Reviews

One of the best I’ve ever tried!!

"I am actually astounded by the quality and consistency of this foundation. It leaves the most luminous gorgeous finish and also gives great coverage. Truly it was a surprise going by the price that a designer dupe could be this good!! Also a sidenote is that I’ve never had a more accurate colour match from their Find My colour feature on the website. So needless to say I am so happy with my purchase and I will definitely be purchasing this foundation!"

Anoushka (5/5)

Gives my skin a radiant finish

"Gifted by DB Cosmetics. I’ve now been using the Luminous Hydrating Foundation for a few weeks, and I’m genuinely impressed. The formula feels really hydrating, gives my skin a radiant finish without looking greasy, and wears beautifully throughout the day. It gives medium, buildable coverage while still letting my skin look like skin. Definitely a great option if you’re after a fresh, luminous base."

Kamila (5/5)

Luminous Hydrating Foundation quality product

"Quality product at affordable pricing. As a mature age woman I find makeup settles into fine lines on face. I noted the Luminous didn't. My only concern purchasing on line, is obtaining correct colour. In this instance could have done with two shades darker. Nevertheless, great product, will definitely purchase again from DB Cosmetics. Can you please advise what retailer stocks ALL your products. Big W, hit and miss. 5/5"

Lyn L. (5/5)

This is the best foundation

"This is the best foundation that I have ever bought. I have mature dry skin and this glides on effortlessly. A beautiful dewy finish and great colours which aren't orange and do go orange once on your skin. I use light sand and it's perfect. This foundation doesn't settle in the lines and wrinkles and stays fresh looking for many hours."

Robyn C. (5/5)

New fav foundation!!

"Gifted by DB Cosmetics, I’ve been using the Luminous Hydrating Foundation for the past week and I’ve honestly been pleasantly surprised. It feels really lightweight on my skin, gives a nice natural glow without looking greasy, and sits well throughout the day. It’s become one I’ve been reaching for a lot definitely a new go to! x"

Keeley J. (5/5)

Dewy, glowy and natural

"I was kindly gifted this product and I’m completely converted. I was previously buying the foundation that this one is inspired by but will save my money and buy this one again!! It’s super lightweight, natural looking and gives a glowy finish!!"

Benita (5/5)

Flawless

"I received this product for free from DB Cosmetics to try it out. I genuinely love it, the finish it leaves on my skin is everything I look for in a foundation. I’ve now been using this for 2 months and can say you get a lot of product for an incredible price making this repurchase a no brainer for me!"

Ella (5/5)

Second time buying!

"This is one of the BEST foundations on the market and hardly anyone knows about it! Has a pretty dewy finish with a nice buildable coverage. Looks like real skin!"

Rachel (5/5)

Love this foundation for coverage

"Love this foundation for coverage and my skin looks and feels a bit dewy and fresh"

Jenny F. (5/5)

Great even for mature skin

"I bought this in porcelain ivory and am over 50. It's a wonderfully light foundation with great coverage that looks very natural. Does not settle into lines and easy to apply. Will buy again."
