Foundation Review: Flower Beauty Light Illusion Luminous Makeup Nude Skin Feel

Today's review is for the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Luminous Makeup Nude Skin Feel in Porcelain L1




Availability: This retails at just around $14-15 for 30 mL (1 fl oz) and can be purchased at ulta.com and walgreens.com and cvs.com along with their respective physical store locations as well as at flowerbeauty.com

Would I buy this? Yes.

What is this product? What is it supposed to do?
Let's quote from flowerbeauty.com, shall we?
Light Illusion is a breakthrough foundation that achieves the impossible; provides you with medium to buildable coverage to smooth and perfect, while imparting your skin with the most flattering soft luminosity imaginable. All with a weightless, nude skin feel. Imperfections and uneven skin-tone are diminished. Only a flawless, smooth, and incredibly natural complexion is revealed.
Lightweight & breathable formula blends effortlessly 
Matches seamlessly & wears endlessly
Broad Spectrum SPF 18


Does this come in any other shade than the one pictured above?
This is currently available in 12 shades.

What's the coverage/consistency like?
I would say this has a medium-full, very buildable coverage with a very dewy, luminous finish.

Does this have any beneficial ingredients in it?
Glycerin  which is a humectant and draws moisture in from the environment.
Octinoxate 5%, Titanium Dioxide 2%, Zinc Oxide 4.9% as sunscreen.

Is this scented?
This is unscented.

What has my experience with the product been like?
Pros:
-Consistency is really smooth, easy to blend and apply
-Lightweight
-Good coverage
- Beautiful dewy finish leaves skin looking smooth
Cons:
- the lightest color (which is the one I bought) is just a hint dark for me - it'll probably work in the summertime; folks are saying that it oxidizes on them but I set mine with a powder and I feel like it minimizes the oxidation somewhat.
Update as of March 2022: There is now a lighter shade called Shell.
- the above said, this moves when you try to set it so I feel that it ends up providing less coverage
Alright so honestly I really like this foundation and would really love to also get a bottle of my beloved L'Oreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup so I can compare them side by side and decided which one I like better. I love the finish and the coverage it provides, I love how easily it applies on the skin and blends. My biggest beef really is that the color is a bit off and that setting it with powder knocks off some of the coverage.

What do I use to apply the product?
I apply this with  my Crown brush beauty blender knockoff.

I feel as though this review is pretty thorough but please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.
