Gorgeous finish on the skin, just the right amount of glowy and luminous without being too dewy or shiny.Pros of Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation: I will only recommend this to girls who are normal-dry skin type and have good skin to begin with and who do not mind light coverage but are looking to get naturally glowy and youthful-looking skin. This foundation is not suitable for oily skin at all. I don’t like the poor staying power and how it sinks into pores and creases on fine lines and makes my uneven skin texture look even worse. I do like how lightweight and moisturizing it feels on my dry skin. I do really like the how beautiful, glowy and luminous it looks on the skin which peaks through even after setting it with power without making you look too dewy, shiny or greasy. Overall, I had high hopes from this product, but it did leave me a bit underwhelmed. When I have used a regular lightweight setting powder, I started to notice shine and fading occurring at 5 hours which is when touch up was required. When I have used an oil-control mattifying powder to set this, I found my foundation wore well for 6-7 hours with some shine and fading starting to occur. Staying Power: Since it is absolutely necessary to set this foundation with a powder, the staying power largely depends of the kind of powder you are using. It feels very hydrating and moisturizing on the skin hence this foundation is more suited for normal to dry skin and oily skin beauties should steer clear of this. Using a setting powder over this foundation is a must. Even after a few minutes, it does not completely set and it will transfer onto your fingers if you touch your face. Look and feel on skin: Once applied, this foundation does feel tacky. It does not look heavy or like it’s sitting on top of the skin. I wouldn’t describe it as dewy, but your skin does catch the light and makes you glowing and “lit from within.” It gives an appearance of youthful and healthy skin, which I love. This foundation does add a beautiful yet natural-looking luminosity to the skin. I do feel this foundation is more suitable for girls with already good skin who are only looking to even out their skin tone but are mostly looking to add a lot of luminosity and glow and thereby addressing dullness of their skin. If you have a lot of skin issues to cover or if you are a full-coverage gal, in general, you will not like this foundation unless you bring in a concealer to address those issues. Though it is said that it is buildable, which I have tried to do, but even then, the coverage does not surpass medium. Coverage and Finish: This foundation is a light-medium coverage foundation.
