars that need to be covered up, and sensivite skin that will break out if it can't breathe. Consequently, no matter what foundation I've tried, it was either not enough to cover up the blemishes or too much, resulting in more breakouts. This foundation was a godsend, after years of searching for a perfect formula both in highly expensive luxury brands and drug store makeup, I felt like I've tried everything. This foundation is something I will only ever replace if NYX discontinues it. The shade matches my skin perfectly, covers up everything I need, and once washed off my skin doesnt feel stressed and itchy. The consistency is creamy with a pleasant smell. I am so happy this foundation exists and I have ... MoreI am a very pale person with problematic skin that has acne scars that need to be covered up, and sensivite skin that will break out if it can't breathe.

Water based foundation

Background:I bought this because I use water based and serum foundations because the certain silicones break me out. I used to use MAC Waterweight but I wanted to try a cheaper one and see if it was good. (Tip: Mac Waterweight is exactly the same as Smashbox BB water, which is what I was using before but the MAC is cheaper by a few dollars and the Smashbox was D/c)Comparison:I was looking at L'Oreal Infallible foundation as that is also water based, but it looked like it settled into lines in a swatch more than this did, and that one felt sticky and didn't dry down. This one is thicker. The bottles were all clogged or empty at Ulta in the testers and the tops don't come off which is a negative. The shade range is good. I tried to comparable it to the Nyx Total ... MoreBackground:I bought this because I use water based and serum foundations because the certain silicones break me out.

This one is thicker. The bottles were all clogged or empty at Ulta in the testers and the tops don't come off which is a negative. The shade range is good. I tried to comparable it to the Nyx Total Control Drops, but I feel those may be slightly lighter for the same name, but I still went with the same name in the Can't Stop Won't Stop that matched me in the Drops (vanilla), as the next ones were too orange or greenish. The Drops were closer to my MAC in texture, but they are the same price as this for less than half the amount, and price per ounce is actually expensive. Plus I wanted to try to see if a different formula was better.Application and finish:It's slightly light but blends in well. It is not full coverage. I don't think using a damp blender works with these kinds of water based foundations. It tends to break it apart with a sponge unless maybe a lot more product is used and I don't like to apply that much. I don't like the look and feel of too much foundation and find it wasteful. Application is key!!I always like the way these foundations look applied with my fingers better and often that is recommended with these types anyway. It doesn't do well over certain silicone primers.It has a natural skin like finish, slightly matte, at least compared to the very wet serum foundations. I appreciate that this dries down even without powder because those other kinds often do not and they melt easily and transfer. So far, for a water based foundation I think it's pretty good. No breakouts and there are pros above my previous foundations. The MAC has great ingredients and nice coloring, but it moves A LOT and too much powder on top makes it look cakey. I feel that the MAC is better for the skin but I'm happy with this so far especially because it stays put.

not as good as ppl say

honestly i had high hopes for this foundation because nyx usually has great products. i have really oily skin, literally after half an hour my face starts to get really oily even if i stay indoors. although, i do have dry eyelids which is weird, i still don’t consider my skin as combination tho. anyways, the foundation was a little pricey for drugstore, i got it for $16 ($17 with tax) at CVS. the shade range is okay.. i got vanilla for my warm tone and when i applied the foundation it was so mf hard to blend. it kept clinging onto my dry patches which i didn’t even know i have. it looks very patchy and cakey as i kept trying to blend with a damp beauty blender. it was like a horror movie seeing it on my eyelids. like the amount of flakey skin it creates…. ok but the ... Morehonestly i had high hopes for this foundation because nyx usually has great products. i have really oily skin, literally after half an hour my face starts to get really oily even if i stay indoors. although, i do have dry eyelids which is weird, i still don’t consider my skin as combination tho. anyways, the foundation was a little pricey for drugstore, i got it for $16 ($17 with tax) at CVS. the shade range is okay.. i got vanilla for my warm tone and when i applied the foundation it was so mf hard to blend. it kept clinging onto my dry patches which i didn’t even know i have. it looks very patchy and cakey as i kept trying to blend with a damp beauty blender. it was like a horror movie seeing it on my eyelids. like the amount of flakey skin it creates…. ok but the finish was okay tho. it is matte which is good butttt i wore it thoughout the day in the summer heat with a mask on and after like 4 hours, it started to crease really bad and created a line around my mouth area. (also not mask friendly, smudges) it dried up real bad under my eyes and it started melting off so my face looked very cakey and uneven tone. even my mom shamed my makeup💀💀 it was so noticeable and she told me to never wear makeup ever again so THATS FUN. the only good thing is that this foundation didnt oxidize but that doesn’t excuse the horror it did to my face. i’ll probably be returning this idk.
