Loreal Visible Lift Serum Absolute Foundation Review

I've been using this product for awhile so here is my review finally!  I currently own the shade:  Sun Beige #154.  I got this for $12 at Target.  I've finally found a foundation shade that really is a close match to my yellow undertoned skin!  Thank you L'Oreal for having a variety of shades that aren't just pink undertoned!  This is an advanced age reversing product that contains pro-retinol A + Vitamin C.  It obviously is supposed to 'lift' your skin, but I haven't seen a dramatic change in my skin.  I would say this foundation has a medium to full coverage.  It has about the same coverage as the Revlon Colorstay, in my opinion which is why I like it, and it feels a lot lighter than Colorstay.  The only downside to this almost perfect foundation is that it slips off my skin a little, but with a powder it doesn't slip as much.  When you look inside the bottle, you can see little shimmers in the formula, but it really doesn't even show up when applied so there's nothing to be worried about when you see them.  This is a pretty good foundation for now, but I can already tell you I'll still be on the lookout a drugstore oil control holy grail foundation.  Let me know if you know of any!

Pros:

  • Nice range of shades for yellow, pink, and neutral under tones.
  • Doesn't look cakey when applied more than once
  • Medium to Full Coverage
  • Feels light on skin
  • SPF 17
Cons:
  • Poor oil control
Final Verdict:  I would recommend this foundation for normal/ dry skin.  But if you have oily skin and still want to try it, make sure you use a powder.  With a powder, it keeps my shine at bay for about 4-5 hours.  Other than that, it's a great foundation  It has medium to full coverage, which is great for people with acne like myself.  It doesn't even look cakey if you apply more than one coat or if you apply a powder!  Feel free to watch my video review down below!
