Smells like paint.

This foundation is affordably and has a light shade suitable for my skin tone which was the main reason I purchased. I wished I could have tested it instore first as the smell resembles paint flumes so I couldn't use it more then once. It blended well and sat nicely on my skin but I honestly felt like I was wearing toxic chemicals. The applicator wand is like a mini spatula and I found it a bit messy to use. I'm not sure what all the hype is about as there are definitely nicer supermarket/warehouse foundation's available for $20.

Tips: Test before buying.

Underwhelmed is an understatement

I picked this up from the warehouse on an outing we had over a weekend a few weeks ago. I go through foundation fast as I wear it daily to work.

Packaging comes in a clear bottle colour is visible from the outside . I got the shade golden . It’s texture is a thin liquid . It’s applies smoothly but layers up cakey . I tried to to even it out is dries down into a powdery casey looking mess . I try to even it out with a blender and brush it absorbs into my brush making it a night mare to work with .

I wouldn’t pay $20 for this it’s not worth it . I’d rather use maybelline fit me over this one . What a disappointing product for wet n wild .

No from me

I might be apart of the minority here, I didn’t like this foundation. I used it for the first time for a photoshoot and when I received the photos my foundation was extremely patchy to the point of me deciding to not keep any of the photos. The formula was nice and thin, it smelt a little like paint though too. Unfortunately it’s a big no for me on this one.

No thanks

It started with the applicator. Not love at first sight. Then the smell and finish wasn't great either. Disappointed because it was hyped up by influencers.

Not the best, not the worst.

This stuff is cheap and if you know the way to use it you could look great! The price point is so great (like $12NZD?) it made me a bit nervous as to why it was so cheap! Stoked in Farmers and often out of the full colour range. I finally got my hands on some and matched my colour great. The applicator is kind of meh (stick transfer application) and added the extra step of putting in a hygienic surface first instead of wiping it on my face. Coverage was good, scent minimal but LORD ABOVE does this stuff oxidise!! For the sake of time and saving $ on incorrect shades, I wouldn’t purchase again. If someone managed to get a shade too light so that the oxidation matches their tone- go for gold. I can’t be bothered...

Tips: The lipsticks are good ;)

Disappointed after all the hype

I heard a LOT of You Tubers tall about how amazing this foundation was. I was super excited to try it as the price tag is amazing! Unfortunately it showed up every pore and line :( I tried with and without primer, different moisturizer and even tried adding an oil. A big pass for me. Maybe my skin is too dry or more suitable for younger skin (38 here). For the price it's not a big investment if you want to try for yourself.

Cheap, but patchy

Very reasonably priced, but it is very thin, smells like paint and the it applies quite patchy. I would say it is medium coverage, whereas I was expecting full coverage. I use it to dilute darker foundations in my preferred brands. I like how it has a spatula applicator.

Tips: Wouldn’t recommend for use with a brush. Sponge only.

Good price, not so good product

For me this product wasn't great. I found it pilled a bit on my skin, was quite hard to blend out and doesn't leave a very smooth look! I'm not a super avid foundation wearer, but for those who are I wouldn't say this is your best option. Does the job if you're on a budget though :)

An easy wear foundation

This foundation has had a lot of hype on YouTube and for the price of course I had to try it. I picked it up at Farmers for $13 and for a large glass jar is pretty good value. The smell is pretty intense and is very chemically but doesn’t last on the skin. It goes on well and initially looks pretty good, not too matte but good for my combo skin. As the day wore on it started to separate on my skin but only a little bit and with a little powder over the top (when this happens) it can be fixed. The colour range is good and can be purchased anywhere Wet N Wild is stocked but even though it was pretty decent I just didn’t love it. If I really needed to buy a cheaper foundation I would purchase this again and it’s good for the lighter makeup days but I won’t be rushing out to replace it.
