Coverage: It’s lightweight enough that one layer will even your complexion, but you can easily dial it up to create a full-coverage finish. Either way, you’re always left with radiant, dewy skin.

Shade range: 36. So I’m not mad at it – I’ve seen worse, but I’ve also seen better. What I do love however is that each shade family (from light to deep) is available in a range of undertones including cool, neutral, warm and olive.

What to look for in a foundation for dry skin Alternatively, we highly recommend opting for some of their other foundations if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. There aren’t too many details about the Born to Glow foundation that states that it’s for sensitive skin or that it’s non-comedogenic.

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 our list of alternatives: Total Control Pro Drop Foundation Medium, with buildable coverage, Born to Glow promises to give a "just-applied" 12-hour glow and boy does it deliver. I would categorize this as a rich and creamy formula. It feels more like a heavy moisturizer than a foundatio when this goes on initially. It blends in beautifully and the shade is also a great match for me as you will see in a picture below. This foundation is one where I feel you can manipulate it a bit more than others. You can wear it full on medium coverage if you’d like but you could also just use a bit less product and it sheers out beautifully. I have worn it both ways and it works quite well. The only downside here? Longevity. This sadly doesn’t last very long. It adheres to texture and dry patches quite badly after a few hours and I have also experienced this fading and looking patchy as it didn’t stay put. It rubs off quite easily. What is the coverage like? And, of course, if you want full coverage, add another layer or two of the foundation. Also, when you’re going for an ultra, radiant look, add in a few drops of NYX Born to Glow liquid illuminator into the foundation. Recommended Alternatives
