theBalm Even Steven Whipped Foundation Natural Matte Finish

I purchased both this "light" color and the "lighter than light". I found the "lighter than light" to be a better color match for my fair skin. I am a mix of KVD's lock it liquid foundation (Light 45 and Light 42 Neutral). I have bad skin and this covers everything pretty well (better than any cream foundation I have ever tried)! If you want even more coverage, I recommend applying KVD's lock-it powder foundation over top (I wear color: Light 45 in this). I really really like the matte finish of this whipped foundation, I have combo skin and find most cream foundation to be super greasy--- not this stuff! It applies very evenly, I actually like to use my finger for application. I am in my early 30's and am getting fine lines on my face, this doesnt sink into the lines at all, PHENOMENAL formulation!!!!I also like theBalm's "Time Balm" concealer for under my eyes (their "light" color matches me the best). Hope this review helps those with fair skin like me find a good color match!I love the ingredients of the whipped foundation and concealer too, no nasty stuff and no heavy oils (that usually break me out)---No break outs at all with this!HIGHLY recommend!!!!!

This foundation is amazing. Since my holy grail Pond's BB cream was discontinued, I've been on a quest to find a replacement. I've tried practically every brand of foundation and BB cream I can get my hands on. Previously I was very disappointed with the Balm's Balm Shelter which had a really unpleasant orange hue. I am fair with dry, sensitive skin. I only need the tiniest dab of Even Steven to give me excellent coverage. It seems to apply best with a foundation brush from Ulta. As far as color goes, I need a 50:50 mix Light and Lighter than Light to get the perfect match for me. I have a cool to neutral skin tone. My main problem is flaky skin and redness. Once on, the foundation feels light and soft and doesn't irritate my skin or rub off excessively. I use micellar water to remove it at the end of the day.

I love everything that I have tried for TheBalm so far. I am not afraid to spend some money a make up product is the actually work for me. While this is an affordable product, it works. I love this foundation! It is really amazing having the right color for my skin tone. usually I mess up a get a shade or too in the wrong direction, but this light whipped foundation is perfect in every way. It stays on throughout the whole at medium coverage.

They don't make this anymore 😔 BUT if u can get ur hands on it I would. It's light to full coverage and it stays put. It wears wonderfully, u can get a full day with this foundation. And it doesn't break my sensitive skin out!

I like Even Steven whipped foundation as a replacement for the Revlon whipped foundation that has been discontinued. Although it's not as satisfactory as the Revlon I liked it is a whipped creamy consistency that I prefer. It doesn't dry the skin but I always use moisturizer before makeup routine. I have dry skin. I don't find it cakey but if I put too much on I just wipe some off and continue putting it all over my face. I also like the fact it doesn't take a lot to cover your face. I use my fingers to blend it which gives me a longer time to spread it and doesn't dry out too quick. I would recommend this. Just wish the jar was a bit bigger at the same price. :)

Good solid coverage. Easy to apply and blend. I do set my foundations with loose powder. The color stayed true all day. It did start to fall apart slightly around the side of my nose by day’s end, so if you have oily skin I’d use an oil control primer first. I’m about a NC15-20, and the shade Light works fine. If you’re in the market for a foundation, this is definitely worth a try.

I really like this brand but the color on this foundation is very dark. I ordered the light color and it's at least 3 shades darker than my skin. I'll keep it for summer time but I wish they had a lighter color because I like the full coverage of this foundation.

This is my all time favorite foundation, it has been out of stock on The Balm’s actual website for a while so I had to order this time on Amazon. It has awesome buildable coverage and feels super light weight. So glad I was able to order it here.
