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.”
— Sasha

I like Ilia products the ingredient list is long, transparent and doesnt ever seem to irritate my sensitive skin. This goes on very smooth/silky but it's super thin. It does not cover my redness even with 2 (or 3 layers) the sample I received of the concealer did better but not to a degree I could switch over all the time. I am a true neutral and to call Tavarua SF2 neutral is a bit baffling. It's very golden. It doesn't oxidise, it just starts off that way. Because it's so sheer I wont waste it, just use it on days that I want barely there coverage and try to blend into my neck as much as possible... I guess? In the photo I do have concealer on some problem areas (which you can still see..) It isn't cakey at all and doesn't settle too badly into lines. I just had higher hopes based on my experience with other Ilia products.
- Leisha H.ReviewingTrue Skin Serum FoundationI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars10/16/24Truly 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.

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!

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

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!!!
