I absolutely love this foundation.
I used the online shade match and it was perfect (#1 for my pale Irish skin).
This foundation blends like a dream, lasts all day and simply makes my skin look like my skin but flawlessly.

I didnt think I would find a replacement for my HausLabs foundation but I have and the fact that this is an Irish company is icing on the cake.

Highly recommend.

Hi AC, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you love the foundation and that it’s become your go-to. Supporting Irish brands is something we’re very proud of, and we're delighted it works so well for you. Thanks for recommending us!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply light foundation? +

Begin with clean, moisturised skin and use a primer suited to your skin type. Apply a small amount of foundation to the centre of your face, blending outwards with a brush, sponge, or your fingertips for a seamless and natural finish.

How can I tell if my foundation is too light? +

If your foundation makes your complexion appear washed out or leaves a visible line along your jawline, it’s likely too light. Always test shades in natural daylight and match the colour to your neck for the most natural result.

What is light coverage foundation? +

Light coverage foundation provides a sheer finish that evens out skin tone while allowing freckles, natural texture, and minor imperfections to show through. It’s perfect for achieving a fresh, “no-makeup” look.

What is the best light coverage foundation? +

The best light coverage foundation is one that blends effortlessly, feels weightless, and suits your skin type. Fresh Skin Foundation is specially formulated to deliver breathable coverage with a smooth, natural finish.

What’s the difference between light and full coverage foundation? +

Light coverage foundation offers a sheer, natural look, while full coverage is designed to conceal more prominent imperfections and create a flawless base. Light coverage feels lighter on the skin and maintains a more skin-like appearance.

Is hydrating foundation suitable for oily skin? +

Yes, but it’s important to choose an oil-free hydrating formula. This will keep your skin comfortable without adding excess shine, especially when used with a mattifying primer and setting powder.

What is hydrating foundation? +

A hydrating foundation is enriched with moisture-boosting ingredients to keep your skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable throughout the day. It’s particularly beneficial for normal to dry skin types.
