I wanted to love this so badly. Too cakey.

This is a full coverage liquid that can not be blended and goes on as thick as paint. I have very light skin and no matter how much time I put into trying to blend it, it comes out looking very very chalkey. I really love the idea of a natural foundation since Im using it nearly everyday, but the search continues for a natural and beautiful foundation. Im sorry Burts Bees, I literally love every single makeup product you've put out. But this the only one that wasted my money.

Average

The foundation has a distinct “smelly socks” smell that fades away after application. The shade matches my colour, after hours wear on closeup it looks a little cakey and dry even with facial moisturizer applied before the foundation.

Burt Bees Chestnut

I brought the color 1060 Chestnut. It's a little to orange for my skin color. Plus I did not like to way it dried onto my skin and it changed the texture of my skin as well.

Overpriced and Ineffective

I was given the BURT'S BEES GOODNESS GLOWS LIQUID MAKEUP to review for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I was not impressed by it. I love the Burt's Bees brand and am a huge fan of their lip care lines. I couldn't wait to try their brand new makeup line but unfortunately the foundation fell short.

First, the smell was overpowering and disgusting. I am not joking when I say it smells like dog poop. That is all I could smell and think about. It spreads very easily on the skin as it is pretty thin and two coats will give you a nice medium coverage. The product is really hard to blend (I used a beauty blender) and found that it always looked streaky. I had a primer underneath but my primer looks amazing with every single other foundation I have ever tried. I set the product with the Burt's Bees mattifying powder and found myself still looking 'wet' and greasy. The foundation is a dewy finish but it does not look natural or normal. The foundation separated terribly throughout the day, settled into my fine lines and my oils seeped through. No amount of re-blending or powder could cover it up. I had a function after wearing the foundation all day and I actually went home and took it off and went to the function bare faced as I felt more comfortable.

The foundation is super lightweight and you truly cannot feel it on your skin which is awesome. It is 98.9% natural and free from parabans, phthalates, talc and many other terrible things found in most beauty products. It comes in 12 shades which is a great start for a new foundation line. Overall I would not purchase this again nor would I recommend it to any of my family and friends. For $20 a bottle I cannot see any reason that this would be worth it over other foundations. I love what they are doing with the natural beauty and natural products, but their recipe needs some editing. I also think they should create a primer in their makeup line as well to go with the foundation!
