NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Can't Stop Won't Stop Foundation, 24h Full Coverage Matte Finish - True Beige

The softest makeup brush I've ever used. This one brush, which I've seen so much hype on, completely changed my makeup look. My previous brushes left a lot of streaks and no matter how much I tried to ignore it, it really did hurt my face using it. But this brush is soooo soft I always look forward to applying my foundation because of it. No streaks, no patchiness, and no poking! Its for sure worth the money and you wont regret giving it a chance! Very sturdy also, its made of great high quality material 👌

Tip to prolong use of this product at the end of this review. I've purchased this NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Full Coverage Foundation many times. I have fair skin and find that the shade Alabaster works well for me as it isn't too dark or orange but also doesn't white wash me out either. I find that in some cosmetic brands the lightest foundation is still a bit too dark for me or just not the right shade. I believe this brand offers a few good options for fair-skinned people, it may just take some testing to find the best one. I like that this foundation is vegan and cruelty-free. I also like that there isn't any strong scent with it because I don't like using cosmetics that have much smell to them. This foundation offers good coverage and is buildable. I apply it with a damp real techniques foundation sponge by tapping it into my skin and it applies very evenly, easily and quickly like that. I wear it on top of a lightweight SPF moisturizer (Eucerin) and a primer (ELF luminous putty primer) and it works well over those. I then set with a powder (ELF halo glow). I don't find the finish of this foundation to be too matte/drying, but not greasy either. It feels comfortable over my moisturizer and primer and doesn't ever feel too built up. TIP: When you use up most of it and not much or nothing comes out of the pump anymore, you can still get several uses out of the bottle if you just twist the lid so that it is no longer aligned with the bottle (you can do this with lid on or off) and then pretty much just force it off by pulling/bending the top and the bottle away from each other until it pops off. If this is too hard to do by hand you can also use pliers or something, but I've been able to do it by hand. Just be careful and maybe do it in your sink so if it pops off suddenly you don't get makeup flinging anywhere. I've gotten used to doing it in a way where that isn't a problem but until you've done it a few times. I then just turn the bottle upside down and shake the product down onto my finger (or whatever you want to pour it on) and apply, then repeat as much as needed. NOTE: I recommend popping the lid back on for storage so that the makeup doesn't dry out inside between uses and you get all you can out of it. To me it isn't difficult to remove every time until it's gone.

This foundation turned out to be a lucky mistake, because, although it was not the right color for me, it’s perfect for my daughter, and she loves it. I wanted to get as close to Estée Lauder Double WeR in 3W1 Tawny as possible. “Buff” looked like a pretty good match online, but when I got the bottle I could see right away that it was too light. I tried it on my face and I was very impressed with the liquid-to-power texture, the buildable coverage, and the attractive finish. It’s more sheer than what I wanted, but it is definitely a gentle, natural-matte, and if the shade had suited me I may have called it a win set. I was looking for an everyday, less-costly alternate for my most favorite foundation, Estée Lauder Double Wear. I have been looking for this illusive “alternate” for over a decade. Sadly, nothing ever came close, and I have spent more money on primers and powders to make the cheap foundations wearable, than I spend on just using my Double Wear everyday! This foundation looks beautiful on my daughter. It covers pores and acne beautifully, it doesn’t oxidize, and it truly does last throughout the day. I wish this foundation had been available when I was young, because it has good ingredients and it’s not clay-like, the way old matte foundations were.

Warning this sets quickly, so you must be fast when applying/blending it. I got the light porcelain and it is beautiful on my pale pink skin. The coverage is buildable. It is a very good price for such a generous amount. The texture is creamy and it is easy to apply. It doesn't settle into my lines either. I am very pleased.

I’ve bought every single type of foundation from cheap to expensive. I decided I’m most happy with the NYX products for me. Does not leave any kind of a residue on my face. The texture was perfect for my skin type. It covered fine lines well without leaving crease marks. Will buy again

I used to use Revlon Colorstay foundation for years, but I feel like the coverage isn't as good as it used to be...so I was trying this as a new regular everyday foundation that was long-wear. The first experience using it was actually really good...it does seem to have better coverage and I feel like it does last a long time. However, that's until you use maybe 3/4 of the bottle. Then, you can no longer get product out! For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get the lid with the squeeze top off to get into the bottle. I kid you not - I had to google it and watch YouTube videos. Let's be honest, should there be a NEED for YouTube videos on getting the top of a brand of makeup? Clearly I'm not the only one who had the issue, because there were several videos about it. So here's what to expect. You'll need to use something like a strong metal butterknife to wedge the top off. It will fly off and a piece of the top will break and you will fling foundation onto the wall of your bathroom. The crazy part is that it's not like this effort is just to reward yourself with the last scrape of makeup left in the bottle. I continued to use it for WEEKS like this, where I dip the top (which has a tube sticking down) into the liquid in the bottle and get it out. So shame on NYX. Either they have terrible testing and design of their packages, or they want you to waste at least a 1/4 of the bottle thinking it's done and hope you throw it away and buy a new one. Either way - pretty poor for a decent quality brand. If you're going to buy this, be warned!

I’ve been buying the product from Amazon for a few years and still have the same problem the pump stops working after a while. I’ve purchased it from Shoppers Drug Mart and have the same problem but great coverage

Bought this shade by looking at different online swatches, and I’m so so happy it was a perfect match for my light-medium olive skin tone without being too pink or yellowish! For reference I’m ard NC20-25 : ) Regarding the coverage I wouldn’t say this is a full coverage foundation, but it has a decent medium+ coverage on my super oily skin, leaving a beautiful and natural finish without being cakey like wearing a mask. It’s cruelty free too! It’s not completely transfer proof, but most of the foundation is still intact at the end of the day. I lightly applied setting powder on top of the foundation, and only slightly blotted my face late afternoon. This may not work for very dry skin ladies, but it’s a decent drugstore foundation for oily ladies. I would say it feels like wearing a lighter coverage version of Estes Lauder double wear stay in place.

Best foundation brush I've tried from a drugstore brand by FAR.

Easy bendable, very soft brush with great quality

I bought the Medium Olive and received it yesterday. It was the nearest to my own skin color that I could see on the chart, but it is actually a shade too light. I put it on with the correct flat Foundation Brush. The foundation went on SO flawlessly with no streaking, It feels like I am not wearing any makeup at all, and it has good coverage! I love the fact that it is cruelty-free and as natural as possible. UPDATE : After I wore it for a few hours... I have never had this happen with a foundation before, but the skin around my mouth began peeling off! I had to clean off this foundation to get the peeling off. I then did a facial to restore my skin back to flawless again...with my own aromatic non-toxic Biblical skincare products, which I created and have used for decades! NOTE #1: I tried the foundation again the next day, using only a very small amount, just to see if this would happen again. Unfortunately it did. Very disappointing. NOTE #2: FYI ..I have worn just about every kind of foundation without reaction..thick Stage makeup for live Performances; all the "El Cheapos" from the age of 10; Paris makeup for a famous mega French company I trained with & worked for decades ago etc. NOTE #3: This is only MY experience with a foundation, so that is what I am stating here. If it works well for others that is good. NOTE #4 : FYI I am a professional Aromatics Compounder for Biblical Healing Skincare and Perfumes. NOTE #5: To the company NYX...this Foundation is basically SYNTHETIC, with a few products included to make it "vegan", which simply means that it does not contain animal products. Please consider reformulating this product to make it Natural and Safe for all women. Thank you for your consideration in this matter!
