This will give you more coverage than a tinted moisturizer or light foundation but it’s definitely not FULL coverage. I love that type of foundation finish paired with a matte lip for contrast :) I do love that controlled luminous skin seems to be a trend with foundations now (I also have the Stila Aqua Glow Foundation and Concealer to test and review as well) as it’s really pretty to let your skin have some shine and not be so matte. It’s a foundation texture and finish I don’t normally reach for, but I would definitely incorporate this into my looks more often (but also keep in mind I work from home so I have basically two makeup looks: no makeup at all and ALL the makeup…lol). I just used a light dusting wear I get the oiliest (typically my T-zone) and then when there was oil breakthrough all over, I let it rock. I actually think you should go easy on using powder with this. I haven’t had a chance to try this in warmer, summer-like temperatures and I do suspect this wouldn’t be my first choice for oily skin in warmer weather, but this is beautiful for me now while it’s colder. But I’m happy to report that this was more of a controlled luminous and wore beautifully on me. Not that I don’t like being luminous, it’s just that once you put a “luminous” foundation on oily skin like mine, it’s like a recipe for disaster. See how the Deep Golden shade worked on three different skin tones hereĪnother thing I was kind of side-eyeing about this foundation at first was the “Aqua Luminous” part. In fact it’s funny, my homey Christene and I both wear Deep Bronze and we’re SOOOO different in skin tone-I’m so many shades darker than she is. But after applying it it started to work beautifully on. I was so shocked to see how Deep Bronze (the deepest shade) actually worked amazingly on me because it looked super light in the bottle and also once I dispensed the product out. After a few minutes of side-eyeing we all tried it on and instantly became amazed at how it worked on everyone’s skin tones. We all kinda gave the foundation the side eye once we saw the limited amount of shades but we all knew the reps and the makeup artists at BECCA so we we’re trusting…lol. In the room with me were other women of color in varying skin tones. I actually got to try BECCA Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation a few months before it launched at a focus group with the brand before receiving these for review consideration. Ok, so maybe it’s not magic but has more to do with the contents of this amazing formula that makes it work for virtually all skin tones. It’ll warm up to your complexion and magically match. So before you judge BECCA Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation for having only eight shades, it’s important to understand that this foundation is basically magic and one shade works for a wide range of skin tones.
