The shimmer sticks are amazing. They provide the perfect amount of color and glow for a natural, dewy look.

I love Ilia! Their mascara and blush are superb!

I have used a lipstick and a skin tint from this brand. The skin tint gave good coverage but I had to stop using it because it was so oily. Like so, so oily. It did not feel good after a full day of wear and was extremely shiny. Also, I tried a couple of shades and neither was a real match to my skin tone. The lipstick was nice, but I would hesitate before trying more of their products.

I have tried several different items from Ilia, including the brow products, the all-in one- color stick, and a few others. The all-over-color stick is great, easy to use and can be applied to the cheeks and lips. This is a good natural, sustainable brand.

I use the skin tint often and love it. It is a little oily at first but really settles into the skin. I graduated to this from Glossier’s skin tint and it’s coverage is much better as well as the color matching.

Loved their blush sticks; it blended well on my skin and added just the right amount of color to my cheeks

I tried one of their liquid eyeshadows in a sample box. It was an okay product, but didn't intrigue me enough to purchase more from the brand.

I’ve tested the mascara and the lip and cheek stick and they are both super !!! In particular the lip and cheek stick : he’s super natural he feels super smooth on this skin (a bit sticky at the beginning, but after he’s super) he hold well and the shade I’ve tested is incredible because the colour is super cute and has glitters so it makes highlights and it’s so beautiful !! It’s a bit expensive but if you don’t have it run to buy it, it’s completely worth of money !!! The mascara is also cool, it makes incredible lashes, but it don’t damage they This brand makes eco products so it’s 100% yes

I love the mascara and the lipstick. Foundation I love too for the few times I wear it. Great products

I love this brand, their foundation is the best! It’s a bit too oily, it gives you unnecessary shine in summer, but overall I love it! I think I have used 15-18 bottles so far!

I bought Ilia limitless mascara, brow tint, and lipstick because they are gluten free. The lipstick with the least orange in it was still too orange for my skin tone. The brow tint that was my favorite and repeatedly purchased item was discontinued. The mascara makes my eyelashes look fantastic, but at the end of the day, my eyelashes hurt. I can’t guess why.

I use their tinted product. The smell could be better but it’s lightweight and sheer. It’s really nice.

I love this makeup brand, really moisturizes my skin and I no longer breakout when using makeup. Some of their formulas are a bit too greasy for my skin, but nevertheless I make them work. 100% recommend!

I’m obsessed with Ilia’s foundation, highlighter and mascara. I love that they’re clean and cruelty-free, and while pricy, they perform as well as conventional makeup.

Wish their full product lines were sold in more retailers. I can only find at Credo Beauty!

Love the whole line for my "mature" skin. The formulas leave skin dewey looking. The Serum Skin Tint is my favorite Ilia product - spf, "your skin but better" natural look, hydrating & treating. The only down side is I don't like the dropper function, but I've read it has to be that way for some reason, so fine, I'm not going to hold it against a great product and it's really not that big of a deal anyway. BONUS: Very LGBTQ supportive ad campaign. What's not to like here? OH! And they have a great, super-duper inky black-black mascara. Love them.

I love the super serum skin tint, I always get compliments on my skin when I wear it. I don't like full coverage foundation and I love that this makes my skin look clear and dewy. It also seemed to last me forever, I just finished a bottle and as much as I like to try new things, I can't find anything that seems better than this, so I have to rebuy. I haven't tried anything else, but I would like to based on how much I like the skin tint.

I really love this line. The colors, texture is PERFECT for my skin type, and love how clean and sustainable the ingredients are. Highly recommend! Just purchased the mascara, eyeshadow palette as well as lip balm, which is so shiny and nourishing xx

I love this brand. It is the only natural brand that CONSISTENTLY has great products all around. I particularly love their mascaras, brow gel, and multi-sticks :)

I would love to see more non-shimmer options for the eyes!

I have their highlighter that I've been using for ages. I love that the ingredients are reliable unlike most makeup brands. Also the highlighter is subtle but effective!

Feedback

I would love to try more of their stuff but wish it was more easily available - like in Sephora Spain.

I think their serum is great! It has just enough coverage for me and doesn’t make me break out. I have sensitive skin so it is important to have noncomedogenic and spf makeup, but usually spf makes me break out. This works very well. The eyeshadow liquid doesn’t work very well, though. The applicator isn’t sufficient so you’ll need to blend it out with a brush and if you have moisture or it doesn’t dry completely it comes off in clumps.

Feedback

In my opinion, the liquid eyeshadow applicator should be usable alone and should dry like a powder so that it doesn’t “roll” off.
