SurrealSkin® Luminous Hydrating Foundation
Verdict
MAKEUP BY MARIO Surrealskin Luminous Foundation applies best with a buffing motion, starting at the center of the face and spreading thin toward the perimeter. Professional makeup artist MAKEUP BY MARIO recommends mixing shades like 220, 240, and 320 for a custom neutral, building coverage in light layers. Morgan Turner (former professional wedding makeup artist) is impressed with how smoothing it is.

“I'm going to take the U F4 brush. I'm going to take the smaller side. I like to apply with the small side and blend with the large side. This is how I like to apply it. Almost like buffing.”

I'm going to take the U F4 brush. I'm going to take the smaller side. I like to apply with the small side and blend with the large side. This is how I like to apply it. Almost like buffing.
Start by the nose area, center of the face. And then as I go out and up, I spread it very thin.
I don't like to have any thick foundation around the perimeter of the face because a lot of people, I think, will put the same amount of foundation across the entire face when you don't really need to do that.5:43–5:46
I barely used it because I'm really stretching it out thin.6:45–6:51
I usually like to mix shades. 220. This one is 240. And then my favorite 320. You can see how that has more peach in it. So it's like a little bit more of a correcting shade.7:42–7:49
Gives you a nice neutral. We are going in again very light thin layer and building if necessary. You don't want to go in with a very thick layer.
