NATASHA DENONA

 HY-GLAM Foundation

I am very hard to match. I chose Y12. It is a perfect skin match! It's so hard as a caramel skin girl to find foundation that doesn't have red or orange in it. I don't want corrector in my foundation, no thank you. Natasha Denona has done something I've been waiting for companies to do which is to create skin tone foundation shades for brown skin, not orange or red. All these companies are reformulating their foundations and completely messing up their color range or creating the same shades with varying degrees of orange, red or green undertones. Please don't change the shades. I have combo/oily skin and I live in Las Vegas and it gets hot. I pat with a little bit of powder. I haven't used a primer with it yet so I imagine it will last even longer. The longest I've worn it is about 10 hours. My skin is fairly clear so for me it's pretty full coverage but it might be medium coverage if you have skin issues that usually require corrector. I use the shade matcher and narrowed it down to Y12, YP11 and NY12 but NY12 looked too olive toned and YP11 looked too bright. Watched a lot of videos and it paid off. A little goes a long way.

The foundation left a beautiful flawless finish. However, in 1 to 2 hours my fine lines starts popped out, pores appear larger. I tried different ways applying and using setting spray but it didn't work. I have not experienced anything like this on a foundation.

I was so excited for this. But it never dries down. How can it be long wear yet never dries down? It also looks cakey and accentuates my forehead lines which are barely there to begin with. I'm not sure what everyone is on about with this. It rubs off major areas like the nose and chin. It doesn't even have enough coverage to be so cakey. Hy Glam how? Where is the glam? I keep trying it and I can get it to last a bit longer with setting spray, but I shouldn't have to do that. And yes, I'm a big skincare girly, my skin is PREPPED. I feel bad for anyone who thinks this is a good foundation. I don't see it working for anyone. The matching concealer doesn't dry down either.

I initially purchased $1000 of ND through the ND website. Using her shade matching tools, I purchased a foundation shade that was recommended to me but felt uneasy about the shade match. If you buy products directly from the website and they don't work you're stuck. So, I reached our to customer service to ensure the shade would be the best match. There is no phone number- everything is through email. A day later I received a response requesting that I upload a photo. I responded immediately. Another day goes by and the reply was to "cancel" the order. No recommendation on shade matching at all. Because of their delays in the back and forth, I also missed out on the best sale price. The person responded by saying they would send my request to the "proper team" for a shade match. Total incompetence. There's nothing worse than customer service patronizing your concerns while addressing nothing. This might be the best foundation you've ever tried, but you're not going to want to wear it or recommend it to others if you had an experience like I did! I will now only ever purchase from reputable stores because the ND customer service reps are truly horrible!

Its okay -Good coverage but I did notice it clinged on dry acne spots - serum like which can be good, but i dont want a skin tint i want a FOUNDATION.. not sure why every makeup brand needs to add skincare to it but here we are - emphasizes pores and it did move around with wrinkles - not texas heat friendly
