What the gurus are saying

The creamy texture delivers impressive hydration and wears beautifully, with a glow that reads healthy rather than heavy or sparkly. The brush applicator is soft and reaches tricky spots well. One concern: the thicker formula can settle slightly in fine lines like the nasolabial folds, though the settling is subtle enough that most people won't notice it. Those with deeper lines may want to use a lighter hand in those areas or set with powder to keep it smooth.

"For a foundation, really impressive. It's hydrating. It looks pretty. It wears well. I was very impressed. The only thing is there's a slight amount of settling in my nasolabial fold area. The Illusion Luminous Glow is really creamy and a little bit thicker, gives more coverage, and obviously has more pigment so it's going to settle [...] in those areas. But all in all, I honestly don't think anybody could tell that I have two different complexion products on."

"I just put a little bit on the back of my hand and it looks like that shade should work for me. Let's go ahead and apply this all over the skin, going in a light layer. [...] I don't want to overdo it since I've already got two other new complexion products on today. [...] It's actually a great match. And this brush, my goodness, so soft and the perfect size to get into the hard to reach areas on the face. I'm going to bring that down the neck a little bit, then take what's left on the back of my hand with a sponge and press this into the skin. You can definitely tell it has quite a bit of glow to it, but honestly it looks really healthy on the skin, it doesn't look heavy, and it also doesn't look sparkly, which is a good thing."
