Thank you for reviewing this! I've been looking for better reviews on this. Most have been people within the clean beauty scene. I needed to see it in on someone with my skin tone.
Interesting, I am that woman who doesn’t like/do the makeup makeup look. I literally just use a little concealer to do pinpoint on my face and my normal under-eye concealing. So something like this would work if it wasn’t so dewy, when you’re oily all that dew doesn’t do it 🤷🏽♀️ maybe if they come out with a serum that dries down more natural finish to matte then I’ll grab it. Great review!
Love the review! I recently bought this in color 17 in Sephora. An associate matched me but when I got home I thought it was a bit too dark for me. Also, ladies please check the bottom of the box this product comes in. My skin tint had expiration date 12/2021 on it and I bought it May 2022. Needless to say, I returned it.

Thanks for this review. I appreciate the fact that you mentioned your thoughts on how to reapply as well as which to buy. I’ll be picking this up on Monday☺️
Yes I probably will just to try it out.. I like in the UK so we don’t always get access to this type of product especially for woc.. if I don’t like it at least I tried it 😊
Thank you for the video and the swatches. It's so challenging to get accurate swatches, especially on deep skintones. .I think this would be great if placed on top of your favorite SPF. For example, your all time fav mineral SPF has a cast, but you love everything else about it, it doesn't break you out, right formula for your skin type, etc. This could be used as a light layer over SPF to shade correct if you didn't want to wear foundation.
I think this tinted spf serum will work for me because I m not a make up wearing person. I normally only wear bb creams and I like Iman because it's super light
I love your regular jokes about white water rafting! We actually do that stuff quite often out west! If you want to come out to Utah, I would be happy to bring more people of color to the great outdoors! The perfect sunscreen for all my active outdoor life would be a mineral sunscreen that doesn't break me out, is water resistant, feels light-weight, is SPF 50+, and doesn't leave a white cast. I don't think that perfect sunscreen exists out there, some of those features contradict each other, lol so I agree with you that most people need more than one sunscreen in their stash.
Hiiii!! Loveee your makeup!! I like the glowy look and I am farrr a makeup girl but lately I been wanted to get into this Ilia Tint. Do you happen to have a video on your current makeup in this video? My skin is extremely dry and i like glowww ☺️
I'm here early!!! I said this comment on another vid, I wish Ilia worked for me - I wanted it so bad as a summer less layers solution. I tried 2 colors. The minute they hit my skin, oddly, they oxidized, you could *see* the chemical reaction. It could have been a fluke, though? 🤔
hey, boo!!!! morning!!! So I don't think I'd call it a fluke. The brand definitely warns that the color will look lighter upon application but will deepen 30-60 seconds after. I did a Q&A with a cosmetic chemist on my blog that can help explain what happens with oxidation though: tsabd.com/oxidation_explained. The water content in the Ilia foundation could be causing it to look darker as it "dries down."
@@styleandbeautydoctor this is helpful! The Sephora rep swatched it on me and damn near threw dropper when she saw the reaction 💀 Ok, let me check out the blog and I'll give it another go!
In a previous clip, you wanted suggestions on how people overcame hyperpigmentation. I can’t find your email address. Could you please post it? I have a success story.
@@kaylynn8530 yay!!! Yes please email me at: thestyleandbeautydoctor@gmail.com. Tell me in like 1-3 sentences about how you faded your hyperpigmentation along with clear photos of your skin before and after (in the same position-so if you had hyperpigmentation on your right cheek, have the after shot show your cleared right cheek). And please make sure the photos are the largest size. Some people send over teeny tiny photos that I can’t use for video and thumbnail. Thank you so much!!!
Do you think if you mix it with your normal spf it would change the color? I use Elta MD clear which is actually white out the bottle. I'm thinking to get 1 shade darker and mix it with the spf
Hey! As I mentioned in the video, be careful mixing anything INTO your sunscreen as it can degrade the spf protection. You can layer products ON TOP of your sunscreen after you’ve given the sunscreen 10-15 mins to form a protective layer. Check out 4:21 on this video: ua-cam.com/video/XULpx1jaREo/v-deo.html
I’m light medium, bought the shade Bom Bom. I do like it, however, it really looks best on me when applied to clean, dry skin, with no other products underneath it. If I put on enough to give me the SPF of 40, it looks like too much. If I put it on over sunscreen, it just doesn’t perform well, seems to settle into lines and pores. So, I bought the Ilia Beyond C, also SPF 40, thinking I could layer them and it would be enough SPF….but the two together is very, very glowy, so powder is necessary. I can get it to look nice, but in the end, just too much work. Currently looking for an oil free mineral sunscreen that will work under the Serum.
I know you don’t like it when we ask this question lollll but I checked the blog and could not find. Unless I didn’t check hard enough. Have you tried Josie Maron whipped argon oil spf 45 body butter? Sounds tempting, curious to know your thoughts If you’ve tried.
Was that the Cars Shake It Up I heard in there? I think this is a no for me. The most I could see is adding a few drops of it to a different sunscreen that may have a cast
I know you said it's not a good idea to mix sunscreen products with other products, but I think it should be ok to mix 2 mineral sunscreens right? I ask because I feel like this might be a good sunscreen to mix with other mineral sunscreens that leave a white cast. That way you can wear any good mineral sunscreen you want to wear and just add in a little of this sunscreen so there's no white cast. What do you think?
I personally would put this on top of your sunscreen-so apply your sunscreen like usual and then apply this on top like makeup. There is a study where they added a Dermablend pigment product to mineral sunscreens (see more here: ua-cam.com/video/f1VieDwk4Vo/v-deo.html) but I’m not sure if it’s okay to add any pigment product which is why I say apply it on top to be safe. I do think I saw a video on Dr Alexis Stephens’s channel on this Ilia product-maybe she has more insight on whether you can mix it in or not.
I thought that if you put on serums like hyaluronic acid and niacenemide you need sunscreen to combat the photosensitive it causes. So how does it work if those two actives are in the sunscreen? Would it cause you to become even more sensitive? Btw I love ur look. Your really beautiful.
So I'm new to your channel and I don't actually wear make-up (can't even do lipstick anymore) so I'm looking for just sunscreen for melanated skin and I also have very sensitive skin. Can you do a video one those options?
Thank you for your review ! I thought it was a tinted sunscreen but in the end it’s a foundation with spf in it, which is not what I’m looking for, I need a real sunscreen which will protect me
I wouldn’t categorize this with the foundations with SPF. Those usually only have SPF 8 or 15. This one has a higher SPF of 40 as long as you use enough. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
@@patatina069yw! I would still put sunscreen on underneath because you’re not very likely to put foundation (or even tinted sunscreen) on places like your ears and your neck. Some people do it but that just sounds messy to me lol. ❤️❤️
That’s not the intended purpose of the product. You have to be careful with mixing into sunscreen as it can degrade the spf protection. Check out 4:21 on this video: ua-cam.com/video/XULpx1jaREo/v-deo.html
I haven’t noticed that when testing it, but it depends on the texture of your morning skincare products. If you notice pilling with products, give each one time to “settle” before adding the next one.
I had to dig to find this video. Ilia beauty needs to do better of having Black people talking about their products. I want to hear from someone with my skin tone.
You are getting prettier and aging backwards. Your makeup is perfect. I love the top knot. Kenya better watch her back, lol.
lmaooooo thank youuuuu!
Isn’t she gorgeous
yes!!
Drop dead gorg!
Hhhhhh you are right on this one

