I tried this for a special event where I wanted my makeup to look polished without feeling heavy, and it impressed me right away because the texture blends so smoothly that it feels more like a skincare step than a foundation, giving my skin a soft, even look that held up through the entire evening. The shade matched my undertone well, which made it easy to build coverage only where I needed it, and the finish had a subtle glow that looked natural in both indoor lighting and photos. I used the included brush, which made it simple to buff everything in without streaks, and I liked that it stayed comfortable on my skin without settling into dry spots or looking cakey as the hours went by. The jar feels luxurious and looks nice sitting on my vanity, and a little goes a long way, so I never feel like I'm wasting product. It has become the one I reach for when I want my makeup to look refined and last through a full day without needing touchups. Read more

I bought this Estée Lauder foundation as a gift for my wife, and I'll admit I was nervous about ordering makeup online; getting the wrong shade seemed like a recipe for disaster. I went with the product photos and her usual preferences, and surprisingly, the color matched perfectly. My wife has been using it for about two weeks, and she's genuinely happy with it. She says it feels more like a moisturizer than makeup, which matters since her skin gets dry, especially now in winter. The coverage looks natural, I can tell she's wearing something, but it evens everything out without looking heavy or overdone. She mentioned the glow it gives her skin makes her look more rested, which as parents of three teenagers, we could all use. The jar it comes in feels expensive and includes a nice brush. However, my wife did point out the jar gets messy compared to a pump bottle, and you have to keep dipping into it. She also sets it with powder because it doesn't fully dry down on its own. The price is steep, this was definitely a special purchase, not something in our regular budget. But seeing how much she likes it and uses it makes it worth it. Will we buy it again? Absolutely. Just make sure you get the shade right. Read more

The bottle is very heavy and feels really luxurious, but in my opinion, just put it in a pump bottle is better instead of these unsanitary jars where you have to constantly dip your hands or brush in to get product out. It gets super messy and just gets everywhere. The finish is quite nice. It’s glowy without making you look oily, but I cannot see this being waterproof since it never really dries down so it makes my face kind of itchy. I’m glad that it doesn’t have any strong smell of fragrance which I was sort of expecting. The shade range on this is not that great either. I usually wear a 2N2 and the closest shade to me is 2N1 that they offer, but it is still very light on my skin tone so I have to mix it with a darker foundation to get my perfect shade. It is not cakey. I would recommend this for dry skin definitely since it is more of a hydrating foundation but just sucks that it never sets so definitely use a powder on top. Read more

I have dry sensitive skin and I love using BB (blemish balm) cream for the all in one lazy girl make-up. This serum is the ultimate BB cream and it's the perfect blend for my skin type. This serum cream is very thick and rich but it goes on smooth and blends into my skin effortlessly. My pores did not feel clogged and my face did not feel heavy with this foundation on. I love the no-make-up make-up look, with the perfect sun kissed blush. This serum cream delivers. I ordered the Dessert Beige color and the swatch that I did on my arm came out a little darker on my arm than it does on my face. I have light olive skin tone and this color was a shade darker on my winter skin but will be perfect for my spring/summer skin. Overall, I love this serum cream, a little goes a long way. Recommend.

If you’re looking for a foundation that feels more like a high-end treatment than makeup, Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultra Radiance Serum Creme is exactly that. The texture is rich, creamy, and hydrating—almost like applying a premium night cream. A little goes a long way, which helps justify the price point. Coverage is excellent for evening out skin tone and blurring imperfections without feeling heavy or cakey. Color Accuracy: I ordered Warm Porcelain and was impressed that the shade matched the online photo perfectly. For anyone hesitant about buying foundation online, this brand seems to nail accurate color representation. Performance: The finish is luminous without looking oily, making skin look healthy and radiant. It’s ideal for dry or mature skin, especially during colder months when hydration is key. It doesn’t have a strong fragrance, which is a big plus. While it lasts well for most of the day, I recommend setting it with a light powder for extra staying power. Packaging & Extras: The glass jar feels luxurious and comes with a high-quality angled brush that doesn’t shed. However, dipping into a jar can feel less sanitary compared to a pump, so that’s something to consider. Pros: ✔ Feels like skincare and makeup in one ✔ Hydrating and luminous finish ✔ Accurate shade representation ✔ Includes a premium brush Cons: ✖ Price is high ✖ Jar packaging can be messy ✖ Shade range could be better Final Thoughts: If you want a foundation that nourishes your skin while providing a radiant, natural look, this is worth the splurge. Perfect for dry or mature skin and special occasions when you want that extra touch of luxury. Read more
