Id say that the size, which contains 30 ml of foundation, is standard for a foundation bottle.

It can easily fit inside most makeup bags, and its small enough to store in your makeup drawer.

But before I spill everything about my experience, lets break down the formula.

A little tip: see to it that youre using a water-basedprimeror amoisturizer, otherwise the product might separate.

It also features optically corrective powders, aimed to blur fine lines, redness, and blemishes.

I found that, upon system, the Il Makiage foundation feels incredibly weightless and non-cakey.

Il Makiage foundation review:before and immediately after

Seriously, not the slightest sign of caking whatsoever.

To be completely honest, going into this review I was a teeny bit skeptical about the matte finish.

But against all odds, I was impressed.

If anything, it genuinely has that your-skin-but-better effect.

The foundation match quiz then gets you to select pictures of your nearest skin tone.

After all that (phew), the color match quiz finally shows you the perfect shade to purchase.

Il Makiage foundation review:Makeup immediately after and 15 hours later

I told you it was thorough.

To be honest, my initial reaction was also Ugh, seriously?

This issounnecessary; just let me eyeball it!

Not to worry, it actually only took a couple of minutes (if even).

Considering that the quiz only took a fraction of my time, the final result was so worth it.

So rest assured, theres definitely one that fits you.

Right off the bat, the system was supersmooth and even and streak-free.

Mycream blushandbronzermelted right in, resulting in a seamless blend.

The only complaint I had?
