Despite the dewy appearance in the beginning, it looks amazing on you. Thank you for this in depth review. The dewiness/oiliness looks like it can be controlled with some powder. I like it! You look great!
The white cast doesn't show up on you on my phone. All I can say is that you look absolutely gorgeous. It enhanced your natural beauty. I have this Ilia tint myself & I adore the glow it gives me. I love the all in one skin care, spf & light coverage. I'm very fair but I think it would look lovely on most providing they have a shade that works. I do go thru it kind of fast.
Woah, you guys are right, 12 was definitely the wrong shade lol. There's a nice shade range for this product, but this does highlight the fact that it isn't perfect. I believe her undertone was spot on, but the shade was too light. The next shade up (13, my shade) would have been far too warm for her, it would have looked like a fake tan on her neutral complexion. I think an ideal shade for her would have a similar neutral undertone, but a tad darker, maybe in the 14-15 range.
I’ve gotten a tad lighter, like a half shade under you, so I’m excited to try Kokkini! Thanks for this review. I’ve been waiting for a higher SPF in a “foundation” and I’m pumped about this. 🤍
Hey,Lady Taylor. I see this foundation all the time whenever I go into Sephora,but never bought it because I never saw anyone on UA-cam talk about it until you did. Now ,I'm interested. You look beautiful.
I agree it looked a tiny bit too light (compared to your neck), but not bad. I think more noticeable is it looks more "peachy" or pink than your more neutral/olive undertone. I feel like usually with light coverage/sheer tints they are light enough that your own undertone pulls through and matching doesn't need to be super precise, but maybe the spf ingredients gave it more opacity? Either way, the formula sounds great and the performance was impressive. I might have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
You have such a beautiful personality! I just ordered this! We have a very similar skin tone, I went with shade 13 I have a little more discoloration on my forehead so I hope it doesn’t oxidized too much lol but overal, this foundation looks stunning on you! I can’t wait to try it!
This is my first video of yours. I loved all the info! And you & your makeup look was GORGEOUS! I ordered this foundation yesterday with the sale I'm so excited! ❤
I’m glad you reviewed this I’ve been interested in ILIA for a minute. You should also try the new kosas concealer. Clean beauty brands have been pretty popular for awhile but we’re just now getting clean beauty that’s inclusive so I think we’re just now seeing it be more mainstream. Also, there are chemical sunscreens that don’t harm the coral reefs but they’re only available on Amazon or eBay because they’re Asian brands. They’re great options for us dark skinned girls because they don’t leave a white cast and have better sun protection. The USFDA hasn’t approved an active for sun protection in over 20 years so they’re wayyy behind in that aspect. I use the Biore UV watery essence if you’re in the market for a new sunscreen.
Oily skin actually needs hydration. Your skin produces oil because it is trying to over compensate, if that makes sense. That's why skin oils that you buy are good for you and you should always use moisturizer before bed, dry or oily skin.
Thanks for this review. I think you made the foundation look good, by adding other products, but on it’s own it’s kind of meh...I agree with you about the white cast.
this is exactly what happened to me. if you see my video, I tried 12 initially in the store and it was too light. i ended up choosing 13 but it was orange. the reason why 12 is off because the undertone is wrong. I feel like me and you both have more of a neutral/yellow tone and that's why it didn't work. i hope that ilia comes out with half shades.
Same here! I”m a shade lighter (mixed of Eastern Asian and Southern Islander) than yours but on the same radar on the neutral/yellow undertone. It’s really difficult to find the right shade, it’s either too gray or too orange. I’ve been mixing products just to get the right shade.
I think there is some misinformation about chemical sunscreen about effect coral reefs. However, loving the review of the product! I just bought myself some today! :)
I eat organic I put cream on my body my face and my hair organic and natural but my fondation is not clean at all and teses days my face doesn t bear that anymore so your video is just what I needed
It looks amazing on u, however, I do think u chose the wrong color. U need to go a bit darker, Katie Holmes uses Kokkini and she’s Caucasian. Also, WILL U PLEASE DO A MakeUp tutorial on this look, stunning!
My God, you are so beautiful 😍, that I dont think anything can look bad on ur beautiful skin...im gonna give it a try, thank you and please get some rest so that u can stay ur best always darlin❤
I would pass this n this one only because it’s way too shiny looks greasy and I have an oily t-zone. Maybe would be good in winter when I get dry skin, but definitely not in summer when it’s hot and sweaty!
The Ilia Super Serum was the worst. The shades were off and oxidized dramatically after a minute on. Even the Sephora beauty expert who recommended and tested it on me was surprised. She said she'd report back to the brand. Saddened as I had high hopes for this for the summer. 😔
I really need to find someone who reviewed this foundation who didn't already have perfect skin lolll ...mine is red & blotchy but I hate the feel of heavy foundation; such is life. Glad to see the shade issues so I don't accidentally get too light of a shade :) My face is already 482 shades lighter than the rest of my body from wearing sunscreen on my face but not my body ahahahahahaha
So happy to see a review about this product from a brown girl🙌🏽🙌🏾
Same! It was hard to find!
💯
You look like a doll from a Disney store, with and without makeup😍
Hi Taylor! It looks absolutely INCREDIBLE on you! Thank you so much for this amazing review--we are so glad you are loving it! xx Team ILIA
ILIA Beauty it’s not a foundation though, right?
You pick a beautiful rep!
Despite the dewy appearance in the beginning, it looks amazing on you. Thank you for this in depth review. The dewiness/oiliness looks like it can be controlled with some powder. I like it! You look great!
It can!
I live for the dew so I will leave it as it lol
Your makeup looks beautiful! This foundation looks really natural, too.

