My Review of Sweed Glass Skin Foundation

I have been testing out this foundation for a few days and I have to say, I like it a lot.

Packaging

The packaging is really nice. It’s a minimal and sleek plastic bottle that fits easily into your makeup bag. You simply squeeze out the product and it’s neat and mess-free.

Shades

There are 15 shades in the range which I have listed above. They are arranged across undertones which is always helpful and there’s a mix of warm, cool, and neutral. I’m usually a light neutral and I found my perfect match in shade 5, which blended seamlessly into my skin.

Application & Finish

I have been using a brush to apply this, as I do with all my foundations, and my favourite brush, my REESON No. 1* is perfect for it. It works especially well for this as it has a small end for concealing, and the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation can also be used like a concealer.

This formula blends effortlessly into the skin and it delivers a dewy but not oily finish. It give a flawless and healthy look to the skin, without the appearance of obvious makeup.

Coverage

This is a medium buildable formula and I find that a little goes quite a long way and can very quickly even out the skin, cover redness and blur out imperfections. You can build up coverage really easily by adding a light layer so it actually doubles really nicely as a concealer.

Wear Test

On my combination skin, this wore beautifully throughout the day. I got a good 8 hours of glowy wear, with no clinging or patchiness.

Dry skins will love this, and if you are oily, you might want to set it with a bit of powder.

Final Thoughts

I’m impressed with the Sweed Glass Skin Foundation and it pretty much gives me everything I want from a dewy base. There’s glow, comfort, hydration, and you just get that that effortless your-skin-but-better look.

If you love radiant, lightweight, skincare-infused foundations, I think you could love this.

If you are looking to try any other Sweed products, I also love their Lash Serum. For more info on that, read Sweed Beauty Eyelash Growth Serum Review.
