  • I have really dry skin... So I wonder if this dry your skin out or not? Is it oily? Or is it dry?

  • 135 is acctually the lightest but its more yellow based and the 120 is more pink based =]

  • So overall illamasqua- really good?

  • what is that stumpy brush with white bristles? very helpful, loving the eyes.x

  • Thanks so much! I found this really useful! x

  • I got the foundation, I like the color, I like the coverage and finish. But it seems to settle into fine lines and also seems to make it look like you have flaking skin in places. I did try it with a primer I have, but maybe I should use the satin primer. Is there something I can do to avoid it settling into fine lines around the eye?

  • i want ur effing eyes, theyr sooo big and pretty!

  • Your eyes are AMAZING!

  • you seem so lovely

    new subscriber :)

  • so would it be good for like...prom or homecoming?

  • I EFFING LOVE YOU!! Have you tried the Skin Base? & how does it compare? xxxx

  • The Illamasqua brush used for Rich Liquid is the highlighter brush btw.

  • your eyeshadow looks perfect. what is it?

  • I would be 105 8D

  • I love ur make up ;) and beautiful eyes :)

  • @Mogftw I mean face-wise. Because both of their faces are so beat.

  • @jrmetmoi beat? what do you mean by that

  • @Gothgirl4370 It means good makeup job and usually with lots of it on.

  • I AM A MAC NC45 DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT MY SHADE NUMBER WOULD BE FOR THIS FOUNDATION ?

  • love your makeup ... thanks !!

  • best liquid foundation ive ever used

  • @dla3z

    My skin is slightly dry, would it still work well?

    Also does any body know what colour I should get if im nc 20/25

    Thanks in advance :)

  • @nurulaynMahsa my skin is like dry too and it totally works. try the MAC strobe cream and put on the illamasqua liquid foundation right after that. well i'm not sure about the colour but i use RF200 its not too white and not too dark either, but believe me its the most flawless liquid foundation you'll ever have :D

  • @dla3z

    Such a star, thanks for the quick reply!

    Ive checked out RF200, I need something with a really yellow/golden undertone. I have the MAC strobe cream which is fab so thanks for the advice :)

    x

  • @nurulaynMahsa your welcome :) hope i was helpful :D

  • British Jeffree Starr.

  • would u say its better than laura mercier silk creme?

  • @Kinatakins I'm an nc20 (roughly.. no mac foundations suit my skintone) and have this in 133, i'm not sure colourwise how it maches nc20 but it's perfect for my skintone.

  • Anyone know what colour an NC20 should get?

  • I GOT THIS FOUNDATION TODAY. ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    one thing I think though is that you CAN wear it everyday, but you hardly use any of the product.

    (Less than a dime's worth).

    Definitely works as a concealer.

  • what about 115 i thouhht that was the third lighest

  • @Livingmydyingdreams me too :O

  • @Livingmydyingdreams maybe it wasn't released when this video was made?

  • @Livingmydyingdreams yeah, 115 definitely wasn't released when this video was made (july 2009).

  • @Livingmydyingdreams When this video was released 115 wasnt released. That was only released early this year and this video was made in 2009.

    Im 115 and i hate the formulation.

  • this is brilliant, ive been looking into illamasqua's rich liquid but wasnt sure of colours, i'm paler than NC15 so this is great!!

  • you look better with that finish as opposed to matte because it brings out your natural skin tone as an undertone mixed with the illamasqua foundation so i suggest you stick with that because you look gorgeous with it on . x sadly i cant wear foundation it breaks me out :'( plus i wanna be a makeup artist but my parents really put me down about it so its really bad.. but anyways stick to your illamasqua babe :) x

  • @XxPuppyLuverzxX no he's not Adam lambert ... But he's just as talented:)

  • this was very helpful, thank u

  • omg you look like that singer, i now this is gona sound so stuopid but are you..adam...whateve his face is.

  • i love your accent, jealous

  • I love the make up you're wearing.  You're gorgeous!

  • I've been on the website just now and i saw a 'new' shade RF 115, claiming to be for very light skin...is this a newer shade since you filmed this as it was just under a year ago? i'm really pale, i find it really hard to find the right colour for me. :) x

  • you have very pretty eyes you look like paris hilton

  • thank you soooomuch for this review! you look fab, boy.... does it settle into lines? w/ or w/out primer? i am soo young yet i get those lines, no matter how well i moisturize :( i think my skin is just dehydrated, not dry

  • omg your flawless hun :D

  • great vid!! just one question where did you get the flat kabuki brush? all the ones i have found so far are domed and not as dense! x

  • @00smm its a mac discontinued brush

  • @royalloveaffair  that's such a shame, you don't happen to know of anyone/where that sells a really good flat kabuki brush do you..? x

  • I have been watching reviews on this foundation ever since I was at Sephora in Las Vegas and an EXTREMELY pale foundation caught my eye. I went right over and tried it on my hand. I do have to say that it's got nice coverage, but I think I'm between the lightest skin tone shade and the pinkish white one. I do need LOTS of coverage due to scarring and acne. Should I get this foundation?

