Thought of another one of her products I have.  The Wishful Genie makeup cleansing balm. 

She has medium and light weight foundations.  I got the full coverage as a sample in a Sephora order.

She sells a lot more than foundation.  I have 3 of her large eyeshadow palettes.  3 or 4 of her Kayali perfumes and a blush topper.  Maybe more but that's all I can think of right now.  The full coverage foundation is just a big NO for me.  As you can see I like a lot from her brand.

@monicakm yes, I am aware of the fact that she sells other products.  I'm speaking to the title of your thread about the foundation.  Like I stated, I've seen some youtube reviews that disagree with your opinion on how it wears.  I was also a little confused why you would make a blanket statement to tell others not to buy it based on YOUR experience with the product.  That is the reason for my statement.  There are others who like it (for whatever reason).  That's what I was trying to say.  Sorry, if that didn't come across the way it should have.

It's fine @gertrudecloset   I apologize for my blanket statement.  I had just never in 62 years experienced anything so thick and heavy and nearly unblendable.  Normally when I use makeup remover balm at the end of the day, I see very very little makeup on my washcloth.  Last night the balm couldn't remove it all and the amt of makeup on my washcloth was a LOT.  Used it once more, followed by my cleanser and powdered rice exfoliator.

It's good that the product (and others) are out there for those who want it.  I'll stick with several of her other products.

It's just a joke.

@monicakm  - can't you apply it with a damp sponge?  Maybe if you applied less and used a damp sponge, it would look better?

I don't think there's anything wrong with a "full coverage" foundation.   The difference is in the application.  I could never use my fingers to apply foundation.

I have a youtuber that I follow for makeup and she loves Huda.  I know a few others too who like that brand.  I think my main beauty youtuber might like the full coverage because she suffers from hyper pigmentation really bad.  Not sure.

There are lots of people who like Huda, otherwise, I don't think it would be in business.

I agree @gertrudecloset that many - including myself - enjoy a full coverage foundation.  I also think there's a big difference in how you apply it - using fingers, a brush, or a damp sponge.  Using a damp sponge is my preference as it tends to sheer it out a little resulting in an air brushed look.

@San Antonio Gal 

I started out dotting it on my face with my fingers and then used a damp beauty blender to finish the application.  I'm guessing all "full coverage" foundations are not created equal.  I did't even use all of the foundation in the sample bubble.  I'm not a newbie at this (g) altho I felt like one and looked like one when I finally got it all on.

And that's the exact sponge I used   I don't recall saying I used my fingers.
