Founder's Note

“My goal was to create a foundation that looks and feels like the best version of your skin. Now, we’ve updated the formula with skincare actives to visibly improve bare skin with each wear. It’s the same undetectable, second-skin coverage I love for a more polished look—boosted with built-in skincare.”

FAQ

If we didn't answer your question, contact us.

True Skin Serum Foundation offers medium coverage that you can easily build up by applying more layers.

True Skin Serum Foundation has a natural, skin-like finish. Once it melds with your skin, you won’t know you’re wearing anything. If you prefer a soft-matte finish, you can set it with a Setting Powder!

Our reformulated True Skin Serum Foundation is now boosted with skincare ingredients Niacinamide and Allantoin to help smooth and soothe with every wear. It still delivers the weightless, buildable coverage you know and love.

The existing shades didn’t change, but we added 12 new shades to cater to even more skin tones.

True Skin Serum Foundation is a buildable, medium-coverage foundation with a natural finish. Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 is a tinted serum with light coverage, mineral SPF, and a dewy finish. Both formulas are powered by potent levels of skincare ingredients to visibly improve bare skin over time.

True Skin Serum Foundation is designed for anyone who wants medium coverage that looks like skin. Smoothing Niacinamide and soothing Allantoin have benefits for all skin types.

You can apply it with your fingers, a makeup sponge, or a brush—it’s up to you. We like to apply it with our Complexion Brush or Perfecting Buff Brush for the most seamless application.

Once clean and empty, the bottle is recyclable through most curbside recycling services. Check your local recycling guidelines to be sure. The pump and cap can be recycled for free through our partnership with Pact Collective.

    Truly Amazing

    I am a breast=cancer survivor and my diagnosis made me rethink everything that goes into and on my body. I was SHOCKED by the toxic chemicals pervasive in cosmetics and skin/hair care products. I did my research and found Ilia. I am so impressed with the texture and durability of the True Skin Serum Foundation. I'm 62 and have fine lines and wrinkles and have found that other foundations accentuate these whereas, this foundation doesn't. It's rich, hydrating and the perfect match for my skin color (I took the test.) My skin looks dewy without looking wet and it stays that way all day. I will be buying more when this bottle runs out.

    wow!!

    It's always scary trying a new foundation online, because finding the perfect color match isn't easy. The biggest problem with being so pale is when you find a foundation that looks perfect at first, only for it to oxidize into a horrible orange later in the day. This foundation does not oxidize orange on me! I prefer a more yellow warm undertone in my makeup and I'm very pleased with the longevity, glow, and eveness this gives me. I set it with Saie translucent setting powder, and the color is flawless! (I'm wearing shade Cozumel SF 1.75.) I was worried this would feel greasy and slide off my face or rub off onto clothes, but so far with the setting powder I haven't had any issues. At 31 my skin is starting to show signs of aging, and this foundation literally rewinds the clock. I'm obsessed!

    The Best for a little more coverage

    I wanted something with a little more coverage than Skin Tint. This is perfect. I love the way it feels when it’s applied.

    Never going back!!

    Having tired so many foundations and most are either too expensive from my teacher pay or too cakey and the color not good for all the time my face has. So I don't get an even look.

    Th those days are behind me. Thanks to ilia. I have never been so impressed with a skin care makeup company. Ever this shade is perfect for me. It is buildable when I want it to be like in the middle of the day. I'm not disappointed. I am so excited that I found something that I can get that makes me look probably 5 years younger. Smooth, even and light. Thank you!!!
