Hilareco PHOERA Foundation, Face Powder, Soft Focus Setting Powder, Full Coverage Foundation for Women (102 Nude+N.01 Translucent)

I love this product, it has flawless good coverage.

Really love this and have tried a lot!

First of all, this is a set of a liquid and a powder foundation from PHOERA in matching tones and the price to get both of these together is really very good. It makes it a budget make-up set but without it coming out with a horribly budget finish.The liquid foundation goes on fine and it's a smooth feel with good coverage. I do feel like it's a little too cakey for me personally though and particularly where it seems to emphasise uneven patches. I like the powder a little more and it's very good at setting the base foundation, but again, when you add these two together you get more of a heavy feeling on the face so it's probably not a combination that's ideal for me.However, I have to say that I don't have the smoothest skin at my age and so you may not feel the same if you are a young whippersnapper without any lines and/or blemishes on your skin. I feel that you may find the set gives you a much better finish than I had and so this is accounted for in my review score as I can see how experiences may differ.On the whole, it's a fairly good set at a great price and it's ideal to keep as a back up in your bag when you're out and about if you need a touch up. I do wish the liquid bottle came with a lid though as the cap tends to dirty any areas it comes into contact with due to the lack of a seal.

Been searching for a good foundation for ages, so glad I found this one it looks so good on and doesn't cake or look patchy.

I don't usually wear make up, especially foundation, as I have usually found that it blocks my pores and I start to sweat through it, even on cooler days. I'm in my mid 50s, but without any deep lines & wrinkles. I have a complexion on the olive end of the range, but went for a fairly light Nude/Translucent colour option, as I'd rather it was a little lighter than my natural tone than darker.I don't have any special preparation potions, so I applied this with a damp sponge over a light moisturiser.The foundation went on very smoothly and evenly, looked natural and covered blemishes and uneven skin tone. I applied the translucent powder over the top, and the finish wasn't caked and didn't look obviously "made up" (a concern of mine because I so rarely wear it).Most importantly, I had no sweating from blocked pores I usually get from foundation. I'm not sure why, but I'm happy I have one product I can use that doesn't make my skin feel uncomfortable. I probably still wouldn't choose to wear it in very hot weather, but that's just a decision I'd make for any make up for my own sensory reasons, because it presumably wouldn't prevent perspiration if it's hot out and I'd likely mess it up through the day.I am really happy with it.At £12.99 for the two products, I'd say this is definitely worth the money.

I gave this combination foundation and setting powder a real good go - it's been WEEKS I've been testing it out. Unfortunately, I have very little to say about both products that isn't bad. I really want to be fair in this review, so I feel I have to note that the packaging while a little on the cheap side looks pleasant enough and has a modern sleek feel. Not the prettiest out there, but I can live with that if the product is good... which unfortunately it isn't.First, the foundation itself is very heavy even when lightly applied and the shade selection is very limited. Personally I found the shade to be way too orange which meant I couldn't use much without some serious blending, which led me to quickly find it did not blend well at all. Not a great start.As for the powder, it is similarly hard to work with. Unlike the foundation, the colour was fine - it's transparent, so it can be used on a wide variety of skin tones without much issue. However, this is the only positive thing I can really find to say. I found the powder itself to be heavy even used in small amounts and tended to not so much set the foundation itself as it did just make the skin look very flat and dull. My skin looked absolutely lifeless after applying both products, no matter how minimally - not the kind of look anyone wants to achieve.As stated above, I really did give this product a good test. I've had it for WEEKS now and have been going back to it now and then to see if there is any way I can find to make it work for me, but there isn't. As it is, I've decided to give up and both products will be passed to a local charity in the hopes someone else out there may get some usage out of them.3 stars purely for clean, simple packaging but honestly, given how poorly the products perform, even that feels too generous.

Good value and good coverage.

I already have Phoera's Buff Beige foundation, which is currently my favourite makeup - so I didn't hesitate to order this foundation and face powder combo. Previously, the foundation came with concealer, which I am now using for the first time ever, and I liked the idea of trying face powder too. I've always thought of face powder as being only for people who liked to wear lots of makeup - and look made-up - whereas I like a completely natural look. However, the foundation and concealer blend in really well, while blurring fine lines and imperfections, so I was hoping that the powder would too, and not detract from the overall natural look.Both the Buff Beige shade of foundation and Cool Beige powder are just right for my pale skin colour. However, when I tried out both for work, the powder did make me feel a bit over made-up, so I will probably keep that for going out in the evening. It comes in a nice light compact so could be useful for taking with me for touch-ups.I'm certainly no expert on makeup, but this foundation/powder combo seems to me to be very good quality for only £9.99. Importantly, it's also 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
