I wanted to love this, but honestly... didn't

Profile: Light-fair skin, oily t-zone but mostly dry skin, and sensitive skin.

I bought this product online a while back in two colours (online purchases are not great for makeup that way). I've never had a natural foundation and since I love Burt's Bee products overall I was eager to give this a shot. First off, looking at the product - the consistency is good for blending, it definitely has a bit of a funky sweet smell that dissipates however after application, and the colour (once I got the right one) was a decent match.

I tend to apply this product in small amounts with a brush or my fingers, and I find that it tends to crease or spread poorly in more "oily" areas of my face - such as the chin, and under eyes. I haven't found a way to fix this and tend to use it very infrequently due to this issue. Overall, I would probably try a different natural foundation brand over this one that better suits my skin quality. This product wasn't super cheap either - which makes it a bit more disappointing.

Burts bees goodness glows foundation

I was really looking forward to trying this foundation, it didnt dissappoint but at the same time i am not super happy with it. it creases easily under the eyes and it goes into any facial creases but at the upside is it gives you a great glow and has good coverage. i would recommend thias product but it really depends on the look you want if glowy then yes. just make sure its well blended under eyes.

truly is full coverage!

I have combination skin prone to break outs, but I also work in a beauty boutique which means I need to wear glam makeup. This foundation has never made me break out and truly does deliver a full, beautiful glowy coverage! Only issue is it has a slight smell, which I don't prefer in my products.

Love this product

the price is quite high but i stll love this product it covers the skin nicly and you dont need alot to cover your face lots of shades,it is ease for it to come off so if you cry then it moves

A good foundation for a natural look

the Burts bees foundations don't come in many shades so it is hard to find one that is the best match. it also doesn't have good coverage like other foundations do. I liked it because it did give me a natural look for a casual day look its not really for party looks.Also it did not irritate my face and i did not break out into acne on my face after wearing it for a long time. it is also a bit pricey.

Kind of a miss

I really don't know how to feel about this foundation. I think it can work for some people, but it just really didn't work all that well for me. I have normal skin, with a little bit of dryness at my nose, and this was super slippery, it slid off my face in many spots (though it stayed on around my nose). I think this would be a good foundation for someone with super dry skin, because even the slightest bit of oil on my skin seemed to make it fall off. Even paired with a great primer and setting powder it moved way too much. Overall it wasn't the worst foundation I've tried, but it definitely was not designed for normal to oily skin!

98.9% Natural

I saw that my local Shopper’s was carrying the Burt’s Bees makeup, so I had to take a look after seeing some reviews online. The foundation was only slightly above $20 and the lightest shade matched perfectly, so I bought it. I’m pretty picky with my foundation, as are most women, so I was excited yet unsure but figured “it’s only $20”. Here’s my take ...

- 98.9% natural ingredients which makes me feel good about putting it on my face
- says it’s medium to full coverage, I would agree, depending on your application
- really thick, creamy texture
- dries down quickly


Unfortunately for me, this foundation didn’t quite work out. I tried many different ways but it kept collecting in my pores and would separate. I personally don’t think it’s good for dry skin, so I’m going to try again in the summer. I may even switch and use this as a concealer because it has that tackiness to it like a concealer does. Overall, I think this a great product in concept, at a great price point. I highly suggest trying it out if you are a drug store makeup girl.
