My Honest Review of the Reformulated Fenty Beauty Foundation I've been using Fenty Beauty foundation for almost 7–8 years, and before Fenty, I was never someone who repurchased the same foundation. I would try something, move on, and never really find one I truly loved. Then I found Fenty, and ever...ything changed. I finally found a foundation that gave me the coverage I wanted while making my skin look incredibly smooth and natural. I constantly received compliments, not just on my makeup, but on how good my skin looked. When I found out Fenty had reformulated the foundation, I wasn't initially concerned. I had loved the original formula for years, so I trusted that the new version would still deliver. I even loved the new packaging because it looked more high-end. After using the reformulated foundation for about a month and a half, I honestly can't decide whether I like it or hate it. What I can say is that I miss the original formula. Initially, I like how the new foundation looks. It gives me that smooth, natural finish I love. But as the day goes on, the wear time is nowhere near what it used to be, and that's my biggest disappointment. I'm a bartender, so I need my makeup to last through long, busy shifts. With the original formula, my friends would constantly ask me, "Dang, how does your makeup still look like you just did it?" That was how well it held up. Now, after just a few hours, my foundation is already breaking down and wearing off my face. The coverage also feels completely different to me. The original gave me the full coverage I fell in love with, whereas the new formula feels much closer to light-to-medium coverage on my skin. And honestly, that's so disappointing. I don't want to find another foundation. After almost eight years, I finally found my holy grail, and I never expected to have to start searching all over again. Since the reformulation is still relatively new, I'm going to continue using it and give it a fair chance. I genuinely hope Fenty listens to the feedback customers are leaving and considers bringing back what made the original formula so special. I know everyone's skin is different, and some people may absolutely love the new version. But as someone who has used and loved the original for almost eight years, I can confidently say that, for me, the new formula just doesn't compare. I miss my OG Fenty foundation. It wasn't just another foundation to me. It was the one I could count on, and I really hope Fenty takes longtime customers' feedback into consideration.
