Better than expected!

I've been looking for a new inexpensive foundation that I could use interchangeably with my other foundations, I kept seeing this mentioned on one of my favourite YouTubers, Tati's channel and I thought that I would give it a go.

Unfortunately, Farmers were sold out of my shade ($13.99 in stores) but I managed to find it on an international site called Beauty Bay for $11AUD (so approx. the same).

I really like this product, I wasn't expecting much for the price but I'm really taken by how easily it blended and how buildable it was.

The downfall for me was that it's not as full coverage as I would like (in one application), however, you can build it up pretty nicely, I also didn't like the weird stick applicator thing.

As a followup to this, I've been using it every day for the last week and I really love it—it's a really lovely every day, not too cakey foundation—I'll definitely be repurchasing it!

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.

Jeffrey Star Approved & Wallet Approved

When I saw Jeffrey Star review this, I knew I had to try it & I was so glad I did! Value for money, amazing product that holds its own against higher end foundations boasting the same results. Holds up well on my oily skin, even in the summer heat!

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.

Favorite drugstore foundation

My skin is naturally Oily and this stuff helps keep the oil at bay. I do have to apply powder after a few hours but who cares still looks good lol.

This foundation is Medium coverage but you are able to put more on to give it a fuller look. The shade range is pretty good too eve,n if you have to mix two different colors you aren't breaking the bank since they're so affordable.

Pretty good

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

Great everyday foundation

This is my go-to every day foundation. It is not super long wearing but gives the perfect natural - medium and buildable coverage I like for my work day. Its SUPER affordable and each bottle last a few months. The Dewy version is my favourite as it and makes my skin look soft and hydrated.

Tips: Apply with a damn sponge for a natural skin like look. Would not recommend as a 'going out' foundation on its own as it will not last too long if your sweating etc. However add power and a primer and you'll be good!

Budget dupe for expensive foundations.

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.

Wet N Wild Foundation Review

Whilst doing makeup for a musical production, this foundation was an absolute diamond in the rough with the other products they had available to us. It is thin, yet quite full coverage, and very easy to work with. I found that it worked well on many different skin types and didn't bring out any texture and the colour was very versatile, not too orange, etc. It stayed on well and looked nice under stage lights, and doesn't set fast while you are still working with it. I can easily recommend this to anyone looking for a foundation that can be used in an array of different situations.

Tips: Set with press powder for a matte look, but using without press powder leaves the look dewy and still doesn't transfer too much!

Affordable foundation

This is a great foundation. It provides medium coverage. It blends well and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The claims are true, it doesn't give you that flash back when you take photos, so I will always reach for this one if I know I'll be taking photos or going out in the evening to an event where there might be flash photography. The only thing that I don't like about this foundation is that it does smell like paint and it definitely bothered me at first but once you blend it into your skin the smell goes away. So that's just something to be aware of!
