Val: I’m not sure how they’ve convinced so many people to lie, because this is the worst foundation I have ever tried. Not only was the color way too yellow, the foundation was very very poor quality. Streaky, patchy, dry, rubs off easily, and shows off every fine line and pore you never knew you had. Don’t fall for it, it’s NOT good makeup and all the positive video/reviews you’ve seen online are 100% lying.
Cecilia: I bought it. Was supposed to be a “free” trail. Had to deny 3 time subscription service… got charged full price before delivery. Took a long time to come in… sent a letter to CS and BBB it came in 2 days later. Was water thin… didn’t cover a thing… my 5.00 dollar store foundation is way better… want my money back have started a return. Doubt I’ll see it…
Tobi: I recently ordered free trial of foundation, concealer, and a brush for application. I received my package promptly, even though I live in Canada. Unfortunately the shade was too dark. When I contacted company, they returned my email quickly. They were kind and considerate, and asked me to give them another chance. So they are now sending the correct color. I appreciate their good business practice. Also their polite professional manor. The foundation is everything they say it is. Just hoping for right shade. Recommend this business.
Elizabeth: I waited for over a week to receive this product. The ad that I clicked on says free trial and is misleading. Hold was placed on my account before I ever received the product. They have no phone number, so I had to place an email and wait 24 hours, just to be told that will fall off after my 14-day trial. Excuse me! That is the same as charging me! I’m returning just because of the no phone number and the false advertising, plus the product wasn’t any better at matching than my store-bought brand.

Il Makiage review: we tested 8 of the best Il Makiage products
I came for the Woke Up Like This Foundation, and stayed for everything else. Yes, the TikTok-favourite was flawlessly colour-matched and yes, everything else worked wonders too.
Not only does Il Makiage’s extensive colour-match quiz find your foundation, it also matches up the F*ck I’m Flawless concealer – mine was significantly lighter which made me apprehensive at first but it worked wonders for both covering up and contouring.
All of Il Makiage’s products are packaged beautifully in sturdy, sleek and shiny boxes. It definitely feels like a luxe brand before even trying anything. Even the lipsticks are printed with an Il Makiage symbol – obsessed. Read full review…
I Tested the IL Makiage Foundation Using Its Online Powermatch Quiz—Here’s the Verdict
Although I wouldn’t recommend this product for long-term wear (they do, however, offer a primer and setting spray which may help extend its mileage), I think this foundation would work great for short-term events, like a photo shoot or after-dinner drinks with friends. It does offer some pretty serious coverage with a matte finish, which would look great on camera or film. For beauty enthusiasts who aren’t afraid of a heavier, full-coverage look, this is the product for you. But as someone who prefers a lighter, more natural-looking finish, I’ll stick to my go-to Armani Luminous Silk for everyday wear. Read full review…

Victoria: Medium to full coverage, looks like skin. It didn’t break me out like most foundations do. I did the quiz and found that it was quite accurate. The shade I got turned out great, but once it settled /oxidized it was a shade or two darker, BUT it wasn’t anything my normal concealer routine couldn’t fix. It’s also summer so my skin did get a little darker so it’s no issue. Can be applied with a brush or sponge. I found with this I didn’t necessarily need my concealer, but used it to highlight certain areas. They have a great trial period where you can use the product for a fraction of the price and return or exchange if it’s not for you. Great customer service as well. They really go out of their way.
Samantha: This is my new favourite foundation!! I was super skeptical about the shade matching QUIZ!! Still can’t believe they sent me the right shade.
Leah: This foundation is nothing short of amazing! Woke Up Like This in shade 120 was a perfect match for my skin tone. I have tried many name brand foundations, and nothing came close to Il Makiage! The formula is lightweight and hydrating which I think is perfect to achieve a natural look. I would highly recommend for all makeup lovers or enthusiasts like me!
Samantha: Love this makeup! Not only was it free to try because they don’t charge you until you try it for a few weeks, it was easy to apply and was the perfect combination between natural and full coverage. Easy to apply and did not feel thick or dry out my skin like others do. Would recommend! Also I wasn’t sure my shade but you can do a quick test online to help you find the perfect shade for your skin.
Il Makiage Foundation Review
At the end of the day, if you are buying foundation online and you struggle with finding your shade, often wasting your money playing a guessing game, I think that the brand is worth the price.
Skeptical? Just watch the video transformations on the brand’s site. It totally blew me away to see how well its foundation covered discoloration and redness.
I’m personally fed up with trying new foundations, then loving one only for it to be discontinued. For me, it would be worth investing in an Il Makiage foundation since it’s backed by their fantastic matching technology and quiz.
It’s important for me to point out in this Il Makiage foundation review that the brand’s ingredients aren’t the cleanest. While they are cruelty-free, they aren’t hypoallergenic and the alcohol in the ingredients list can counter the hydrating effects of the hyaluronic acid.
If you have sensitive skin and a limited budget, Il Makiage might not be the best choice for you. I’m a fan of the brand’s Try Before You Buy option, and if you’re interested in seeing how game-changing its foundation can be, I’d recommend opting for this 14-day trial. Read full review…
