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!

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.

Good coverage and great price

I bought this foundation after reading a good review online. It was $12.99 at Farmers. I’ve been wearing a Clinique foundation that I’d made last years (I know that’s bad!), but can’t stretch to that again so was looking for an affordable alternative. I can’t comment on the photo finish properties, that’s not why I purchased it. I bought the Golden Beige shade. After reading other reviews, I went back to sniff it and yes, it does have a fairly strong odour, but I honestly didn’t notice that when I first used it. The little spatula was handing for dabbing on, then I blended with my fingers. It was easy to blend and didn’t settle into my fine lines and gave a good light cover evening out my skin well. It’s not a heavy coverage, which is fine with me, but might not give enough coverage for some. I applied a little powder over the top to the areas that tend to shine, and found that it lasted well over the day. It was easy to remove with a Micellar water cleanser. All up, l’m really happy and would definitely buy it again.

Tips: Don’t worry about the smell...it doesn’t last.

Not bad - but a little overhyped

This was my first product from wet and wild and loved the price! also like how its meant to look good in photos under various lights. Every youtuber was raving about this so I picked it up, its not bad and for the price its an okay foundation but it didn't sit nicely on my skin it always looked cakey and patchy - especially when I'd fake tan and use a darker shade. It looked ok in photos but in some it still looked off. I have normal to slightly dry skin and this made my skin feel quite dry.

Tips: Not a fan of the darker shades in the range.

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.

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.

It’s great!

I never wear foundation but I needed one for an occasion and bought this due to the price! It covered really well, I would say medium and definitely buildable upon that. Average colour selections. The applicator is a paddle which I found difficult to use. It lasted all day through the muggy weather, some creases by the end of the day but that could have been all the laughing and smiling.

Tips: Start off with a small amount and build up from there. I feel like this could get quite cakey very quickly.

Good for daily wear

I picked this up because its so affordable and really wanted to give it a go.

I have normal - dry skin and I found it had quite a good balance of matte finish (but not super matte) + hydration for my skin. I didnt get any dry patches using it and it lasts throughout the day pretty well. I apply with a sponge and finish with a light dusting of powder to set.

I like the stick applicator as its less messy than trying to tip onto your sponge or fingers etc.

I would purchase this again if they expanded the shade range. It is very limited and none really suit my skin currently which is a shame cos its a good little daily wearer.

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 .

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.
