Nikki Reed is passionate about natural, sustainable and low-key beauty. (She did her own hair and makeup for NewBeauty’s December cover shoot!) The actress, activist, singer-songwriter and designer is a veritable source of clean beauty brands, and counts Merit Beauty, River Organics and Odacité among some of her favorites. When it comes to makeup, Reed has high praise for one foundation in particular: ILIA’s True Skin Serum Foundation ($54).
The Thirteen star raved about the weightless, medium-coverage product, calling it the “best foundation.” Its award-winning formua features active levels of smoothing niacinamide and soothing allantoin so pores appear minimized, and redness is quieted. The result? Skin looks better while wearing it and over time. Just like you, “but more polished,” according to the brand.
One of the nearly 4,000 five-star reviewers on ILIA’s website said they began using True Skin Serum Foundation due to pregnancy-related “melasma and dark spots.” After using, the 45-year-old “truly never looked back” because “I get compliments on my skin ALL THE TIME.” A shopper in her 50s loves that the foundation “feels silky and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin.” Another reviewer rated it “10/10” and called it “absolute perfection.” The same shopper wrote, “I have tried them all, Chanel, Dior, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, and nothing comes close.”
The celebrity-used and shopper-loved True Skin Serum Foundation is available in 30 shades, and is fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested and safe for sensitive skin. For a skin-perfecting, breathable, clean foundation with a natural finish, head to ILIA.com to shop.
