Becca Ultimate Coverage Foundation Demo/Review

Becca Ultimate Coverage Foundation is claimed to be a full-coverage weightless liquid foundation. It retails for $44 USD ($53 CAD) and it's available in 20 shades. I received a lovely PR package from Becca Cosmetics with 5 foundations and I swatched all the shades and filmed a review using the shade Café.

Here's a demo and review of it. I also tested it out for 6.5 hours. I have combination/oily skin and for shade reference I'm in NC40-NC42 in MAC.

Review

If you have oily skin, you will love this foundation. I have oily t-zone and I was quite impressed at how I didn't look oily by end of the day. I've tested it out for 6.5 hours in this video but I've also tested it out for 12 hours and got the same result. If you have dry skin, then I'd recommend getting a sample before buying it because it can feel slightly drying.  

It's very pigmented and long wearing. It provides a great coverage but I personally don't like to build it up too much because it can easily end of looking cakey. It has a natural finish and it photographs well. It doesn't cling on dry patches but can feel slightly drying.

• Finish: Semi-matte 
• Coverage: Medium to Full Coverage

• Wear time: I tested it out for 6.5 hours in the video. I have oily t-zone but I noticed I didn't look oily by end of the day. I've also worn it at work a couple of times and the foundation looks good by end of the day and I was quite impressed by that.

• Application: I prefer applying it with beautyblender but I also liked the application with stippling brush. I do recommend using less product but it can easily end up looking cakey. Also, I do recommend applying a hydrating primer or a lot of moisturizer before because it can feel dry sometimes. In the video, I used Becca Velvet Blurring Primer - Perfecting Base on one side and noticed the application was better and I had a luminous glow, which I love.