  • would you say it covers pimples, and dark marks, and not look heavy and caky ................?

  • illamasqua'd highligher brush is like the one you were talking about :)

  • you have AWESOME eyes, love 'em :)

  • For the record, I'm an NW15, not an NC, but this foundation works fine for me if I use it with a light hand. :)

  • thank you thank you thank you thank you

  • you are gorgeous, and your makeup is simply FLAWLESS. *jealous*

    your skin in this video is my incentive for ordering this foundation in #120 (nc15-ish)

  • Nice!...I will try the foundation & the satin primer!...thanks!

  • hey guys!!! lol i love wen u say that lol. i say it the same time u do every time lol

  • Hi! Thanks a lot for the review. I have already got 105. And i`m confused about how my skin looks after using it. (oh, sorry for my bad English). Foundation is underline dry areas of my skin, which i havent see before. And it`s underline my pores very much too :( I thought that reason is my skin type, but my friend is tried it and say the same :( Also Ive got the pressed powder and have similar problems with it :( Maybe i need cream foundation, what do you think? Or satin primer could help me?

  • Hey, I think I know what you mean.

    If you use it with the satin primer this shoud'nt happen. It happened with me but when I started using the primer it fixed the problem :)

  • Ah, thank you. I will try it. :D

  • you remind me of the lead singer in Placebo

    ! I dont know why but its okay you both look cool! haha

  • @DivineRosario yeah his hair looks like brian molko's during black market music heheh, thats what i was thinking :-)

  • yeh me to! you reminded me of what that's called haha ^_^

  • How does it work on oily skin?

  • try the cream foundations with the stain primer its awsome.. :D promise!

  • Great video :)

    Question though, do you have facial hair and shave ? If so you can tell AT ALL

  • yea. he uses mac shaving cream

  • oh ok thanks

  • I love you, - YOU ARE SO FRICKEN CUTE!!! Great tips! I agree though, I don't think I will ever be able to give up my mufeHD foundation, I love it too much.!

  • #135 is actually the lightest skin shade (not #120). It can be confusing, but when you see #135, it's hard not to miss how much lighter this is than #120. In fact #135 is a truer Ivory and much lighter. #120 was very jaundiced looking and too dark for me. The color system is a mess.

  • @VampiricSirenMuse agreed!

  • @VampiricSirenMuse It actually depends on the undertones of your skin, if you're not using the right based undertone it can look darker and really bad. i.e I use 115 because I'm yellow based, but if I used 120 it would look weird and dark and totally wrong because it's pink based.

  • @VampiricSirenMuse Actually the lightest skin tone shade is #115, which has a pink undertone. I'm a #135 and it's not exactly the palest of foundations, I usually mix in a slight bit of #100. But I do agree their colour system is a mess, they're all over the place.

  • @LeighbyTM on the site and on sephora it says its fair with nuetral...are they wrong and is the nuetral a 120?

  • I don't even know anyone that white, lol.

  • haha

  • On asos the colour chart shows RF140 lighter than RF120 and i read someones blog where they said the counter staff said that RF135 is actualy lighter than RF120 but has more pink tones. I am so confused about the colours as i dont have a store near me, wish the colours on the website were beter :/

  • I dnt think anyones paler den u

  • i love ur eyeshadow!!!!!!!!!!!! u are beautiful!

  • Wayne at gossmakeupartist just did a tutorial on this foundation. He says you basically need to dilute the foundation with moisturizer before applying it!

  • mositurizer makes the foundation feels gloppy try the primer!

  • I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have dry/sensitive skin and im very prone to acne and have ALOT of acne scarring and was wondering which foundation would be best out of Illamasqua or The Clinique repairwear? I currently use revlon colorstay and that isnt thick enough to cover my acne scarring. Any advice would be great :)

  • im very interested in purchasing this foundation. but im a NC35, would anyone know what would be a perfect match ? thanks!!!!

  • i am a nc 35, and i got 215 but its veryvery orange for me.:(

  • Your amazing at makeup, and such a lovely person! :) xx

  • What kind of contacts do you wear? They seem very mysterious.

