Ilia earns strong reviews as a clean, skin-first makeup brand that delivers a believable no-makeup finish—standouts include the Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, Limitless Lash and Fullest mascaras, multi-sticks, and lip oils—while recurring complaints cite oily or overly dewy wear, scent issues, flaking/smudging mascaras, and gaps in deeper shade range. Reviews of Ilia also highlight hydrating textures, SPF and skincare actives, and easy application, contrasted with packaging quirks (leaky droppers), occasional poor longevity, and certain products (liquid eyeshadows, some foundations) that don’t suit oily or combo skin.
I have used the same brands for the past 100 years LOL… then I found ILIA! Their SPF 40 tinted serum not only hides little imperfections and protects from sun rays, its ingredients are also very healthy, in my opinion! The same for the Thru Line waterproof eyeliner: it is precise, just right in texture/softness and easy to apply. It stays!
The skin tint is so great. I used it for years and then tried other products for a while and finally decided to return to it. I can't believe I ever stopped! It's so light but gives good coverage, dewy skin, and somehow looks blurring and smooth. I'm back to being a loyalist.
I love Ilia eye liner! The texture is so soft and it doesn't irritate sensitive eye skin. It is easy to apply and blend it if you desire. It lasts all day and doesn't run or smudge in the heat. I got it in shade Gesture and it's a pretty chocolate color with matte finish.
Beautiful tint! It looks like my own skin but perfect, without cakey heavy makeup sensation. After application it gives my skin radiance and that glow from within. The texture is runny and very hydrating, it's easy to apply and blend. The coverage is light to medium. I love that it has skin caring ingredients and SPF.
