One thing I love about this foundation is how little of it I need to cover my full face. It is very shiny at first but once blended out, what is left is a pretty, natural glow. You can also clearly see here that it is has a very gel like texture. I wouldn’t call this foundation a medium coverage, but more like a light to buildable medium coverage. In this swatch you can see what the texture is like. Packaging gripes aside, what really matter is what this foundation does when you apply it to the skin. I hope mine is just a fluke and it’s not a regular thing. Luckily with this foundation I don’t need too much to be able to use it, so it’s not a huge deal but with a foundation this expensive I want everything to be perfect. I am not sure what is going on, but the pump feels cheap and not like it will last that long. The pump gets stuck the minute I press it. That was until I started pumping this foundation out. The outer box is nice and shiny and thus this foundation has all the looks and feels of a high end foundation. The bottle is made of glass and feels very luxurious. The packaging of this foundation feels very luxury but sadly I am a bit disappointed with the pump which is why I want to highlight this topic. The shade range was a touch confusing and I could only find this foundation online as there is no store near me that carries this. I purchased shade 130 N which is described as perfect for fair skin tones with a pink leaning neutral undertone. It comes in 50 shades and the line is divided into warm, cool and neutral undertones. It is gluten free, longwearing and suitable for senstive skin. It is supposed to have a medium coverage with a natural finish. This foundation is promoted as a hydrating, luminous foundation. Then again, that’s what happens to lots of ABH products over here, but I think it is good to know that this foundation can get quite expensive depending on where and when you purchase this foundation. That’s why I waited until I had a coupon to get some money off, because that mark up is just ridiculous. I have found this on US websites for around the €40 mark, but over here it retails at €48.99 full price. This foundation has a different price point depending on where you get it. Review: Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous foundation 130 N So I had a giftcard and got this foundation with 25% off. Flash forward to a year later and I still couldn’t get this foundation out of my mind. At that time, I decided to try the Fenty Pro Filt’r hydrating foundation instead of this one because I thought this felt weirdly gel like. I had spotted it and ALMOST bought it during my New York City trip last year. A foundation that is often compared to? The Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous foundation and that I hadn’t yet tried. A few months ago I tried the Zoeva Authentik Skin foundation, which I loved.