  • First of all thanx for the review,

    second of all has anyone ever tell you you look exactly like Leona Lewis!!! GOSH YOU REALLY DOOO LOOK LIKE HER@@

  • i can't wait till illamasqua comes to the sephora near me :]

  • Absolutely adore you! Your incredibly cool and unique with the absolute best make up I have ever seen. Love your flawless look. Positively gorgeous. I would love to know what eye shadows you are wearing because I love this look. I am super pale and think this would bring out my large brown eyes beautifully. Would love to know! XOXO!

  • does the light liquid foundation have as nice of a coverage? the heavy stuff does look like it was need a lot of maintenance but im wondering whether the light would work well as well. especially in the 100 and 105. I have white skin so i cant really find many places that doesn't have watery foundation

  • I wear shell in doublewear...which shade would I need in rich foundation and makeup forever hd???

  • what do you think about liquid light foundation?...i want to buy a foundation but rich is too heavy for me...for my daily rutine..

    And....how much pale are you in person? I don't know if I must buy 105 or 120....NW15 of MAC is so dark for me.......105 it will be very fair????

  • Hey! Have you tried it already? NW15 is way too dark for me too ..in addition to that my skin is more bluish...

    Can you wear the 105 on its own?

    Greetings :)

  • @KasIsBitter If you're pale enough you could pull it off. I have the 105 and I have pale skin but some redness on the cheeks. It covered the foundation and made me look a bit paler (my whole family commented on that lol) but it still looked good because of my natural skin tone and they probably noticed a lot more because it completely covered the redness in my face.

  • sorry to put you on the spot here...but you said it covered redness...i have quite a yellowish shade to my skin, do you think 105 would look like white face paint on that skin colour?

  • I wear 100 on it's own and it's perfect for me

  • thats awesome haha

    seriously. i want light skin like that

  • he he thanks, but unfortunately i have to were sunblock every day or i just burn so it not so fun,

  • My opinion is that this foundation is much better than the Make Up Forever HD foundation.

    I think the coverage is better and it blends perfectly.

  • Thanks Richie, this is wonderful to know. I have looked for a long time for a full coverage liquid. Very hard to find. Another amazing video! hugs

  • Hahah wow I just watched further into the vid and you compare the both. I feel foolish I will just buy the HD I am a stay at home mom so best choice for me. Thanks this review really helped!

  • Do you think the mufu HD is better then this? Because idk if its the camera but this looks a bit too heavy on your skin. I want some coverage but dnt want it to look cakey. I have the HD but its too light for me now.. Idk if to purchase this or thd in a darker color. Anyone have some tips? Advice

  • what color e/s r u wearing here? It looks like a color from "Interview" Mineralize e/s from MAC...thanks..

    it's discontinued brand..hey did u get my email about All cosmeticswholesale? they sell a lot of MAC lip products that are being discontinued..it's a great site..this is where the Interview Mineralize e/s is being sold..

  • you always talk about how much you like purple lipgloss and lilac lipsticks and so far. . ive never seen you use them! ♥ could you please make a vid or tutorial where you are using one of your lilac lipsticks and/or a purple lipgloss?

  • youre gorgeoussssssss<3

  • lmao thought that the good ad in the beiging was ur new way to start vids..for a min there i was lik where the hell is the style and beauty thingy..ahhhaaaha glad to c its still on

  • Hello, i have oily skin and do u think the foundation could keep the shines away? Ive read some reviews but they all have dry skin.. Thnks before :)

  • Can a primer be used as a base for anything like tinted moisturizers?

  • what bronzer do u use ?

  • which brush is that white mac one?

  • It's the flat top kabuki MAC 133. It is a limited edition brush, which means you can't get it at the stores, but it's still around the internet to grab it!

  • thanks a lot!! =D

  • Comment removed

  • you remind me of victoria beckham, but in a good way.

    you're so hot lmao<3

    i wish more boys wore full face makeup.

  • Would you say the Illamasqua primer is better than Strobe liquid from MAC? xx

  • Yes definitely it is alot more effective x

  • i love the way your lips look like! :)

  • Your videos help me out soo much

    because you have a very similar skintone and i love your style of doing the nude lips and dramatic eyes.

    i was wondering if you know of any website or store that sells illumasqua products for a reasonably low price?

  • They're sellling Illamasqua in Charles Fox now....I was in london on wednesday for my flight so i thought i'd check it out...they only have a small range in there though =[ i wanted the really light foundation x

  • Sounds like your grasping at straws to try and say something bad about me.

