This particular foundation is highly rated, and we give it a big thumbs up as well. However, there are some notable downsides to this product. Here’s what we discovered: Yellow Undertone When you want to glisten and glow, this is the foundation to reach for. It’s a smooth liquid foundation that gives your skin a little extra sparkle. Here are some of its key features: It comes in 45 Shades As beauty editors, testing dozens of foundations comes with the job — but rarely do we find ones with a texture that lets us eliminate another product in our routine. We’re talking about glowy foundations here — ones that promise to keep our skin looking fresh and balmy and allow us to leave our highlighters behind our beauty cabinet doors. To see if the new NYX Professional Makeup Born To Glow! Naturally Radiant Foundation was up to the job, four Makeup.com editors put the product, which comes in 45 shades, promises to even out skin tone, provide medium coverage and leave a naturally luminous finish, to the test. Here’s what happened.

Glowy foundations are typically a big no for me between my oily-to-combination skin, love for the matte makeup look and obsession with highlighters. So, I was obviously hesitant to try the new Born To Glow! Foundation, but because I love the other products in this cult-classic NYX line, I felt like I needed to give it a shot. The first thing I noticed when trying the Neutral Tan shade was how lightweight and flexible the formula felt — it’s extremely buildable, easy to layer over any type of primer or moisturizer, and it felt pretty comfortable on my skin. After application, I was also pleased to discover that my skin tone appeared a lot more even and beaming, which made me realize that it was really working. Even after a few hours, I didn’t feel the need to reach for a mattifying powder, blotting sheet or even a highlighter (!!!). I felt that it was just the right amount of luminous matte , and damn, the product might make me a glowy-foundation convert. There’s a shade for every skin tone with this foundation. It comes in a variety of hues from pale to deep ebony and everything in between. NYX makes sure that they accommodate customers of all colors. Liquid FoundationSome people swear by a powder foundation, and we get it. That’s why we’ve added this alternative to the foundation mentioned above. This product comes as a pressed powder and offers a smooth, matte finish. You’ll get a flawless appearance without getting a” cakey face. So, in that case, we don’t recommend it unless you have a moderate skin type. However, if you want a dewy, radiant look, it’s always worth a shot to test it out to see how your skin reacts to it. The truth is, we like this product. We know how expensive makeup is, which is why we adore any brand that can produce quality products for an affordable price. Again, the Born to Glow Radiant Foundation is one of their more basic foundations, but it’s still a winner in our eyes. However, the medium coverage that this foundation provides is perfect for everyday wear. When you’re headed to the office or going out for lunch, it’s the perfect balance between natural and glam.