Yes I probably will just to try it out.. I like in the UK so we don’t always get access to this type of product especially for woc.. if I don’t like it at least I tried it 😊
Thank you for this review especially in oily skin. Your hair game stay slaying us. I love that caged top bun.
Thank you!!! 😘😘😘
Your makeup is flawless🖤🖤🖤
Thank you!!!
I bought this stuff based on Dr. Stephen’s recommendation. This stuff made me look as though I was wearing Crisco mixed with paint.
Did you set it with powder?

Happy Sunday! Thanks for reviewing! The darker shades in my range are all “neutral.” 😭That tends to make me look crazy.
Ughhhhh!
And happy Sunday, boo 😘😘😘

Haha! I’m definitely gonna hit you up if I ever make it out to Utah!
The shades are really good. I'm somewhat intrigued. This would be nice to wear to the office when I don't feel like putting on a face.
I tried it but I will have to try it without applying Jojoba oil prior to ILIA. I think the three, sun, ILIA and Jojoba make my face itch in places.
Thank you for the wonderful video. I have a question please. Do you wear sunscreen all year round ?
Yes, all year round!
she is the truth

I bought this product twice! Love it because I don’t wear a lot of makeup.
Love this review! So thorough. Struggling with finding my shade in the UK. Do you know your Mac shade?
I haven’t worn MAC in yeaaaars. I was an NW45/47 but they’ve added shades over the years so who knows.
This would be perfect for me. I have normal to dry skin. I rarely beat my face. I will purchase it during the Sephora sale.

Hi, have you tried the Eleven By Venus Williams sunscreen??
I love wearing it with matte foundation . I didn’t care for it by itself.
Ohhh I bet that looks amazing!
What ratio did you use to mix the two products.
Do you think if you mix it with your normal spf it would change the color? I use Elta MD clear which is actually white out the bottle. I'm thinking to get 1 shade darker and mix it with the spf
