Radiant Professional Natural Fix All Day Matte Cream Foundation Makeup – Long Wear, Full Coverage Matte Foundation with SPF 15 – Oil Free Lightweight Formula for All Skin Types – 1.01oz (00 Alabaster)

The shade was good for me. The coverage is good too and you can build on it.I became oily during the day and it kind of settled into my fine lines .It’s ok but not my favorite.

This comes with just the bottle, no outer product box. There wasn’t even any plastic wrapping sealing it, just a clear round sticker on each side of the lid. For a bottle of foundation that costs $24.99 (at the time of writing this review), I would expect an outer product box. But, the bottle itself is very nice - Thick frosted glass. The lid is plastic and there’s a plastic pump that is nice. The bottle has the ingredients listed on it, and I included the full list of ingredients at the end of my review.At the time I got this and wrote this review, the info on the product page is sorely lacking. There isn’t even a description of the foundation itself. If you scroll down, there’s a little about the company, which isn’t very helpful when trying to decide on the foundation in my opinion. I did a google search of the foundation and was able to find the product on the “Radiant Professional Website.” There I found out the foundation has SPF 15, which is great (though I don’t look to my foundation for my SPF, nobody should since most are never going to apply enough foundation to get the stated SPF). They claim it’s a “high full-coverage foundation. Offers natural matt and long lasting result.” (It’s driving me crazy leaving it as ”matt” and not changing it to “matte” 🤦‍♀️).FULL DESCRIPTION FROM RADIANT PROFESSIONAL WEBSITE:“Natural looking skin all day long! Natural Fix All Day Matt Make Up offers very high to full coverage, natural matt result and long wear even under strenuous conditions. Formulated with Vitamin E and a botanical alternative to hyaluronic acid, rich in polysaccharides, providing intense hydration, and with micropowder for the regulation of oiliness.”“It is non-acnegenic, parabens free and offers sun protection with SPF15.” It is also “oil free, gluten free, and cruelty free.”“Ideal for all skin types.”I like there’s SPF in it. But, like I said, I don’t look to my foundation for SPF since I’ll never apply enough to get the actual stated SPF. I also liked it claimed to be full coverage but natural looking. I usually don’t go for matte foundations because I have dry skin and they tend to just look too cakey or mask-like on my face, but if it claims to be natural looking, I am always willing to give it a try! I like that it has vitamin E in it. It says it has a “botanical alternative to hyaluronic acid” in it, which I’m not sure what that’s supposed to be. I like that claims to provide intense hydration, but not sure how that works given it’s claiming to be matte. I can see it being matte but natural looking (a natural matte, where it dries down on its own and looks matte but not a flat matte or dry looking matte), but I don’t see a matte foundation, even a natural matte, providing intense hydration. But I was excited to see if it could! I love that it’s “non-acnegenic,” because I suffer from hormonal breakouts and a lot of times when I wear a full coverage foundation all day, I’ll end up with a small pimple. So that this is specifically designed not to cause acne is great! Most are designed to not clog pores (non-comedogenic), so I loved seeing this was non-acnegenic instead!There wasn’t any description for each shade and there wasn’t even a photo showing swatches of the shades next to each other (some of the shades had a photo that had drops lined up next to each other, which wasn’t helpful since it was only a small drop and not even all the shades). Hopefully, they’ll add to their page and have more of a description of shades, photos of swatches of all the available shades next to each other, and maybe even a description of the foundation.I am pretty pale, so I usually go for the palest shade when getting a foundation, especially if I’m buying it online and can’t swatch it first. I’d rather have it be too light and be able to fix that by powder, bronzer, etc. than have it be too dark and have to mix it with a lighter shade or foundation lightener. When I was looking at the different shades they had available (which doesn’t seem to be very many!), I saw they had “00 Alabaster” and “01 Rosy.”Don’t even get me started on undertone and brand’s. So many will call something “rosy” that won’t be rosy at all. Looking at the “00 Alabaster” shade, it looked neutral to me and it looked pale enough for me. The shade “01 Rosy” with the name “Rosy,” I figured it has a pink undertone but looking at it in the product photo it looked more peach toned and darker than alabaster, so I went with alabaster.When it arrived, I was surprised by the shade. It was A LOT darker than it appeared in the product photo online. Whenever I’ve seen the shade “Alabaster” as foundation/concealer shades, it was always one of the lightest, if not the lightest, shade. To me this alabaster shade is more of a light shade, than a fair shade. Luckily, I was able to make this work, but had to mix it with a lighter foundation. Since this was the lightest shade they had, it makes me sad, because it is a great foundation! So, I really wish there was a shade light enough for me! But, like I said, I made this work, so I’m happy! I have photos showing swatches of the foundation to show the color!The foundation is BEAUTIFUL! It is definitely full coverage. I did 1 full pump for my entire face. It looked beautiful finish wise, but was a little too dark. So, I took a lighter foundation and put a couple dots on my face to lighten it up, which worked great. The foundation looked flawless! I usually don’t like to use a magnifying mirror to look close at my foundation because I usually see things I don’t like, and having the urge to wipe it all off and start again! But, for review purposes, I always do! This foundation looked amazing on my skin, even when looking with my magnifying mirror! I honestly couldn’t believe it! It didn’t have a full on matte look, it definitely is a natural matte look - to me it isn’t dewy or matte, just a natural finish. It sets itself. I didn’t even need to put on powder, which I prefer because of my dry skin. It didn’t cling to any of my dry areas. It wore beautifully all day! It didn’t separate at all.Overall, I think it’s a beautiful foundation! Full coverage, natural finish, I don’t have to set it with powder, and lasts great. I really hope they widen the shade range and include more variation for everyone, but especially some lighter shades for me! 😆 Even if they don’t, I can definitely see myself purchasing this when I run out because it looks so beautiful! I took a star off for the product photo for the shade being so off. But other than that it’s great! So, I definitely recommend!
