I LOVE this foundation! I have very dry skin, and am in the process of clearing up my acne with help from my dermatologist. This foundation sits BEAUTIFULLY on my skin all day long. It covers all my blemishes without looking cakey whatsoever. It's so lightweight that I truly don't feel like I'm wearing foundation. I do add the tiniest bit of the hourglass powder all over afterwards to avoid the "tackiness" but it doesn't bother me at all! This is 100% my every day foundation from now on.
I recently found your channel and have absolutely been binging your videos -- yours are some of the best out there, and I have learned so much based on how you talk about different techniques to apply makeup. The majority of beauty channels I find are from younger influencers who only do makeup on their own face, and it's tough to get a good, objective review from someone who only puts product on themselves. I love your content because you clearly work with a variety of different ages & skin types, and your reviews and feedback hold a much higher place in my mind because you use these products on people other than yourself. So, thank you for all your incredible content, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos and am so appreciative for all that you share!
I am a 51 year old, with combination skin and sometimes acne prone. The shade 8 N was perfect but I didn’t like the feel of it. I really wanted to like it! Love Mario! I love lighter feeling tinted moisturizers and foundations! Thank you for the review 😊
Your shade 12 Olive, I'm so glad I got my perfect shade 9W! I got mine at Kohl's when they were setting up the display lol! I'm 61 combo dryish and this is so beautiful on the skin, love this! It's running neck n neck with my Haus Labs foundation!
I also got the shade 12 O and it really is the perfect olive shade.. I am combination skin, but I lean more dry in winter and I love how this looks and feels on my skin. Excited to keep using it ♥️
I’ve always noticed when I’m trying new foundation if I use SPF I end up having issues! So I tend to stay away from spf on those days until I find a good match. I’ve also been trying the foundation and noticed my regular moisturizer does a good enough job to keep it on all day the day I used a pore filling primer it didn’t wear as good. Happy new year’s Nikki! 🎉
I have oily combo skin and always set everywhere with a little bit of powder and loved the way this foundation looked on my skin ! Even through 9-10 hour work days I thought it was beautiful
Hi, Nikki! Thank you for this review. I prefer reviews over first impressions, especially if there are other new products in the mix. I have combination/oily skin and don’t like the sticky feel. I appreciate your style of testing products. I usually like to try foundations on basic skincare too. Happy new year!❤
Same!! I DM’d her right after this launched asking when we were gonna get her opinion on it and get a video of her trying it on!! I thoroughly enjoy hearing her thoughts and opinions on makeup. 🥰🫶🏻
I do not like wearing foundation but was heavily influenced😅 and something about the description told me it would work for my skin type. I’m dry and have some texture. I prep with a heavy moisturizer and milk hydrogrip and it leaves me with such a smooth perfectly soft base. I’m obsessed. This is the only foundation I’ve kept aside from the Armani luminous silk.
Awesome review. I have the shade 7C ,I'd say it's more neutral than cool. I really like it. I have normal to combo skin and it works great on me. It does last a bit longer with a primer but looked just as nice without a primer bit I used a primer for NYE and so it lasted a bit longer. It works really well on my over 50 skin. I also set my entire face as per usual. I use a RCMA loose powder with a brush and press into my skin with a puff as well. My skin looked smooth and perfect.
Hi Oily skin gal here, this foundation works for me. I used the Missha Soft finish SPF then waited 20 mins to let that set. Then for primer I used the Huda beauty blur jam, applied foundation. Then set my T-zone with MUFE ultra hd matte powder. Lasted 10 hours! Also I would agree less is more with this foundation.
I was waiting to hear your thoughts! Thank you! I’m so thankful you mentioned the tackiness because I don’t like that, especially in south Florida. I’ve never been a fan of It CC cream for that same reason. Thank you!!
Yes I know that now thanks to you all letting me know in the comments so thank you!!!! I should have work my glasses to read that Tiny label. Oops !🤓🤭🤭
It looks pretty on you! Unfortunately, it did not work for me as it accentuated my mature skin texture. I think it works best for people that don't have too many issues. Happy New Year Nikki girl!
Hi Nikki! Thankyou for the detailed review. For me I really don't mind the tacky feeling especially during the winter months as my skin gets dehydrated with the cold and indoor heating. I think I will give this a go and then put it away during the warmer weather here in Boston. Happy New Year!
I saw Rose Siard @roseandben try this foundation out on her IG stories the other day and she said this foundation runs very warm, like all the shades are warm even one of the shades that she got which was supposed to have a cool undertone she said had a very warm/yellow undertone. She didn’t seem too thrilled about that and it kinda scares me bc my skin is neutral/cool. I’m just hesitant to try it now and then have it be so drastically warm on me that it makes me not like it even if I love the formula! I’ll have to go into a Sephora and try a few shades in store to see if any of the shades will work on me. It looks beautiful on you though!! I was so excited to see that you uploaded this today 😊🫶🏻
Would you consider testing the fairly new Maybelline Superstay 24’hour skin tint? I’ve heard some say it’s similar to the Makeup by Mario foundation which I haven’t tried. I personally love the Maybelline 🙂
Love your review, I was waiting to purchase this until i heard your thoughts about it. I so value your honest reviews. Do you think the cream you applied prior increased the tackiness? I have that cream as well, it’s very moisturizing it’s my absolute favorite.
Hi Nikki, was wondering. .. I got the same color 12-0 and it is a olive undertone. this is the match they gave me for Armani luminous in 5.5 w peach undertone. Are they close in color? I mean its okay on me. But can you tell me how those two are "close" kinda confused. Thanks soo much. Love you ❤️🙏💋💄
Hmmm that’s an interesting one I wouldn’t say this is a close match to the 5.5 at all to be honest. I know that shade in particular like the back of my hand because I use it so regularly in my kit! This is much closer to armani 6. Same exact undertone. Hope this helps!
@@Makeupbynikkilarose Thanks soo much, Nikki. I thought this was weird for a match. Thanks for your time in helping me. Im sure your a Busy girl! Love your videos and you. Happy New Year 😉👍🎉
I always find it funny what is recommended for oily skin vs dry skin. I have oily skin and matte, full coverage foundation looks TERRIBLE on me. It always accentuates my pores and oil breakthrough in the grossest way. The dewier the better for me as it seems to mix with my natural oils and become one with my skin. Does it last very long? No of course not, but I'd rather touch up a flexible dewy base than a crusty, chunky, broken up one. But maybe that's just me!
Hi Nikki, what would you suggest I try if my skin tends to soak up my foundation especially on my cheeks? By the end of the day it looks like I don’t have any makeup on. I cannot find a foundation that works for me. I have combination skin. Please help. Thank you
Oh my gosh…I guess I needed my GLASSES 🤓 I swore it said 120!!! I’m laughing so hard😂😂 Thank you for clearing that up and saying it so nicely!! It’s the perfect shade right?
That’s what I’ve heard too- and I’ve heard Rose @roseandben say that the cool undertone shades aren’t cool at all.. that all the shades run very warm! I’m neutral/cool depending on which foundation it is so I’m also gonna have to go in store to try a few shades before I buy it!! I was gonna purchase it online until I heard that. 🤷🏼♀️
Fantastic review! I’m hoping to get this soon if I can in the UK. I have mature skin so I’m hoping with some powder in the right places I’ll like this🤞
I did not like this at all. I have dry skin and it looked incredibly dry on me. I also could not get over the shimmer. And if you try to powder down the shimmer you get drier. Not a fan!!
Sammmmmeee!!! It was a no from me as well- (dry skin 50+. ). I should probably not have even tried bc my skin hates anything with coconut and I believe this is one of the top ingredients- I tried so many this year and nothing has touched Nars light reflecting or the Chanel for me. I actually like my wet n wild dewy finish more than the Mario ❤️. Glad to hear it’s working so well for others. Ps- I have never liked any of the IT cosmetics cc creams. I legit look like the crypt keeper with them!😂😂😂.
Why why why did they put glitter in the foundation?! There are so many products on the market that can give you that dewy glowy look but only in the right areas of your face. The shimmer is definitely noticeable when you wear this product. It applies well but the shimmer is a big no no- it’s like a kids makeup. I returned this back to Sephora.
@@kristaaal1387 the shimmer particles are visible and when you apply the foundation the whole face sparkles. It’s really unflattering to have this effect. And I think it downgrades the quality of the product…I wouldn’t recommend this product.
@@kristaaal1387 this foundation reminds me of a MAC foundation from back in the day. I used to use MAC and they had a foundation with a lot of shimmer in it. I don’t know if they still have it as I don’t use MAC anymore. I was 18 at that time so I didn’t care. But now I think that is too much.
Sounds horrible and way too much work ! I’m sure he’s going to get a lot of feedback about this . Maybe they’ll make another but out of all the nice foundations out no reason to get this for me
Thanks for reviewing this for us ! I have mostly oily skin so I'll pass on it. I wonder if the world really is so excited about only dewy foundation lol, i feel is the only thing we see these days. I'll stick to my too faced matte foundation. 🥹

Have you noticed it breaking you out? I’m scared to try bc of the coconut oil in there.
Does it cling to any dry patches?
What primer do you use with it?
me too this ones going to be one of my permanents

This is my new fav foundation. I have every foundation. I love love love this. It’s dewy. It’s skin like. It stays. It’s perfection
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FROM YOU!!!! I was like “I need Nikki’s opinion on this one” 😂
Same!! I DM’d her right after this launched asking when we were gonna get her opinion on it and get a video of her trying it on!! I thoroughly enjoy hearing her thoughts and opinions on makeup. 🥰🫶🏻
Yup that was me this morning, Wondering if she had the review already. !
i de lado como me
Same...but late to the party!!
What shade is the foundation?
I ❤ how you show us your skin prep!
I really hate the feel of IT foundation/ bb creams so your review is very informative. Thank you
Love that moisturizer!

So grateful for your thorough reviews. Trust your opinion a 💯 percent. 🙏🏾🥰
🎉🎉🎉🎉 was waiting for your review! Thanks Nikki ❤
The color match is Spot on! Amazing! I don’t care for that tacky feeling so not for me, but looks beautiful! 😍🥰💕

Great review! Thanks for sharing all your content. I love it! Is there somewhere where you share your jewelry and where you got it? I love your style.
Would you consider testing the fairly new Maybelline Superstay 24’hour skin tint? I’ve heard some say it’s similar to the Makeup by Mario foundation which I haven’t tried. I personally love the Maybelline 🙂
I was waiting for this….I need Nikki to tell me if I need this or not!!! 🤣
Beautiful Foundation I love the look, looks like a skin like finish
Can you compare vs Haus since that was your fav or 2022 (mine too)
I loved this honest review. I have dry skin. I love the feeling but yes tacky and all day. You are amazing!
Just stunning ❤❤❤❤
Love your review, I was waiting to purchase this until i heard your thoughts about it. I so value your honest reviews. Do you think the cream you applied prior increased the tackiness? I have that cream as well, it’s very moisturizing it’s my absolute favorite.

Love this tutorial! What was the second product you used on your skin for prep? You have BEAUTIFUL skin!
Wow the foundation looks so good on your skin!! I have combo skin, but I think it would be great for my winter foundation haha! Love your reviews!!

I got the same one. 12 (O) olive 💕
Oh my gosh…I guess I needed my GLASSES 🤓 I swore it said 120!!! I’m laughing so hard😂😂
Thank you for clearing that up and saying it so nicely!! It’s the perfect shade right?
@@Makeupbynikkilarose It’s lovely. Using it tonight for NYE… I thought the same thing until I looked closer to the shade on the Sephora site. 😊💕
Is it oil based? Will it not work well with water based concealers?
Hi would you say the 12 o is comparable more to the Haus labs 260 or 230?
There's no shade 120? There's a shade 12O (olive) ... is that what you mean?
Yes
Do you have shade references for other foundations please, thank you!
Hey girl it’s ok I find that haus lab foundation better I tried shade 8n which was perfect but it think it’s 12 olive not 120
For all my pro girlies there is a 30%off discount ❤ I’m so glad I waited for your review to try this bc I would have gotten the wrong shade
Yesss!!!! And I know I was going to purchase online with my discount but I didn’t want to make you all wait that long for this review!!
On Sephora website or his website?
Thank you! Was waiting to see your thoughts before buying this vs the haus labs
Same, I’m also the girgio Armani 😂
Do u like this more than the one from haus labs?
There seems to be some trouble with shade selection; I'm going in store for a sample first & to see shades in person. I'm excited to try it though 😃
That’s what I’ve heard too- and I’ve heard Rose @roseandben say that the cool undertone shades aren’t cool at all.. that all the shades run very warm! I’m neutral/cool depending on which foundation it is so I’m also gonna have to go in store to try a few shades before I buy it!! I was gonna purchase it online until I heard that. 🤷🏼♀️
There are no shimmery particles in the foundation. The bottle itself is shimmery so people think the shimmer is inside.
I couldn’t catch what the brand name of your moisturizer😳 Would love to try it
Naturium multipeptide moisturizer at target
@@ninoskarodriguez2328 thank you❤️
Thank you for sharing an oily perspective! Super helpful! I don’t need more stickiness to my skin 😂
I am not sure what shade you are referring to. 1C? I don’t see a 120.
Never mind! I found it. But it is actually 12 0 for Olive. That is why I was confused.
The necklace?
Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊 HugsfromNYC 🍎
Was really saddened to see Mario add shimmer/glitter to this formula, it really does enhance texture and isn’t the best for male clients. #hardpass. 😢
I heard the foundation has shimmer particles?
Fantastic review! I’m hoping to get this soon if I can in the UK. I have mature skin so I’m hoping with some powder in the right places I’ll like this🤞
❤Ana
I love a tacky feeling actually! Maybe I am a weirdo but I like to feel my skin has something on 😆
Definitely not a weirdo!! Everyone prefers something different!!
Oh no I don’t like anything sticky or tacky so I’m passing on this one it’s not going to work on my combo oily skin
Plz do the haus labs
Hi!! I did ! It’s a few videos back!
