Hello beauties, when a beauty brand announces they’re launching a new foundation, they immediately capture my attention. I am always wanted to know the shade range, new formula, and price points the brand can offer. One of the latest brand Kay Beauty recently launched a foundation - Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation.

I have been using Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation for quite some time now & ready with my thoughts. So, let’s dive right into the review. Before starting a review, let's see

What The Brand Say About Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation

Nothing against lipsticks and eyeshadows, but it’s really a foundation that’s the backbone of any makeup look. Whether you’re going for subtle glam or high-impact drama, your foundation can create the perfect base.

Count on this foundation to take you from work to play with its buttery smooth texture that feels like a second skin. You can take your pick from 20 different shades that are suited for every Indian skin tone and undertones, and glides on like a dream.

The Shade Range of Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation

The Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation comes in 20 different shades that are suited for every Indian skin tone. The brand has coded their shade names in this manner as it can help us find our skin match while shopping online like each shade name comes with a shade number, a letter to denote the undertone of the foundation, and a shade name that denotes how light or dark the shade is (Light, Medium, Tan, Deep), just like as shown in the picture. The shade range is pretty diversified and there is a shade for pretty much everyone.

I bought shade from this range 145N Medium which matched almost perfectly with my skin tone.

Packaging Of Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation

This hydrating foundation comes in a round transparent glass bottle with a white sturdy cap and the best part is that it has a pump which allows us the control the amount of product we need to dispense. I’d suggest you not throw away the outer packaging because the outer cardboard box has a lining of foam inside to ensure that the bottle does not break during transit and it will be great for traveling purposes. 

My Review on Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation

After my Maybelline Superstay Full Coverage Foundation which was a decent and full coverage one, I have been using Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation for quite some time now. This foundation has a hydrating formula that is enriched with avocado and mango butter.

Next review will be on Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

The consistency of the foundation is just like any other foundation it's neither too thick nor too thin. It is liquidy, creamy that feels cooling and hydrating on the skin. It blends so seamlessly and gives medium coverage. I tried it on my acne spot and the spot just faded, however, it wasn't invisible. But offers a skinlike finish without looking cakey or streaky. So if you've got blemishes, heavy dark circles, spots, and pigmentation, it will not cover all that. This is an everyday foundation. It's a hydrating foundation and gives a natural finish to the skin. When I applied two layers of foundation, it didn't feel heavy at all on my skin. It didn't oxidize on my skin. It's a lightweight foundation. But it does not give high coverage. It lasts quite long without many touch-ups frequently. It gives a dewy fresh look.

Another good thing is that this hydrating foundation sets within minutes and is almost transfer-proof. It is a blessing for those wearing makeup under masks. 

Pros:

• Light-weight and creamy
• Long-lasting
• Hydrating on skin
• Blends easily
• Gives a natural look
• Sheer to medium coverage
• Cruelty-free, paraben-free, paraffin-free, vegan
• User-friendly packaging
• Perfect foundation for all skin type

Cons:

• Doesn't give a high coverage
• Expensive

Recommendation

If you are looking for an everyday kind of foundation which is very comfortable on the skin and gives a fresh, nice hydrating finish then definitely go for this. Overall it's a good foundation and by using along with other products, it will give a nice dewy base.
