It’s 2017 and dewy skin is still on top of everyone’s beauty list. If you’ve exhausted your supply of highlighters and illuminating powders give Nykaa’s new SKINGenius liquid foundation a shot. Not only is it super lightweight, it also gives you good coverage, and lit-from-within-glow (what you’d call ‘LIT!’). And thanks to Hyaluronic acid, the foundation keeps your face hydrated and plumps up fine lines. Their 5 shades are tailored to match Indian skin tones and our hot weather conditions, which means it will stay put through the most humid days.
We got the 3 ELLE Team members to try it out. Read on to know more:
Salva Mubarak, Senior Features Writer (Digital)
Shade: 03 Warm Sand
Why you love it: My biggest problem with foundations has always been that most of them feel heavy on my face and I’m never able to find the right shade. When I found a perfect match amongst the Nykaa foundations, I knew it was a great sign. The formula is lightweight and blends easily. The best part? I forgot I was wearing foundation within a few hours and didn't need any touch-ups through the day.
Trisha Chawla, Beauty Assistant
Shade: 02 Almond Beige
Why you love it: I usually favour mattifying foundations to keep a check on my oily skin. While they work well for times when I need full coverage, they also feel really cakey and make my skin appear flakey. The next-to-nothing feeling of Nykaa’s foundation is what makes it a winner. It also gives a natural glow, without being excessively shiny.
Divya Gursahani, Fashion Assistant
Shade: 01 Pure Ivory
Why you love it: I love a good hydrating foundation for my dry skin. And this one from Nykaa gets everything right: I can easily blend it with my fingers, it doesn't give me an oily T-zone, and is comfortable enough to wear through the day.
