Hey there just wondering if a lot of these negative reviews, for instance the one that says it's really runny.... Did you actually read what the product is at all? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but I'm baffled as to why anybody would think that an additive for foundation that you need to add to your foundation in an eye dropper to shift the color should be thick?How would it mix into the product easily? How would it get in the eye dropper or come out?This is meant to change your existing foundation color by adding it to your existing product, not used instead of foundation on its own.I worked for years as a professional color matcher for paint and stains and other decorative items. I blend my own makeup colors as well.If you go to get a gallon of paint ... MoreHey there just wondering if a lot of these negative reviews, for instance the one that says it's really runny....

Other than that... If you do not have an eye for color, if you are not adding this to existing foundation, if you do not need to shift the shade of your current foundation.... this product is not what you need, it is not that the product is bad. There's a big difference.

Ok, I was so hesitant to buy this because of the terrible reviews but I'm glad I did.. The colour looks a lot darker on the box than it actually is, so take it out the box and have a look before you buy. I bought my usual shade "Vanilla" and immediately tried it out when I got home. I am very pale and this is the only foundation I've found that matches my skin tone. It did look really pale to start with but when it settled and I added powder and bronzer.. omg it looks amazing!! My skin looks flawless, no pores visible. I use a dry beauty blender for full coverage and it covers all my blemishes! The only negative is the staying power, at the end of the day it starts to separate a little but I can live with that. Also I would avoid if you have really dry skin because ... MoreOk, I was so hesitant to buy this because of the terrible reviews but I'm glad I did..

Dont let all the negative reviews put you off, definitely try before you buy if you're unsure but I'm so glad I took the risk!

I love this foundation, not only is it lightweight when needed but also good consistency! My biggest complaint against the foundation is that you may need to buy a shade lighter then your skin because a darker shade can make your face appear orange tinted. That being said I have two bottles, one that is slightly darker than the other. The darker one I bought because it's the same color of concealer that I matched to my skin but I highly recommend a lighter shade, but I kept the dark bottle and use it under my cheekbones and to blend into my neck for a seamless look.The bottle is a stereotypical dropper bottle and isn't hard to use, when using my hands or a beauty blender the dropper is nice but when going for a thin layer using a brush with the dropper isn't as ... MoreI love this foundation, not only is it lightweight when needed but also good consistency!

As a simple workaround to get a light even layer on a brush either gently brush the glass dropper that has product as opposed to dropping actually foundation on the brush. The will keep an even layer on the skin instead of building it up and make it appear as more of a skin tint for those days when you want a more lightweight but more than skin tint to even out skin tone.In conclusion, this is my go to foundation for everyday use as it is diverse enough for building coverage for blemishes or a small layer just to even out the skin tone on those good skin days! It is non irritating and has never caused me to break out as long as I wash it off at night just find the application routine that works for you and make sure not to drop the glass bottle.

It’s not my favorite product from the company, and I’m specifically giving it a one star because of how the shades are being shown on the website. I bought this as a gift for my cousin and the deepest shade, while on the site looked like it would match her didn’t match her. It would be fine if it stopped with it just not matching. I bought it online knowing there might be some room for error especially since I’m buying it for another person. But the “darkest shade” doesn’t even look the same irl. Why would you try to pretend you’re offering inclusive range when you’re not? If that’s not something you can do, be upfront about it. Its not fact cosmetic don’t care about darker skinned people is something new. It’s not new.

Because if they were, the product would look the same on irl as it does in person. It’s much MUCH lighter. I can’t say I’m surprised or even that I expect change because it’s 2022. The executives at this company should know better. But they don’t care. So hopefully I saved someone some money and time.
I LOOOOVED the old total control drop foundation. It was the only foundation I could find that actually matched my color without being too light, too dark,too red, or too orange. I tried multiple foundations (high and low end) and could never get a color that fit me until I went into the Nyx store at the mall and was color matched to 16.5 (nutmeg). I wore that color for years until the pandemic hit and I moved away from the store. Imagine my surprise when I reordered the foundation from Ulta’s website and got the same shade and the color had me looking casket ready. I was gray and dry which was so unexpected. I’m very upset since ordered multiple bottles of what is essentially useless to me.The Nyx store unfortunately closed down permanently so I cannot go in to ... MoreI LOOOOVED the old total control drop foundation.

