The foundation IS nice. HOWEVER. It is NOT a dewy foundation like mentioned in some reviews.The bottle states it is a natural matte finish and I 100% agree. It would be a lovely finish for combo skin or oily skin, but not dry skin like mine.It does look like skin, it performs well, it is durable, natural and hydrating( compared to other matte foundations)..but mind you.. it is not as hydrating as an actual dewy finish foundation.

Great coverage, very breathable. I like the color, it matches my skin tone perfectly!! Highly recommend!!

Let's start with my skin type so you'll have a sense if this review will be helpful for you. Even though I am 52, I have a moderately oily t-zone and normal-dry cheeks, mild-moderate redness due to rosacea and moderately textured skin. Wrinkles are quite fine and rather superficial.I use this foundation over a HA serum, moisturizer, and a red color corrector.Longevity: Solid! After10 hours or so, I do see some breakup on my nose and chin but it isn't horrible.Shine: Compared with other matte foundations, I find I have to powder far less than normal. My skin looks matte right after application and takes on a light glow after a few hours. My nose and forehead gleam a bit, but it's nothing compared to others.Oxidation: None!Skin Texture: I'd say I see light to moderate texture with this. It looks a bit heavier in my smile line area and between the eyebrows than a skin tint, but that's to be expected. No creasing, however.Coverage: I apply with a damp beauty sponge. I use about a pump and a half of this over green color corrector and am happy with the solid medium coverage. If I use a brush or my fingers, the coverage level is definitely higher.Overall, this is a foundation I keep coming back to, especially if I know my day will be filled with video calls or I need my makeup to last.

Great price. Good coverage. Would not recommend for mature dry skin. It goes on very powdery and settles into wrinkles and has a drying drawing affect. At least for me. Has good pigmentation, goes on easily and did not have build up the coverage. For me, it how it sit on the skin after application that was the draw back.

I love this foundation! It has great coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. It goes on smoothly and leaves my skin looking even and natural. The texture is really nice—lightweight and comfortable all day. Definitely one of the best I’ve tried!

I had high hopes for the Catrice True Skin Foundation, especially since I love the Catrice HD foundation and was looking for something a bit more skin-like and moisturizing. Unfortunately, this just didn’t live up to my expectations.I’ve given this foundation multiple chances because I really wanted to make it work. I tried it with different primers, without primer, over exfoliated skin, with and without moisturizer—you name it, I’ve tried it. No matter the method, the result was the same: patchy and unflattering.My skin is generally normal but tends to lean a bit dry in the winter, and this foundation clung to every dry spot, especially around my nose. It also settled into fine lines, making me look older than I am (I’m 37). On some days, it looked decent upon application, and I’d get my hopes up, thinking I finally cracked the code. But shortly after, it would break down and look patchy and uneven.I was hoping for a natural, skin-like finish with a touch of hydration, but it emphasized texture instead. If you have oily skin or maybe very smooth, perfectly prepped skin, this might work better for you. Sadly, it just didn’t suit my skin type or needs.I still love other products from Catrice, but this one was a miss for me. I’d recommend the Catrice HD foundation over this if you’re looking for something that looks more natural and doesn’t settle into fine lines.Hope this helps someone who’s on the fence about trying this!

I’ve tried dozens of foundations over the years, from high-end to drugstore, and this is the only one I keep coming back to. It gives me that rich, dewy glow I love—without needing to set it with powder—and actually feels good on my skin. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and makes my complexion look smooth and naturally radiant.One of the best things? It actually matches my very light skin. That’s incredibly hard to find, especially without going into luxury price tags. The undertone is just right—no weird orange cast, no ashy finish—just a seamless blend that looks like real skin.And the price? Honestly, it feels like a steal. It performs like a foundation three times the price. I stock up on it because I’m afraid of it ever being discontinued.Pros:✔️ Gorgeous dewy finish—no powder needed✔️ Hydrating, breathable, and lightweight✔️ One of the few true matches for fair/light skin✔️ Doesn’t cling to dry patches or settle into fine lines✔️ Super affordable for the qualityFinal Thoughts:If you want a foundation that’s hydrating, gives a beautiful skin-like glow, actually matches pale skin, and doesn’t break the bank—this is it. I’ve completely stopped searching. This is my holy grail.

Bought for my daughter & she loves it more than any other. Great coverage, goes on smooth.
