Hasty Beauty Blog: Review and photos: Becca Cosmetics Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme

Hello!

Cake-y appearance, breakouts, too drying, not drying enough, you name it and I have experienced it. We all have. Foundation is the most important part of your makeup routine. Bad base=bad makeup day. What's a girl to do? Well, I have the answer. (For the majority of people)

Now I'm not saying if you use this foundation it will give you the PERFECT look but it's the closest to it. You can't get rid of a bump or remove the texture from a scar but you can temporarily camouflage it. How you ask? Becca Cosmetics Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme is the key.

Product Details

You can find it at Sephora, Ulta or Beccas website. It sells for $44 and you get 30ml. There are 25 amazing shades.

Ideal for any skin type, this formula contains a balance of 21 percent pure pigment and 22 percent water, which work in synergy to completely conceal imperfections, redness, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture in a weightless cream.

For a beautifully seamless application, ensure that your face is well hydrated and allow your moisturizer or primer to fully absorb into the skin before applying the crème.
This foundation is designed to be used with a brush.
The average foundation formula usually contains 10 to 15 percent pigment and 5 to 10 percent water, whereas this product contains 21 percent pure pigment and 22 percent water.
Free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, alcohol and fragrance.

Pigmentation

The pigmentation in this foundation is one of the best I have discovered. I have a hard time finding a foundation that covers my hyper pigmentation but this foundation covers like 80% of it! And keep in mind that I only apply one thin layer and use concealer for extra coverage. So the pigmentation is pretty awesome! A

Lasting Power

On the days that I wore this foundation, I kept my makeup on for about 8 hours. The whole time it continued to look perfect. I even wore it in the rain and my makeup still looked freshly applied.

Does it cause breakouts

Ah, the most important part of this review. Thankfully, the answer is no. My sensitive skin reacted very well to this foundation.

Application/ Consistency

There is one thing that I must point out about this foundation! If you have dry patches, then I strongly suggest mixing it with a luminizer. I have to do this because of my dry acne and if I skip this step the foundation clings to those spots. But if you thin it out a little, it's the bomb.com! It's really easy to buff into the skin and it layers beautifully. The finish is matte but you can make it dewy with a luminizer mixed in(my favorite method). Once applied, it sets very quickly and doesn't feel tacky what so ever. You could probably even get away without setting it if you have normal to dry skin but I can't back that theory up for people with oily skin. Though, if you do set it, I think you will be just fine!

Obviously, the consistency is a creme. Which is great for an array of different skin types.

Amazingly, you can get FULL coverage from this foundation or keep it light. Either way it's actually breathable. Which is super super hard to find in full coverage foundations.

Packaging

The packaging is very sleek! The bottle itself looks high end and features an advanced pump. I have to say I'm really impressed with the quality of the bottle. Other companies need to take note!

Overall

This foundation doesn't get enough hype in the beauty world. The formula is truly unique and I know if everyone tried, they would rave about it. It's so Buildable and breathable. You can wear it as light coverage if you apply it lightly or you can apply two layers and have full coverage. The end result is always going to be the same, a base that looks like skin. I know the price is a little steep but it's worth every single penny. The Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme is one of those items that you need to save up for. If for some rare reason you don't like it, you can always get a full refund. However, I bet you'll love, love, love it.
