Review 1 for Instant Radiance Foundation
My favorite foundation
-05.20.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
When I first started wearing this everyone commented on how smooth and flawless my skin looked. This is my absolute favorite foundation, I do not know how I went so long prior to using this product!

Review 2 for Instant Radiance Foundation
Nice Price Awesome product
-05.15.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, lightweight
I really like this foundation which I sometimes use just to cover up my red spots. Its a great price, SUPER Lightweight, and had like a dewy finish which I like. After about 2 to 3 hours it starts to look oily.

Review 3 for Instant Radiance Foundation
Love this foundation
-05.12.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
Its been years since I've worn a liquid makeup. I was hesitant, but after trying it at the store I figured I'd give it a try. I'm 47 and have sun-damaged skin and this foundation does a fairly good job evening out my skin tone. The only way to completely cover it is to spackle my face first (I do use a primer). I am breaking out, but the weather has changed and I'm dealing with the end of semester finals and stressed about graduating with honors, so I can't say its the makeup for sure.

Review 5 for Instant Radiance Foundation
Is NOT long lasting
-05.09.13
Quick Take: oil-free
I like that this is the first foundation to not dry my skin out or make it super oily. It also doesn't take much application to have a smooth, clear complexion. Basically, a little goes a long way. However, I have a problem with the length of wear time. I put the foundation on first thing in the morning and it will be worn off by around 1 in the afternoon. I begin to see my acne scars which is why I decided to give foundation another try. This product was okay while it lasted, but I am definitely in the market to find a new foundation and will not be going back to this one.

Review 6 for Instant Radiance Foundation
-05.09.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I love this foundation. It lasts all day and looks more natural than any other foundation I have used. It goes on smooth and evens out my red complexion. The only thing stopping me from giving this a five star review is that it doesn't have SPF.

Review 8 for Instant Radiance Foundation
divaconfessions
Perfect pick
-05.04.13
I was about to go check out and I had a makeup forever foundation I had tried and liked but I had other this and I was hoping to buy a cheaper foundation . I was browsing sephora brand and tested the tan 35 bronze and it was an exact match to the makeup forever one . I decided to get the sephora brand instead. I wear it everyday. I had it for 3 weeks now. I do spot coverage lightly on weekdays and if I'm going out I will apply a little extra. It's perfect. Not oily and it last all day on me. Its a keeper !! This is my new foundation at a great price and I love the pump on it

Review 10 for Instant Radiance Foundation
wonderful!
-05.04.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free
I love this product for my everyday and special occasion coverage needs. I have never found a perfectly matched shade of foundation before, but I finally got it! The sales associate was very helpful in my shade choice. It lasts many hours with a translucent powder over it for staying power, which also helps to mattify the dewy sheen for work or going out.

Review 14 for Instant Radiance Foundation
compareable to MUFE #135
-04.26.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free, value for price, need to check about 3-4 hrs in to check for oil, in the t-zone, compareable-ish to mufe #135
ok so this is my fav (STORE BRAND) foundation. its a pink toned one. most are ashy or yellow undertones. i like this one because it makes my skin happy looking if that makes sence. i go tanning once a week at the most to keep the superpales away. but i can wear this foundation winter through summer.
its a full covererage oil free base. i apply with a kabuki brush lightly an blend. makeup foundtation brushes (the flat ones) arent the best if you want to go to a brush, they lay heavy amounts. the kabuki works perfect.
i put about 4-5 pumps in my hand an tap the brush on it, not soaking or filling the brush. then tap to each cheek, forehead and chin. then blend. the more you blend the better. it lightens a bit as it dries. then i do my neck and once its all on i see if i need any extra coverage anywhere, around my nose or under eyes. i blend this over my lids too.
then i take a makeup pouf, sort of a flat cotton covered pad, and tap down any heavy areas and help push the foundtation into the skin, also blends any lines from the brush you might not see right away.
perfect to then apply my contours and rest of makeup. it does last, but i do find my t-zone does get a bit oily after a few hrs wearing this opposed to the MUFE product. but in a pinch since my store didnt have the MUFE #135 i got this after searching the WHOLE store of a brand that matched the MUFE color. (i had a swatch on my hand an kept going around applying foundations next to it an finally went to the store brand display and chose this. im not gonna spend $50 on a dior or some other high end stuff when i already was set to pay $40 for the MUFE!!!)
so price an function an color were a big deal that day, and this was a great choice.

Review 15 for Instant Radiance Foundation
tricia1827

Quick Take: ok
I have order this several times. Like a different brand but it was just way too much. I had tried several times before Christmas to have it shipped but was out of stock in this color and other colors as well called to see when it was gonna be back in stock was told they will not be selling this anymore. 4 months went by and I went to see if they still carried it and by surprise it was backing to shipping. So I order it since I have in the past. Well open it shake it up to blend and what happens the foundation is in a smaller tube which wasn't put in right. So the tube of color flew out and broke a picture frame. Disappointed in really how much you get. I am gonna buy the other brand also for the color and the bottle.

Review 16 for Instant Radiance Foundation
iheartsephora09
BEST Foundation
-04.25.13
I think I have tried every foundation Sephora sells. I usually opt for a very full coverage foundation. I would say this foundation offers medium coverage. However, it is the foundation I have tried! Ivory is the perfect color for my pale skin and blends so easily there is no tell-tale signs around the jawline or forehead that I wearing foundation. Great thing about this foundation is the ease of application. Lately I have found many other foundations to require application with a brush. With Sephora's Pure Radiance that is not the case. I simply get a great look when applied with my fingers/hands. I also had been adding a liquid highlighter to my other foundations for a glowing look. Again, this was not necessary with Pure Radiance! I get the ease of application, medium to full coverage with a glowing effect and has made Pure Radiance my go-to foundation!!!

Quick Take: long wearing
Sephora is a great foundation. I like it as well as other higher end brands (like Bobby Brown, Urban Decay). And it's a great price. Goes on well and stays on well. My only complaint is about 30% of product does not come out with pump. I hate to waste-- so I just use a make up brush to get it all out before purchasing next one!

Review 18 for Instant Radiance Foundation
First Liquid Foundation
-04.25.13
This is the first liquid foundation I have used, and I like it well enough. It is very yellowy for my pink undertones, so I used a light pink Bare Minerals radiance as a setting powder to make me look less yellowed out. It goes on smoothly, but does take a minute to sink in. My brush leaves it streaky initially and it isn't until I use circular brush strokes to set it that it really blends in. I am hoping to switch to a BB cream soon.

Review 19 for Instant Radiance Foundation
Really nice finish.
-04.24.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I really like everything about this foundation. I've never gotten such a nice soft glow before. It hasn't caused a single breakout and washes off easily at the end of the day. There is no smell which is fantastic since I am very sensitive to perfumes. It seems like it will last a long time. I usually mix a tiny bit of moisturizer in it to help blend it out and look more natural so I only use one pump. I think I'll stick with this over the Clinique I was using before. I do wish I would have gone to the store to get color matched though. I got the nude shade and it was a bit too much on the warm side for me. Still, it blends out nice and isn't noticeable to anyone else but me.
