What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage

For lasting wear, prep skin with a few drops of True Skin Radiant Priming Serum (sold separately), allowing 60 seconds for it to sink in.
Shake well. Uncap bottle and dispense one to two pumps into your hand. Blend into skin with your fingers, a makeup sponge, or a brush. Build your coverage by applying another thin layer wherever needed. Finish by pressing your palms against your skin to help the formula melt in.

Ilia

Sasha Plavsic founded ILIA after her mother—a pioneer of health and wellness—encouraged her to read the ingredients on the label of her favorite lip balm. She was shocked to discover that many of the ingredients weren’t safe. Sasha set out to recreate her favorite lip balm with clean, skin-centric ingredients, and the idea for ILIA was born.

Reviews

Lightweight!

"I've been using this daily for about a month now and am enjoying it so far. It's very lightweight, and it gives a refined and healthy natural look, which I really like. It covers redness well and helps to even out skin tone. A little can go a long way; when applying with my fingers, it can be prone to streaking, so just make sure to blend it well. Don't use too much, or it may settle into creases (I've noticed this around my eyes when squinting/smiling). It does absorb well, is great for dry skin, and wears well throughout the day."

— Stephanie G. (4/5)

Favorite Foundation

"I love this foundation. It’s very sheer but if you get the right color that matches your skin tone, it looks like your skin but simply enhances it. You can layer it but not what I would personally use for a fuller coverage foundation. This is my favorite daily foundation!"

— Andrea W. (5/5)

Smooth & great for aging

"Gen X need this product. It’s amazing!"

— Em W. (5/5)

100% recommend

"Perfect for a flawless full coverage look. I love how smooth my skin looks after I apply this."

— Candida (5/5)

Love this brand

"This has been my go to foundation branf for a while now. I just bought my 6th bottle -- I dont know if I have ever done that before! Obsessed with Credo& they always have it in stock (:"

— Dominique G. (5/5)

Has a nice feel

"It actually lives up to its name. When I apply it to my skin it doesn't feel like a foundation at all. This serum is lightweight and gets absorbed quickly and evens the skin tone. It doesn't have a very pleasant smell as it's fragrance free."

— Sonia T. (4/5)

Good

"This isn't my favorite foundation but it is ok."

— Isabelle (4/5)

nice finish

"This has just the right amount of coverage and feels hydrating."

— Daryl S. (5/5)

Nice foundation

"Good coverage and shade. It's more sheer and less buildable than I usually like, but it looks very natural, which is what I wanted."

— Jenna (5/5)

Not great

"Product is too watery. I'm a light-medium neutral and tried 2 different light shades, both are very orange and darker than "light" should be. It smells weird and very strong, so it's difficult to wear having to smell it all day."

— Jessica M. (1/5)

Q&A

I’m wondering about the scent. I noticed a review mentioning a rose scent. Is the foundation very fragrant?
Hey there! I would say the scent of this product is very subtle. There is no added fragrance so it does not smell like perfume or anything. It smells like a combination of oils, and is very mild.
Is this foundation good for oily skin?
Hi there! The ingredients of this foundation are great for oily skin and will in fact help to balance oil production. However, the finish is on the dewy side and does not dry matte (if that is what you are looking for). Hope this helps to clarify a bit!
For fuller coverage, what would be the best primer to use underneath this?
Hello! For a fuller coverage look, I might recommend the Alima Pure Smooth + Prime Primer as it's more on the matte side: https://credobeauty.com/products/alima-pure-smooth-prime
I think I might be between shades. A perfect match for me is Tart Rainforest of the Sea light sand..can you let me know what that would be equivalent to in Ilia Thank you Diane
Hello! I think that the closest color to the shade that you currently wear in Tarte is Tavarua in the Ilia True Skin Serum foundation. Of course, it's hard to make any guarantees, but this looks pretty close! Hope this helps :)
How many ounces is it?
Hello! This product is 1 oz. :)
