Cheap AND Amazing?!

Wow, when I saw the price of this, I'll be honest my expectations weren't that highest. But after just 1 use of this foundation I am HOOKED. Not only is my wallet happy, but my face is too! Such a flawless finish, light weight coverage but is build able for sure. I can easily get a full coverage look without looking cakey/ thick. This is now my go to foundation out of everything :)

Tips: Personally I think it applies better with a sponge than a brush.

Prep your skin well

After hearing so many great things about this foundation I decided to give it a go. $13 for a foundation is so awesome, but to be honest I didn't have high hopes at first. I don't really love the little applicator wand, I don't use it at all.

It comes in a sturdy glass bottle, I got the lightest shade and find it is not a bad match for my fair skin. I have dry skin and if I don't exfoliate first and prep my skin well it definitely clings to my dry patches.

It is nice and lightweight and does not cake on me, it lasts all day on me and doesn't oxidize at all. It looks pretty good at the end of the day, I really hate having to touch up my foundation during the day so I generally never do this. It does however have an odd paint smell, it doesn't hang around long but I find it unpleasant.

Photo wise it is pretty great, I don't take a lot of pics but on a girls night out I wore this and the pics looked really great! So a definite thumbs up for that. I do really like this foundation but think my skin may be too dry so really need a hydrating foundation. Definitely give it a go and see if it suits your skin.

Great review, it sounds really good and the first question I always ask is whether it is good for those with dry skin. I exfoliate regularly and user primer so hopefully this will be hydrating enough. At $13 what have I got to lose right? lol

Great Colour & Affordable

Trying to get into the whole foundation thing so picked this up on a shopping haul. $13 is super affordable. I shade matched online in advance and have to say this is a pretty good match. (Desert Beige) Even though it's affordable I still think it has nice packaging. Glass with a black top lid. Has a spatula type applicator that i apply to spots on my face before blending in.

I'm not a full cover queen so have never tried to build up the foundation, I prefer a natural type look. I like the result and find it to be flattering and complimentary, not cakey. It does have a scent, it's a bit offputting but you don't smell it after applying it. Can use other make up products on top of this and have no problems. Blends out easily with a brush (don't know about a blender as I don't use them)

I am happy with this product and would repurchase again in future. Great starter foundation if you are just getting into base products.

Wet n Wild photo focus foundation

I have tried a few foundations,mostly all drug store like Maybelline, revlon etc and this one by far is my favourite! I have the shade golden beige which I think suits me perfectly, it has a yellow undertone. I always have a hard time finding the right colour because I get confused with undertones I think. It's affordable, $13 at countdown. One layer gave me medium coverage, what i really love about it is that its very lightweight and feels as though I'm only wearing a moisuriser. Color matching was hard though. I had to watch tutorials on YouTube and there's also a site called findation where you can find your color match to other brands. But I was lucky to pick the perfect shade for me and it doesnt oxidise.

My holy grail affordable foundation

I was sceptical at first to try this foundation given the extremely affordable price. However after trying it a few times I was instantly hooked. I really like the finish of this foundation too, it leaves a subtle glow but doesn't feel oily on my face. As for the Photo Focus part I fully back that statement! My skin always looks amazing when I take photos wearing this foundation, no flashback and doesn't look cakey. Highly recommend if you're after an affordable new foundation.

Tips: I have found that it performs the same whether I use a primer or not. It blends flawlessly into my skin with either a brush or makeup sponge.

In Love With This Foundation

I'm not usually a fan of liquid foundation, I mainly stick to BB or CC creams as these don't break my out or give my skin a reaction.

I purchased based on rave reviews on here and on YouTube. I have highly sensitive, dry, dull skin usually.

It comes in a wee glass jar, has plenty of product and has a little twist lid with a wand applicator on the end. Didn't think I would like this but I actually do.

I bought 2 shades as I wasnt sure - Rose Ivory and Nude Ivory. I blend both together to get the perfect shade.

The formula is a bit runny but not a huge deal to me. I apply, then blend with a beauty blender.

This gives you a full coverage application and is buildable. Just make sure you moisturise and apply primer if you have dry skin like me.

Overall, great product and the fact my skin hasn't reacted is amazing. Definitely recommend.

Affordable and performs well

I decided to give this foundation a try after rave reviews I had seen on YouTube. I picked up a bottle from Countdown supermarket for around $14. Super low price for a foundation. Application is easy with the little spatula connected to the lid. It will also mean less wasted product as it nears being empty. The product itself applies well and blends easily. It has a medium to full coverage, which I love. After a few hours my t zone became quite oily and the foundation started to slide off. I think it would perform better with a primer and setting product. The only downside I found to this product, is that I noticed my skin starting to break out after using it. This is something I don’t usually experience with foundations. Overall, I found this a great performing foundation at an awesome price which I think is definitely worth recommending.

Tips: Use with a primer and setting powder/spray to ensure the foundation stays put. Watch out for breakouts after use. Make sure to cleanse thoroughly!

Favorite drugstore foundation

My skin is naturally Oily and this stuff helps keep the oil at bay. I do have to apply powder after a few hours but who cares still looks good lol.

This foundation is Medium coverage but you are able to put more on to give it a fuller look. The shade range is pretty good too eve,n if you have to mix two different colors you aren't breaking the bank since they're so affordable.

Smells awful, blends like a dream

I really like this foundation. I'm usually a luxury brand kinda girl for foundations, since I have a pink undertone to my skinny and I often struggle to find a foundation that doesn't make me look hideously orange, or oxidise horrendously.

This is my new fave. I love my MAC and my Lancome, but for the price of 1 of those, I can get 5 of the Wet 'n' Wild, it's kind of no contest!

The component is pretty good, The glass bottle feels sturdy, then spatula is great for getting the product out and applying.

For me, the product is buildable, medium to full coverage, and works really well. It does crease quite badly for me if I don't set it well, but I learned my lesson quite quickly! It smells sort of like kids poster paint on initial application, but the smell goes away pretty quickly (thankfully)!

For $14 at full price, or whatever you can get it for on sale at Farmers, it's pretty unbeatable in my opinion, and it's made me think twice about my super expensive luxury foundation habit!!

Tips: A damp beauty sponge is the way to go- dot the face and dab to blend for a flawless finish. Priming definitely helps with longevity for this one. Make sure you're crease free and set well with powder.
