Hi Guys,

(You can check out my post on the Too Faced event HERE). I have been using these products for the past month or so. Keep reading to learn more about the products and my experience with each.

Too Faced Born This Way Undetectable Medium to Full Coverage Foundation $39.00
Review: Too Faced Born This Way Complexion Line
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Inspired by "I woke up like this" perfection, Too Faced Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Jerrod Blandino set out on a mission to create a foundation so undetectable you can go ahead and lie with beautifully natural coverage that will have everyone thinking you were Born This Way."

Infused with:

  • Coconut Water: Aids in delicately replenishing skin's moisture levels
  • Alpine Rose: Helps empower skin's health and resilience
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Gives a smoother, more youthful appearance
Features/Benefits:
  • Medium-to-full, undetectable coverage
  • Hydrating
  • Longwearing
  • Photo friendly/No flashback
  • Non-comedogenic
  • Oil-free
  • Coconut water aids in delicately replenishing skin's moisture levels
  • Alpine Rose helps empower skin's health and resilience
  • Hyaluronic acid gives a smoother, more youthful appearance
  • Cruelty free
On to my thoughts:
I really like this foundation! I agree that it has a medium coverage that is buildable to full coverage. It is long wearing but it doesn't last quite as long as some of my other long wearing foundations. It does feel hydrating. I would say its a natural finish. It's not matte but not dewy either. I do need to set it to get a more matte coverage as well as to prolong the wear time of the foundation. I definitely see oil come through in my t-zone at the 5-6 hour mark but it't not awful. There is a little breakdown in my t-zone by the end of the day but that happens with most foundation that I wear. My chin and nose are usually the first two spots to break down. The shade I have is a spot on match for my skin tone and my face looks pretty flawless when paired the the concealer and powder. If you are looking for a medium to full coverage foundation with a natural finish I highly suggest that you give this a try!

Review: Too Faced Born This Way Complexion Line

Smooths and sculpts skin for natural-looking coverage.

On to my thoughts:
This is one of my favorite concealers. I have it in a few different shades. It has amazing coverage and lasts all day. I agree that it doesn't look dry or cakey. I also haven't noticed any creasing either. I have also used this all over as a foundation before too. The applicator is a nice shape which I prefer over other applicators. Overall I highly recommend this concealer.

Too Faced Born This Way Undetectable Medium to Full Coverage Powder Foundation $37.00

Review: Too Faced Born This Way Complexion Line
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Too Faced Born This Way Undetectable Medium-to-Full Coverage Powder Foundation is a 3-in-1 powder foundation that can be used alone for an easy natural coverage or over liquid foundation to set makeup or add additional coverage. Get naturally radiant, flawlessly smooth skin in seconds, and touch up on-the-go with this do-it-all long-wear powder foundation. Infused with skin-loving coconut water, hyaluronic acid, and alpine rose, it's complexion perfection with full coverage so undetectable, they'll think you were Born This Way."

Infused with:

  • Coconut Water: Aids in delicately replenishing skin's moisture levels
  • Alpine Rose: Helps empower skin's health and resilience
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Gives a smoother, more youthful appearance
Benefits:
  • Oil free
  • Controls shine
  • Long-wearing for 12 hours
  • Blurs the look of imperfections
  • Hides redness and discoloration
  • Creamy and comfortable powder formula
  • 2-in-1 sponge for different coverage levels
  • Cruelty free
  • Vegan friendly
On to my thoughts:
I think this is a good powder to set your foundation but I wouldn't call it a full coverage foundation. It doesn't cover quite like a liquid foundation. It does help hide redness and imperfections but I would call this a light coverage on its own that you can build to a medium coverage depending on application. It pairs very nice with the liquid foundation and does help control shine. If you prefer powder foundations over liquid foundations then you might like this by itself. I just prefer more coverage than just a powder alone. 

Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Loose Setting Powder $33.00

Review: Too Faced Born This Way Complexion Line
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
"Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Loose Setting Powder is a silky, lightweight powder that sets makeup while providing a veil of perfecting luminosity for a finish so natural they'll think you were Born This Way."

Benefits:

  • Helps brighten and boost skin's radiance
  • Hyaluronic Acid gives a smoother, more youthful appearance
  • Photo friendly/No flashback
  • Non-Comedogenic
  • Cruelty free
On to my thoughts:
I like this setting powder but I don't love it as much as my Laura Mercier setting powder. It does brighten the under eye but it leaves that area looking a bit dry for me. Setting spray does help with that a little bit. I also like that it has a yellow tint and isn't straight white.

Here are swatches of each product:
