Beauty Blender Bounce Liquid Whip Longwear Foundation Review (Shade 2.3)

Another foundation review? Yes please! You guys already know it’s one of my favourite makeup products to review. When I heard that Beauty Blender was coming out with a foundation, I knew I had to get my hands on it. The Beauty Blender itself was and still is, one of the most innovative and life changing products in the makeup industry. Many reasons why I wanted to try this foundation, was the fact it claimed to last up to 24 hours. 

I am currently on the market to find a foundation that lasts all day and night, as I am going to a wedding this weekend! This foundation claims to last up to 24 hours, and is suppose to have a velvet matte finish. 

Not only are you getting a foundation though, the packaging itself also is a little dish for your foundation!! I originally was using a metal plate I purchased at IMATS many years ago, but this just makes it easier since it’s all in one. I’m also loving the pearlized finish on the backside. 

If you’re worried about the foundation not properly landing onto the dish portion, they already have that all figured out. The nozzle that dispenses the foundation is angled so when you press down the pump, the product is dispensed onto the back. 

It’s super cute! I’ve never had a foundation this shape. It’s kind of big and oblong, but it’s different! There’s also a locking mechanism so you don’t accidentally dispense product when you don’t want to. I got the shade 2.3 based on my Sephora shade match. (To be honest, I last did colour match over 6 years ago, so I don’t even think it was accurate but I went with it!) 

As you can see, the product drips onto the backside so you have a spot for your Beauty Blender to dab on. So genius! 

Here is the shade on my arm. The colour 2.3 is suppose to be a medium shade with yellow undertones. The colour definitely looked darker on my arm than on my face when I applied it, but we will see if I have to change it or not, after a few more uses. 

Here is my bare ass face. I actually look pretty pale this summer, so I figured the colour could work on me. 

Okay, so with the foundation only, I felt that the colour was wayyyyyyyy too light on me. It could also be the flash, so now I’m definitely reconsidering wearing this to a wedding, since many photos will be taken. I’ll for sure have to test it more after this. 

It’s definitely whiter than most foundations I’ve tried, so I could for sure probably go for a darker shade. It’s not too bad I must say. The foundation applies on very nicely, but you do have to use a lot to get to full coverage. I used 5 pumps to achieve this look. It’s super lightweight that I didn’t feel like I was wearing make-up at all! You definitely do get a very velvety-matte finish, and I didn’t feel like it was heavy or cakey at all. 

I’m not gonna lie, I look pretty darn oily. For 10 hours though? It’s not too bad! I always have blotting sheets with me, so I could easily fix the problem. At the 6 hour mark is when I start getting oily, and this foundation lasted past that, before I had to blot my face. With some foundations, I get some weird separation around my nose, and everything gets all patchy and weird. This foundation was able to withstand all that, so I was super happy. 

UPDATE AFTER 3 DAYS OF USE: 

From my initial test, I used the foundation along with my favourite concealer, which is the Tarte Shape Tape concealer. I figured maybe if I change up my routine a bit, I could get a better idea of the actual foundation itself. I skipped using concealer, and to my surprise, it lasted WAY longer without it! 

Jump to the next day, I skipped the concealer again and then I mixed the foundation with one of my Colourpop No Filter Foundations, just so the shade would be slightly darker. I was happy to find that the formula still worked amazing and the foundation lasted all day. What I love most about this foundation is how lightweight it is. Even though my face may look like an oily mess at the end of the day, it didn't feel gross at all. Sometimes, the oil from my face mixes with the foundation, causing my face to feel really gross and heavy. I don't get this feeling at all with this foundation. I even wore it to the gym, got super sweaty, and my face still felt good. 

So does it last 24 hours? If my face was normal and didn't get as oily as it did, yeah I could totally see it lasting 24 hours. I love how lightweight it is, it's almost like you're not wearing any make-up! I love to cake on that foundation, and this one sure doesn't feel cakey at all.

Most likely this shade will end up being my winter colour, and I'll probably have to buy another shade to use for summer, but mixed with another foundation, or maybe even a lot of bronzer, I could make it work! 

Are you thinking of trying this foundation?
