Lovely product and great value with the price reduction. Colour match was perfect. Great company to deal with.
I absolutely love this foundation. I went with a lighter shade, 2.25 and it suits my pale, mature skin much better. It lasts all day & is so light on the skin. I'm very happy with my new look.

Hi there...love, love the foundation, stays in place all day and colour match was perfect 👌 However just one little issue, the pump nozzle is not long enough or tall enough. The foundation liquid has not come out of the pump before it is pressed fully down and is on the rim of pump and gets very messy. Its very difficult to get it on your finger or brush but overall love the foundation itself.
Hi Fiona, thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you love the foundation. We appreciate your feedback about the pump nozzle and will look into improving it. Thanks for sharing your experience! We are always available on hello@ayu.ie should you need us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What foundation is best for oily skin?
Choose oil-free, long-wear formulas that control shine without feeling heavy. Perfect Skin Foundation is specially formulated to provide a smooth, long-lasting finish, even for oily skin types.
Are water-based foundations suitable for oily skin?
Yes, water-based foundations are often lighter and less likely to clog pores, making them an excellent choice for oily or combination skin.
How should I apply foundation for oily skin?
Start by prepping your skin with an oil-controlling primer. Apply foundation in thin, even layers, focusing on areas that need coverage. Finish with a light dusting of powder to keep shine under control.
What makes a good coverage foundation?
A good coverage foundation blends seamlessly, evens out skin tone, and lasts throughout the day without feeling heavy. The best choice depends on whether you prefer light, medium, or full coverage.
What is full coverage foundation?
Full coverage foundation is designed to conceal most imperfections, such as redness, uneven tone, and blemishes, while creating a flawless, polished finish.
Do I need full coverage foundation?
Not necessarily. Full coverage is ideal if you want to completely even out your complexion or address specific concerns. For a more natural look, light or medium coverage may be a better option.
How much foundation should I use for full coverage?
A little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and build up in thin layers until you achieve the desired coverage. This approach helps avoid a heavy or cakey finish.
How can I apply full coverage foundation without it looking cakey?
Ensure your skin is well-prepped with moisturiser and primer. Apply foundation in light layers, blending with a damp sponge or brush for a smoother finish. Set lightly with powder to maintain a natural look.