I love the dewy look but it makes the foundation look more skin like. This foundation looks really good on you. Thanks for doing this review. ❤️
Thank you love and no problem 😍☺️
This shade actually looks great on you and very natural I love it. I think I’m going to try this serum to go for a no makeup look more too
Gosh you are so beautiful, thank you for the review very helpful! I would love to learn how you did your eyes.
This skin tint looks great on you! We usually wear the same shade in foundation but I picked up shade 15 ~ thank you for reviewing! :)
Agree! I think she has beautiful skin, but the wrong shade color. I'm very light and the experts choose 14.5 for me 🤷🏽♀️
@@monikahouse8419 I have it in 13 and it's perfect for me in the summer, and a bit too dark in the winter.
14.5 is quite dark

@@dewilew2137 your right. I think I went in to Sephora and purchased 13.

LaToya Santos Beauty how did it turn out? Also what’s your perfect match foundation? I’m trying to gauge color.
This is my first video of yours. I loved all the info! And you & your makeup look was GORGEOUS!

You are so beautiful girl!!! You’re beautiful without makeup as well. Absolutely stunning 💕

Great video and if loos so good on you! I love how detailed you are, I also watched your tower 28 review! Looking forward to watching more❤
You are breath taking. Your hair is giving me so much life😍
That's great for a sunscreen, because they are supposed to reapplied, so for it to look that good after hours without reapplication is great!
Wow, this looks so beautiful on you! Loved the review. Have to try it!
Great reviews!! How do you keep your smile lines at bay.

Your skin looks flawless with this foundation!
What is your lip liner and lip color...gorgeous! Loved your review. I just bought the foundation and really love it so far.
what other products did you apply for the complete look? i loved how it all came out together
Your face looked amazing after. I have the Laura nervier finishing powder and have no clue how to use it in the ways you did.
You are so gorgeous! Thank you for the review, natural beauty!
It looks amazing on you (even after 6-8 hrs)! How can this be a skin tint?
You’re so gorgeous!!! Love this review, thanks for your honest opinion!
T, how do you feel about the makeup hack of moisturizer, setting powder than foundation?
You’re very pretty! Love your hair ♡
I think there is some misinformation about chemical sunscreen about effect coral reefs. However, loving the review of the product! I just bought myself some today! :)
That niacinamide controls oil. I’m super oily and it’s my favorite. I look dewy not oily thanks to sebum control! 💛
How do you make it look super dewy? I used powder but in the sun the powder made it look ashy.
I was hoping for a video from you...Thank You💙
Yay!! Makes me so happy 🥰
@@TaylorAnise 😄💖😄💖
The foundation wears very nicely on you! You are beautiful!!
Great review!
I eat organic I put cream on my body my face and my hair organic and natural but my fondation is not clean at all and teses days my face doesn t bear that anymore so your video is just what I needed

New sunnier here. Thanks for the review I’m really interested in this foundation I’ll probably buy it online today.

