Affordable foundation

This is a great foundation. It provides medium coverage. It blends well and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The claims are true, it doesn't give you that flash back when you take photos, so I will always reach for this one if I know I'll be taking photos or going out in the evening to an event where there might be flash photography. The only thing that I don't like about this foundation is that it does smell like paint and it definitely bothered me at first but once you blend it into your skin the smell goes away. So that's just something to be aware of!

So affordable

I have recently fallen in love with this foundation and it has quickly become my go-to. I've bought this about 3 times now and absolutely love that it only costs $13.00 at Farmers which is so amazing, especially if you are anything like me and use foundation daily!

The formula is quite nice, definitely more of the matte side but doesn't leave me looking or feeling dry. I've found that some other matte foundations dry quickly and are hard to apply as they set so quick, but that definitely isn't the case with this, I usually apply with a brush around my face and then pat it all down with a beauty blender for the perfect finish. The coverage I would say is medium but is 100% buildable to more.

The only thing I don't like about this is the scent, it has a very strong smell (like paint or something), but I've started to get used to that now and it doesn't last all day, just as I am applying it.

I love the glass bottle that it comes and and I love that it is square and not round so it doesn't roll around in my makeup draw. It does come with a plastic spatula which I don't mind, but when it starts to get to the bottom I find I need to start tipping the foundation out rather than scooping it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best drugstore foundation EVER!

Love love love this foundation! definitely prefer it over most high end foundations. The wet n wild foundation definitely works with all skins types (I have combo skin). The coverage of this product is so amazing for everyday or even a night out. 10/10 would recommend to anyone starting out in makeup or even somebody who is looking for a new drugstore foundation with amazing coverage.

Tips: Might help to make sure you wipe the opening of the bottle as sometimes depending on the heat or atmosphere you store your makeup products in, the foundation tends to dry up around the sides other than that its perfect.

Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation

Purchased this foundation for my daughter and was really impressed with the quality. Gives a lovely finish which photographs really nicely, now I'm tempted to buy it in my shade as it's so cheap and gives a similar finish on her as Mac Studio Fix.

Bought this after seeing rave reviews on YouTube. They were right, it is an amazing foundation and worth much more than what you pay for it. I will buy again but in a lighter shade and mix with my current shade.
