I got 320 based on the model and description and had to return it because it was way too light. I’m gonna wait until I can swatch in Sephora since only 330 and 360 look like they might be wearable without a blue mixer. Gorgeous formula, though, shade match may be an issue!
Your channel is so helpful to me because we are the same shade in the saie slip tint and Tower 28 foundation. I couldn’t figure out my shade for this, so your update in the caption with your correct shade is so helpful! Thank you!
As ladies of color we seem to have lighter and darker areas on our face especially our forehead. Overall it matches your neck pretty well. From my end anyway.
Yeah agreed, it will def not work once I’m in the sun for a few minutes hahah but for now I can make it work with a ton of bronzer. I will be ordering another shade soon 💚
Hey! I LOVE the way the foundation looks on you. It looks absolutely beautiful. From what I can see, the color looks perfect, even though you feel it’s too light. Maybe you could try a setting powder that has color to it? I tried mine out two days ago and loved it. I find it to be such a flawless foundation. I bought it in the shade 240. Thanks so much for the thorough review🥰🌺.
Thank you!! The foundation has such a gorgeous finish. think 290 would def be a better fit based off of the 3 I tried. I will def be checking that shade out 💚 in person 260 was a little funky looking but I can make it work for now but I’ll want another shade for spring/ summer. I’m so glad 240 works for you. The foundation is so pretty and natural looking.
Thanks for this review💕 Im a shade match to you and I totally get what you mean, I was also originally looking at 260 as well because of their pics but I’ve literally been stalking any reviews for this foundation as well, so I figured I definitely needed to go lower. But also it’s summer here in Australia so I’m currently my summer shade which isn’t helping my confusion lol. I think I’ve narrowed it down 290 and 310.. Leaning more towards 310 for the neutral undertone. Best of luck finding your shade 😊
this is the only review i could find of this color and I'm pretty sure this is the one for me. thanks so much for this review and your note on the shade discrepancies!
Yay, I've been looking forward to seeing reviews on this. I'm interested in it but I definitely think I need to pick a shade in person. The pics and descriptions I've seen online just don't seem quite accurate for this one.
Thanks for this! I wore this for the first time today and I'm so confused by it! Is it too light or an exact match with a ghostly cast?? After much testing and watching your review, I think it may be the latter. I'm going to get the next shade darker to see if that works out better. 👀 🙏🏽🤞🏽🍀 And I'm totally with you on the models/pictures being incongruous with what's in the bottle!
I was nervous when I first got it because as a woman of color that is somewhat fair but still need warmer undertones I almost returned it. But once I set with a light finishing powder and as I wore it throughout the day it was beautiful. I will probably eventually need to purchase a warmer shade to mix in
I am so glad you like it!! It took me a while to find my perfect shade but I ended up finding one which is great. its hard to find the right undertones a lot of the time.
I Got 350 and it made my skin so pretty. I have combination skin that glows on its on, so the foundation made it set in certain areas and dewy in other areas.
I'm a big fan of the concealer, I used it as my foundation because Kostas is the only one that gets the undertones right , I want to try the foundation I just wish these natural brands would use grapeseed oil in there products instead of squalene because it can cause some pimples. The color looks great on you , can you do a skincare video?
I will be doing a skincare video soon! 💚 I def wish the color was darker but it works for now. Once I have a little sunlight on my face it will not work sadly
We’re shade twins, subscribed! No ones my shade 😭. I was looking at 260 too so maybe I’ll go darker. My face is much lighter than my body and 260 would probably match my face but I match to my body.
Hi! The shade depictions are not ...just not accurate. I was watching to see if the foundation oxidized and maybe that was why the pics were like that but I didn't see that happen with your demo. Truth in advertising needs to be a thing. I couldn't decide online between 2 shades now but will have to go to the store before buying to avoid returns. I have balanced to dry skin & I can see this used for fall, winter & cool spring but not summer unless you have mattifying primer. Btw, did you a primer or setting powder/spray with this?You gave it a fair review.
Hey! I’m glad you enjoyed the review. I would def recommend trying in store to pick a shade. Also I didn’t powder or primer with it in the video but I have tried primer & powder with it and it looks gorgeous with both 💚
Hmmm maybe try adding a drop of oil? I always do that when I want an extra boost of glow! I also sometimes will add liquid highlighter to my foundation or just below my foundation.
So many people love their undertones but they don’t always match that well for me but I can make it work! I’m sure there is a shade in there you can make work 💚
@@TheCleanBeautyCode I can’t find anything in the Ilia that is an exact match, nor in the Kosas concealer. But I found an Exa shade that is a dead-on match! And I loved hearing your comparison of the Exa vs the other two, thanks!
Have you tried the kosas foundation? What do you think about it?

Yeah shade match was tough, I ended up getting 290 and it was a decent match! Hoping one 330 or 360 works for you! 💚

Oh, and I think you might be shade 290. Londyn Brielle and Chelsea wear shade 290 and your skin color resembles theirs. What do you think?
Thank you!! The foundation has such a gorgeous finish. think 290 would def be a better fit based off of the 3 I tried.

I think my next shade pick will be 290! I hope whichever shade you go with works for you because it’s a great foundation 💚
It has a very nice finish. Don’t need this right now, but will keep it in mind. Cool review !
Glad you enjoyed the review! 💚
this is the only review i could find of this color and I'm pretty sure this is the one for me. thanks so much for this review and your note on the shade discrepancies!
I’m so glad you found this video helpful!! 💚
So helpful! Thanks so much for the review. What lip gloss are you wearing? Makeup looks bomb as usual!
Im glad you enjoyed the review! I added the gloss to the description box, it's the ami cole lip oil 💚

Yes agreed!! Def worth checking out at Sephora in person because the shade matches online are tough to figure out

Yeah it’s tough to tell with the shades!! I ordered another shade and I’m hoping it works better
Thanks the review :) what are you wearing on your lips in the video? xx
Hey! I’m glad you enjoyed the review, everything I’m wearing is listed in the description box
Love the Identity Palettes on you 😍🥰
They are my current obsession! Def going to do a blue eye look soon with them 💚

That’s awesome!! So glad you found a shade match. I was able to finally find a shade that was a decent match!
Loved this video (even though I don’t wear foundation haha)! Btw you’re makeup looks amazing, as always! 💕 💕
Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video (even tho you don’t wear foundation 💚)

We are normally the same foundation shade. I picked up 290 and it is perfect.
That’s good to know!! I’ll have to check out that shade 💚 I think I got the shade above that one as one of my options

I’m really unsure about this foundation! I have dry skin and I felt like this doesn’t give me a glowy finish that I’ve come to love :/
Hmmm maybe try adding a drop of oil? I always do that when I want an extra boost of glow! I also sometimes will add liquid highlighter to my foundation or just below my foundation.
Honestly the colors on their whole website never feel accurate for most products - and I say that as someone who loves Kosas
I’m glad it’s not just me! I love kosas too but finding a shade is always so though
Well you're skin is just flawless so... off or on like the same
Thank you!!! 💚
Oh Kosas, why are you so damn yellow??? I don’t know which shade would work for me, or if there is a shade in this for me.
So many people love their undertones but they don’t always match that well for me but I can make it work! I’m sure there is a shade in there you can make work 💚
