I'm not very experienced with makeup, so this was only the second foundation I'd tried. I found it super easy to use, and was pretty happy with the coverage. I did find it really showed my dry patches, but most foundations I've tried since have

Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation Review

Reviews
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.
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.
I decided to try this foundation both because I had heard good things about it, and because I found it on sale! This review is for the shade “Rose Ivory”.
The Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation comes in a square clear glass bottle with a black plastic lid. The bottle is 30ml. Attached to the lid is a paddle-shaped applicator. The flat-sided applicator allows you to wipe off any excess product onto the side of the bottle’s opening. I like to then apply to the applicator directly onto my face and then blend the foundation out with a beauty sponge. The foundation is easy to blend. The coverage is medium to full, and it gives a slightly dewy finish, which I like. The shade “Rose Ivory” is also a perfect match for my pale skin.
My skin is dry, sensitive, and I have fine lines. The Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation does not irritate my skin. It also does not look cakey, blends well, sits nicely over my moisturise, and it does not sink into my fine lines. I have been setting this with a powder and setting spray after application, but I will still say that it lasts well throughout the day and does not shift, oxidise, or rub off. The only drawback is the smell. The foundation smells very much of chemicals, although it is not noticeable once it is applied.
Altogether I am very satisfied with this foundation. I think it gives the formula from more expensive brands a run for their money I definitely recommend it if you are on the hunt for a cheaper equivalent for more expensive foundation.
After hearing so many great things about this foundation I decided to give it a go. $13 for a foundation is so awesome, but to be honest I didn't have high hopes at first. I don't really love the little applicator wand, I don't use it at all.
It comes in a sturdy glass bottle, I got the lightest shade and find it is not a bad match for my fair skin. I have dry skin and if I don't exfoliate first and prep my skin well it definitely clings to my dry patches.
It is nice and lightweight and does not cake on me, it lasts all day on me and doesn't oxidize at all. It looks pretty good at the end of the day, I really hate having to touch up my foundation during the day so I generally never do this. It does however have an odd paint smell, it doesn't hang around long but I find it unpleasant.
Photo wise it is pretty great, I don't take a lot of pics but on a girls night out I wore this and the pics looked really great! So a definite thumbs up for that. I do really like this foundation but think my skin may be too dry so really need a hydrating foundation. Definitely give it a go and see if it suits your skin.
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.
