Avon True Color Ideal Nude Liquid Foundation Product Review

In Spring/Summer 2018, the hottest makeup trend is all about flaunting your natural beauty. Choosing the right foundation is key according to mark by Avon makeup artist, Kelsey Deenihan. “Deenihan suggests going for a medium-coverage formula. It will be just enough to cover redness and imperfections, but won’t make you look overly made up. And it’s even more important to choose a light, breathable formula that won’t feel suffocating on your skin.” (Avon Insider, 2018)

My Pros:

• Little goes a long way
• SPF 20 protection
• Feels like I’m not wearing anything at all
• Minimizes my sweat on my face on hot days
• Helps minimize my skin breaking out in the summer
• Actually has my shade that matches perfectly (have one of those skin shades that some foundations don’t include)

My Cons:

• Doesn’t last all day, by afternoon I have to touch up
• Need to use with primer or pressed powder for all day use
• Can’t build layers
• If accidentally apply to much, takes some work to really blend it all out evenly
• Have to use a sponge to apply (if you don’t have one, definitely need to invest in one for this foundation like I had to)

Reviews:

One of the many benefits of shopping Avon online is that you are able to check out what other customers have to say about a product. Here are what some customers said about Avon True Color Ideal Nude Liquid Foundation:

Tahnia from Virginia: 5/5 Stars

“I wasn’t sure about this foundation when I first tried it, but I continued to use it so see if I would come around, and I did. I love this foundation for the summer. I use it in Medium Beige (NC37 -40 in MAC Studiofix liquid), I use a mattifying primer underneath and then smooth this on with my fingers like I do with moisturizer. The consistency is runny, and I do believe that the best application is with the fingers, but the foundation dries quickly and mattifies upon drying. I top it with the ideal pressed powder in medium beige too, and spritz with a makeup setting spray. Viola! Set for the day. Minimal shine, stays put, and feels very comfortable. Really a perfect light foundation for the summer. The coverage is light to medium. I will apply a second layer to my redder areas, and the coverage will suffice. I LOVE this! Easy Peasy.”

Tracylacy from Philadelphia, PA: 5/5 Stars

“This is the best foundation ever! I’ve tried high end and drug store brands and this is certainly the best. It stays on all day with no shine. I don’t need any powder at all to control shine. There is no shine at all! And it doesn’t transfer on my clothes or leave fingerprints on my paper. It feels like my natural skin and I forget that I have it on. I apply it like lotion and it is so easy to blend. It leaves my skin looking smooth and even toned. I found the perfect color for my skin color and I’ve gotten many compliments since I started wearing this foundation. It is perfect for warm weather and I have no problem wearing this foundation every day. I can’t believe how light it feels on my skin! I got my daughter and coworker to try it and they are now wearing this foundation daily too.”

Sharabear from Tennessee: 1/5 Stars

“I was so excited to try this new foundation! I tested it on my hand first to check the shade, and it seemed to exaggerate the imperfections on it. So I tried again on my wrist, and it took forever to blend it in. Finally I gave it a chance on my face, it was a disaster. It separated on my skin, it exaggerated everything, it condensed on my zits and hair, and it would NOT blend out at all. It was not a winner for me.”

“It’s been so hard over the years to find a foundation that works for me, especially since I have very fair skin. But this is great. It goes well with my skin color, it doesn’t dry out or flake, and it covers well. I would definitely buy this again!”

“I use it instead of BB cream or tinted moisturizer. Does not cover like make up but I don’t mind that. It melts into the skin nicely so it looks very natural. Great product if you are looking for light coverage and natural look.”

My Final Thought

When Avon first released this last year, I decided to give it a try because I was looking for a foundation I could wear in the summertime. As much as I love Avon True Color Flawless Liquid Foundation, which was what I used at the time, I hated the way my skin felt with it on during the hot summer months. Prior to buying the full package I decided to try it out with one of my samples I had. The first day I tried it, my family had a tag sale so I was outside all day and though I wasn’t sweating my butt off, I did notice a big difference on how my skin felt throughout the day. I literally felt like I had nothing on!

I did notice that my normal foundation brush wasn’t the best match for this foundation so when I bought the full size bottle, I also purchased the Avon Pro Flawless Makeup Applicator (it’s a beauty sponge). Boy was I glad I did it because I fell in love with this foundation even more! All summer long I was able to wear this foundation and not feel like I had another layer of skin on top of my face when it got really hot. I don’t know about you but I hate how my skin feels when I am sweating and wearing a thicker foundation. The water based formula definitely made my skin feel even lighter.

What I was most impressed was how much my face actually sweat less when I had this foundation on. This not only made my skin feel amazing but it also helped with minimizing my summer break outs. Normally during the summer time my skin breaks out a lot around my hairline. Last summer I noticed a major difference. I do have to say though that, especially on those really hot days, I did have to either touch up or reapply my foundation. This definitely was not a foundation that lasted a whole 8 hour day. I have seen others suggest using a primer or pressed powder foundation during my research of this product review. Though I have used pressed powder foundation with Ideal Nude Liquid Foundation, I haven’t actually looked to see if this really did work in making my foundation last longer.

I have to admit that when I first saw the product I was a little skeptical in how small it was. I was thinking that I was going to have to buy this product often. I was surprised though to see that this small package actually lasted me the whole summer using it almost everyday. I learned really quickly that a little goes a long way and with using my Avon Pro Flawless Makeup Applicator, it was much easier to blend into my skin & cover all of it.

Through my own experience I would definitely recommend this product to those who are looking for a lightweight foundation, that provides light to medium coverage. This is a great foundation if you are looking to have a more natural look. I would recommend though if you have a lot of blemishes or are looking to cover up anything, the Ideal Nude Cream Concealer works great with the Ideal Nude Liquid Foundation. I personally use both and love how flawless my skin looks every day without feeling like I have a ton of makeup on.