I’ve been searching for a new foundation for months, since my go-to became too difficult to get. I’ve spent up to $60 on bottles that made my dry skin patches look like cakey chalk. I also have extremely pale, hard to match skin.Seeing the flexibility of the drops, I decided to give them a try. I ordered the Illuminator and the Lightener as well. For the first application, I applied a drop of each. It was awful. Same chalk-like texture I’ve been trying to avoid.But I did some research and found some videos and comments from people who reiterated the flexibility of the product (I’m sorry I don’t remember their names or I’d credit them!), and how you can really customize it for your skin tone. Based on this, I tried again mixing with 50% tinted moisturizer and the ... MoreI’ve been searching for a new foundation for months, since my go-to became too difficult to get.

The makeup stayed fresh all day. So if you have dry skin, try mixing with your favorite moisturizer. You’ll probably be happy you did!
It’s taken such a long time to find a foundation that I love. This is it. I love that it’s Vegan firstly secondly it is a great color match and I love how light feeling it is after applying. It stays on very well. I use a moisturizer underneath it so it’s not drying at all for me. I’m having a hard time finding it as Ulta does not carry it anymore and the NYX website is out. I’m worried it’s been discontinued. Please let me know if it’s been discontinued. It’ll break my heart but will need to start searching for a new product. Crossing my fingers that’s not the case.
The old formula of this foundation was a holy grail - I had switched from a tried-and-true drugstore brand because I like NYX better overall as a brand/company. But this new bottle of Total Control drop foundation I got has let me down entirely. First off, the old packaging was much better for precise dispensing of the foundation. The new dropper acts more like a wand than anything, as the foundation simply drips out of it. Second, as many other reviewers have noted, the new formula is far more greasy/oily feeling, and sits a lot heavier on the skin. Thirdly, and again like others have pointed out, this doesn't provide coverage like the old formula did. I had little issue with the old formula creasing and settling into pores, but this new one does, even with the NYX ... MoreThe old formula of this foundation was a holy grail - I had switched from a tried-and-true drugstore brand because I like NYX better overall as a brand/company.

I have combination skin - i get dry patches on my chin, forehead and cheeks but i have oily skin on my nose & around my mouth. This foundation didn't last longer than an hour. Two, at most. It literally looked like someone poured a vat of grease on my face. It also settled into my fine lines, specifically around my mouth area. I could also feel it sitting atop my face. It felt so uncomfortable. It definitely won't last in warm weather, and I can't imagine working a shift with this foundation on. It separates as soon as you sweat.On the positive side, this foundation has good coverage. A little goes a long way. I only added a drop or two and it covered my whole face, as well as my neck.

(i'm on the paler side with neutral undertones. most foundation makes me look orange or pink. Porcelain was a perfect match). So disappointed. If it didn't make me look like a greasy rat i wouldve liked it more.I might repurchase if i can find a good setting powder for this foundation. I hate wasting product. For now, it'll remain at the bottom of my drawer.
This has the thickness of water. Seriously. I see someone blabbin on here about how tints are watery, she dont see how ppl are complaining etc. Yet she never bought the product, just guving us her paint expertise and is saying things like "How could you even mix a thicker solution with foundation.." That should tell you exactly how informed her advice is. I did buy it and I promise you that the second you add this to your makeup the entire composition will be changed but not lightened. If you add enough to make a noticeable different (since its a very sheer/not opaque watery liquid) your foundation will also have the texture of water. It will lose any coverage it once had. Even a little bit is too much because it ruined my $60 foundation with 3 drops. NOT ENTIRE ... MoreThis has the thickness of water. Seriously.

Not lightened and it now is just a more watety sheer version of my foundation with a greasy dry-oil feel. I have never felt more angry about a beauty product because they didn't even TRY to make it do what they claim it already does. I returned it. A shame because I had a positive opinion of NYX until I bought 2 lipliners that wouldnt even show color on my light skin and were dried out, brown epic ink liner that wouldnt go on the eye AT ALL which was a first for me (was light, watery and unbuildable unlike the black epic liner) and then when I got this overpriced hue shifter that sealed the deal and made me realize that NYX has become a scammer beauty brand that thinks their customers are fools.