I just tried it. I’m level 8 in this foundation. It’s really forgiving and i used concealer on my sun spots on my cheeks
GREAT VIDEO!! Also, love the way you do your lips😍😍
Thank you for the review. I'm from Memphis too 🤙🏾
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful!
It looks amazing on u, however,
I do think u chose the wrong color. U need to go a bit darker, Katie Holmes uses Kokkini and she’s Caucasian. Also, WILL U PLEASE DO A MakeUp tutorial on this look, stunning!
Please list the eyeshadow, bronzer, and other makeup you are wearing.
@TaylorAnise can you post a video on the ilia skin tint for shade 12.75 in papakolea?
Wow your skin is gorgeous
Your skin looks great and you are beautiful!
You are stunning 🤩 this base and eye 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 what did you use pls 🙏🏼
Absolutely FLAWWWWLESSS!!🥰💕 What’s the Bronzer you used to warm it up❓
I may have to try this!!! Thanks for posting
Hey Taylor, Your skin looks stunning! No foundation look at all! Which powder did you use?
Laura Mercier
Thank you. What MAC shade of foundation do you wear for reference?
bella I saw on another video where she said NC44/45
@@adabekeethefirst8705 Thank you.

Thank you!
Looks great on you
This looks amazing don’t see a white cast at all it’s giving skin
Sheesh. Thanks for the review. It looks gorgeous.
Great review! Great quote "A candle loses no light when lighting others." (-;
I lovvvvve your hair☺️❤️
Kokkini matches me perfectly, I’m scared to see what it will oxidize into.
So pretty!!!
I would pass this n this one only because it’s way too shiny looks greasy and I have an oily t-zone. Maybe would be good in winter when I get dry skin, but definitely not in summer when it’s hot and sweaty!
I like no bull shit review like this. Thank you !!!! New subbie!
what brush did you use to put on concealer?
really pretty
I love this product
Just a tad bit light but it can work.
What is oxidizing
Thank you! I don’t think this will be a good choice for me.
I went in person but we couldn’t swatch bc covid I had such a hard time picking my color 😵
You are absolutely gorgeous and the Ilia looks beautiful on you !!
Beautiful!
How mach place
Omg you’re so beautiful 😯♥️
You are a natural beauty honey
Taylor is so beautiful.
Black girl with oily skin ...I can confirm it works for usss
The treatments will balance your skin out. It’s a serum over a foundation.
I thought the shade enhanced yourskin tone
Nope this foundation has , Formaldehyde, and Imidazolidinyl urea I was going to try but .. nooooo
my name is ilia...
The Ilia Super Serum was the worst. The shades were off and oxidized dramatically after a minute on. Even the Sephora beauty expert who recommended and tested it on me was surprised. She said she'd report back to the brand. Saddened as I had high hopes for this for the summer. 😔
Honestly your face looks beautiful but you don't need much makeup.
AYYYY im from Memphis
Wow she is so beautiful. #blackgirlbeauty💫✊🏾✨
I think the foundation wouldn’t look so cast like if you dragged it down to your neck.
Wrong shade most likely
I really need to find someone who reviewed this foundation who didn't already have perfect skin lolll ...mine is red & blotchy but I hate the feel of heavy foundation; such is life.
Glad to see the shade issues so I don't accidentally get too light of a shade :) My face is already 482 shades lighter than the rest of my body from wearing sunscreen on my face but not my body ahahahahahaha
Katie Holmes has ur skin type and she loves it. Check out her recent fave videos
First view ❤
Too light for your skin 😮
