No Makeup Makeup

SurferWife — Sat, 23 May 2026 01:22:38 GMT

Hi Beauties! Have any of you tried the No Makeup Makeup? I've always wanted to find a replacement for the IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact but never have.

If you've tried it please share your feedback. Thanks!

@SurferWife , I purchased it the last time it was a TSV. I'm not very impressed. I kept it and wear it when I'm home, walking the dog or running errands. I don't wear it when I'm meeting with friends, etc. as for me the name "No Makeup" is correct. When I'm wearing it my face almost looks the same as when I'm not wearing any makeup.....meaning all of my flaws are still showing.

Thanks for that feedback. Sounds like it's a no-go for me.

I love the No Make Up makeup. I have to say, I don't have a lot of imperfections. I have two small red spots on my nose and a couple broken blood vessels on either side of my nose. I just hit them with a little concealor, wait a minute or two, and use the makeup.

It covers really well and looks so natural! You can always go over your trouble spots for extra coverage.

The only other foundation I liked this much was the original Bobbi Brown liquid foundation. I'm not so crazy about her new line.

Hope this helps.😊

Hi @SurferWife ! I really like this. I still like my Laura Geller Balance and Glow, but I was intrigued by this so I added it to my rotation. I put it on very lightly, using the 3 tap method and brushing it all over my face without using any more. I use it over sunscreen only, without a primer. I wear Light.

I spray Kosas Cloud Set Mist over my face, and this foundation stays on. I have really bad allergies. When I take a Kleenex and dab my watering eyes, it does not come off on the Kleenex! I plan to get more when I run out!

@SurferWife - I ordered it, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. You should try it. There are a lot of posters that love it.

I still use BE for my "foundation". I do not like the feel of anything on my face. I have combo skin and this NOMAKEUP looks to be greasy. Not to mention the price...Not for me.

@SurferWife - I went ahead and tried it. I should have tried it before the 30 days was up. I normally order a Medium shade in everything. This Medium is too dark for me. I'm going to have to toss it. What a waste.

It's like a cream consistency in the compact. I thought it was going to be more of a powder. It does have good coverage though. I applied it with a stippling motion and then buffed it in. I tried the puff that came with it. That didn't work out too well.

Nothing I can do about the shade. It's in the trash. Darn.

@San Antonio Gal

That's a real bummer. Buying foundation online is always a gamble, unless you've already been shade-matched. I've done that, too. Now I try it on in the store first, although I don't think this brand is sold in stores. Maybe if you have a lighter foudation color you can mix them to try to get some use out of it, or use it as a bronzer since it is too dark as a foundation.

Bad colors and way too heavy

To me, It looks like another heavier cream foundation, but more expensive! Shades look very orange too.
I can only use a very light weight liquid, on my textured skin- As we age, less is more with makeup! Especially outdoors, thicker makeup shows up badly.
I use and love Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. It's silky, light with a little coverage and SPF. If you try this one, hope you love it!

@Skyegirl21 You are correct, I found it yellow toned. I wear a light medium or medium depending on the brand. The medium was too way too dark. In a good light it is really yellow and shows up worse. Hard to blend out to look natural. I am also prefering a lighter make up, especially when warmer outside and closer to my natural skin tone.

Maybe that is why they are offering a duo? Need to get rid of stock?

I watched this whole demo the other night. I wondered who really needs a duo, especially if it is the first time you purchase......and for $99?

If they would have offered it for $39 for one and no brush, I may have tried it. After reading these posts, I am glad I didn't jump on it.

I will stick with my Laura Geller for a powder foundation. Maybelline's Uplift foudation in a stick is really nice and a good price. The concealer is good, too.

@brandiwine ...Yes, I noticed women with pink undertones looking yellowish after this makeup was applied. Seems weird to me and makes no sense.

@SurferWife I used IT in light medium, I have yellow undertones and NMM matches my skin perfectly in that same shade.

I love it! I have good skin, a bit of shadowing under the eyes and it covers everything on my face and feels like nothing. IT CC felt heavy compared to this and this covers just as well for me.
I never have to reapply this. I don't even keep an extra at work!

My first purchase was last year at this time and I'm still using that compact...just hit pan. I do switch at times with the Natural shade. It is just a teense darker but not noticeable on me. I just ordered the duo because the pricing was great.

Tried the blush and lipstick as well. They don't get the same excellent rating from me. Lipstick is a good color but it's matte and drying.

Maybe give it a try if the price is still available. And only listen to those that have tried it not those that just hypothesize about it.

There are a few regulars that have used it and given their opinions, both positive and negative. Weigh those out .. Good luck

Thank you @KBEANS!

I'm still considering it. It really looked great on the models. The color undertones are what concern me. I am a light to light-medium with cool undertones and the NMM undertones seem warm online.

I appreciate your feedback!

Did not try SurferWife, but still love Armani's!

Bought after your awesome reviews!

Have a great Memorial Day!

Re: No Makeup Makeup

SurferWife — Sun, 24 May 2026 22:53:15 GMT

@weez1987

Agreed, Armani Luminous Silk is the absolute best. I'm running low on mine and decided to try Dior Forever Skin Glow. While it is fabulous, too, Armani still takes the gold!

Re: No Makeup Makeup

Dior looks awesome too, SurferWife!

Enjoy!!!
