Hello everyone!
How are you? I am finally working to get myself in routine, as I was really unwell from last few weeks so Im working hard to avoid these gaps in between my posts. I have nykaa’s brand new skin genius foundation to review today!
Nykaa is going crazy with their launches, and it’s really difficult to keep up with them seriously!!! This foundation gained a lot of hype among big beauty bloggers, the properties it has and everything. The moment I saw the Nykaa Skin Genius Foundation, I knew I had to buy it, especially when it claims to be clever about coverage. It is very difficult to buy foundations online and with the limited shade options that it becomes difficult to buy foundations over the beauty counters as well, as the foundation get oxidise later on but if a product has the capability of adapting to your skin tone you don’t need to worry about going a tinge lighter or darker than your actual skin tone.
Let’s quickly get started.
The foundation comes in a very sleek and sturdy plastic packaging. It is very compact and can be easily slipped into your bag, which makes it great for travelling. It has a screw lid opening which secures the product nicely so there is no worry for spillage. The plastic tube comes in a coral pink cardboard box which has all the information mentioned about the product.
5 Shades || Light to Dark (Pure Ivory 01, Almond Beige 02, Warm Sand 03, True Tan 04, Golden Honey 05)
(I bought Warm Sand 03 that adapts to my skin tone due to clever color pigments but I think my shade is Almond Beige 02)
The packaging is not really fancy, it’s a basic plastic bottle with a black cap. When you unscrew the cap you will see that it has a flat nozzle, not even a pointed one, which I would have preferred because the foundation is quite runny in consistency and you can always go overboard if not careful.
The consistency reminds me of the Mac Face and Body Foundation. Because it’s thin and watery, you don’t really need any tool to apply this foundation, it blends so easily that your fingers can you do the job but if you don’t like it then go ahead with a foundation brush but not with a sponge blender because it will soak up most of the product.
It provides a sheer coverage and looks natural so if you are into a no-makeup-makeup zone then this will suit your needs. The second layer will build up the coverage but do not expect it to go opaque and hide imperfections. This foundation evens out the skin tone making your look skin look naturally radiant and healthy while covering or blurring minor flaws. The lasting power of 4 to 5 hours without a primer and it does not feel heavy or oxidise on me. About the Clever coverage, I think it is true if you go one shade lighter or darker. I bought the shade Warm Sand which is a tad bit dark for me but it matches perfectly to my skin tone after a while and does not look ashy on the darker areas of my face (under my eyes and around the mouth, neck). The shades seem to have a fair amount of yellow tone in them so they will go well with Indian skin tones. This foundation is hydrating so its great for people with dry to combination skin. The formula feels light on the skin and does not settle into the pores or fine lines.

Hell yes. (If coverage is not an issue.)