  • i agree with some of the other comments that say your foundation looks too heavy. normally looks better!! x

  • i like your makeup

  • I am just asking...It seems like this company is buying some advertising here on you-tube.. Alot of people are reviewing these products, So my question is.......Did you buy these products or did the company give them to you so you would give it a good review...JUST ASKING....I am not sure if I trust the reviews on you-tube.....

  • it's good to be alert with reviews on youtube, because alot of them are just saying they like things because they got them for free. but He is honest with his reviews. :)

  • Hey, I was sent this product by the company but I have purchased things from them before and really like all the products Ive tried Iam completely honest with my reviews if I dont like something I will say so.

  • Hey Hottie Thanks for getting back me...I was getting worried that you may not have.....Your so pretty (is that ok) or you so hansom? What ever you look great......

    Love you lots

    Paris xoxoxoxoxxoxo

  • Does anyone else think he kinda looks like Ashley from Charm School (on VH1)? Lol... That's not a bad thing though! She's gorgeous. :)

  • I uswually love your make-up , but I think your foundation looks "masky"

    It may be too full coverage for you - you have beautiful skin!

  • I agree it isnt something I would wear everyday but will be fantastic for nights out and photoshoots stuff like that x

  • your skin is amazing

  • haa you said its so amazing

    soo I'm going to try this one out. I've tried a lot of foundations lately and I haven't really found one that's stuck out strongly to me. I also use the makeup forever so I'm to a big fan of that, it's the same for me. I feel like I can just put it on in the morning before I leave, and only have to retouch it like once.

    But thanks for yet another amazing video and I love the eyelook in this video.

  • It actually depends. I have pink undertones in my skin, and I use a foundation with a pink undertone. I find if you Don't It looks like your wearing a mask. If you have DEEP undertones or have rosacia, and you want to cancel out your natural skin-tone. You would want to use yellow. Sooo, fayelikesbutter, you can speak for yourself but you don't know everything.

  • thanks so much for this review! i was just about to purchase. this was very helpful

  • glad it was useful :D

  • Hello :D love itt im thinking of getting it for the winter and when i go back to school and stuff :) could you do application of it? x

  • Hiya, Can you give a list of a few of the best and a few of the worst primers you've come across? I'd really appreciate it :))

    Keep up the good work :))) xoxo

  • The foundation looks good.. but you can really see your wearing it. I'm not saying it looks fake(!).And you've said it yourself.. it's a full cover foundation for your face. I need a thing like that for in the winter.

  • I bought the stupid RF 105, which is the off-white one. It's rubbish. If you consider yourself "very fair" but don't want a white foundation, this one is useless. It is basically white with hardly any colour to it at all. And 120 is still too dark for anyone really really fair! Useless! I can only suggest mixing them up.

  • I agree they need to be mixed if you are very fair

  • lovely

  • love the eyelook in this video

  • I prefer your previous hair style... but you're always gorgeous

  • Thanks for showing the products in great detail, it was very helpful :)

  • uh oh your right eyebrow has more of an arch than yuour left

    lol

    but i still love you!

  • Do you think this would be equal to high-coverage foundations made to cover skin problems, like Dermablend and Cover FX? I'm fair with NC15 skin and rosacea, and my fairness makes any redness stand out even more. I've tried MUFE and just about everything else and nothing covers enough. I was considering trying out the aforementioned specialty foundations but if this would work for that I'd be excited to try it out.

  • You Look Really Older With Your Hair Like That Rather Than Your Fringe! (:

  • are you wearing contacts in this vid :)?

  • nope that my natural eye colour x

  • I love your reviews. Lots of detail, very descriptive, good lighting for swatches, no BS, very honest. :) I nearly got to a mac counter for the first time ever today but it was closed by the time we got there. Boohoo. I don't want to order online because I waste money on products that just don't match my skin or suit me. Thank you for taking the time to give us tips and make reviews. x

  • Comment removed

  • I love IIIlamasqua!

  • i reali love illamasqua priducts ...thanx alot u look great .... i adore ur vids

  • Oomgg ! *_* I absolutely loooove your eyees (L)

  • Illamasqua have actually posted real swatches of all the rich liquid foundation colours on their blog illamasqua(dot)blogspot(dot)co­m hopefully that should help.

    Im glad you liked the review :D

  • You look especially stunning today - I adore the dark deep blue eyeshadow. One of my fav looks:) Thanks for this great review. You always seem to cover the very questions I have about the product...it is eerie how you do that!  Thanks for the info and I WILL be buying some.

  • how would you compare this one to the mac liquid foundation?

  • It is more coverage than studio fix fluid and I much prefer it .
