Revealer Foundation SPF 25

5.0 • 5 Reviews

Before purchasing the Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation, I had been using the same Tarte foundation for a decade. When I ran out, I decided to try something new with these criteria: clean-er/ish formulation, makes me look dewy and adds moisture, affordable, contains SPF, buildable coverage. I tried a few (one from Saie) but once I tried Revealer, nothing else compared. I'm not a big foundation-wearer (or even makeup wearer), but I do have uneven skin tone and some redness and wanted to have something that felt light and left my complexion looking markedly improved. What makes it stand out: it delivers on all my criteria and then some. I even blend like a quarter pump with my daily SPF lotion (currently using La Roche-Posay Anthelios Face 60 SPF) and apply them at the same time. I cannot explain how easy it is to apply just with fingers. Without any other product, I'm 70% done. TLDR: No notes.

For years, I’ve struggled with concealers creasing by midday, sometimes even an hour after application. The foundation is incredibly light, making it feel like I’m wearing no makeup at all. There was no settling into pores and the foundation stayed in place, flawless all day. The brightening powder did not amplify dry areas and gave me a subtle glow I am so impressed with the quality of products, I’ve finally found my holy grail, must have makeup.

Pleasantly surprised with these! I love the way it feels on my skin, and knowing that it's actually got benefits for my skin and won't leave me breaking out. I'm not a huge makeup person and weird about textures, and this feels like a win for me. It hides spots well, without looking cakey or anything like that. And their color matching/support is spot on. No pun intended. The one thing is I wish the packaging was more cohesive. The foundation looks great and premium with the yellow caps, but then the mascara is shiny and purple, the spray serum has blue type on a pink bottle, etc. This is absolutely not something most people care about it but it'd look so much better as a set if it matched better.

The Kosas concealer, foundation, and lip gloss truly exceeded my expectations. Each product felt like skincare in makeup form—gentle, breathable, and actually helped reduce the look of my acne, PIE, and PIH. They gave me coverage that felt empowering rather than heavy, which made a huge difference in my confidence. The textures were smooth, radiant, and easy to blend. The powder’s packaging is pretty clunky and did break but besides the packaging there is no major issue. That said, because they’re made with truly clean ingredients, I did notice product separation after about 5 months. It didn’t immediately affect performance, but it’s something to keep in mind if you rotate products or use them less frequently. Still, the benefits they gave my skin—and how they made me feel—are hard to beat.

The skin improving foundation is such an easy path to perfect skin! Easy application and blends in well. Suggest shopping in person to find the best match for your skin tone - I got mine at Sephora. Based on the rep's recommendations, I got a shade that's slightly lighter than what I would have picked myself, but once it blends in, it looks so natural and glowy. Only downside is that I wish the SPF were a little higher than 25. The air brow is also great - brush applicator makes it look very natural. Would try their other products as well.
