Anastasia Luminous Foundation Review: A Dewy Foundation With An Inclusive Shade Range

Anastasia Beverly Hills Luminous Foundation provides radiant, skin-like coverage.

You may know Anastasia Beverly Hills thanks to her iconic Brow Freeze or Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette, but did you know ABH has a foundation? Luminous Foundation is the brand’s first liquid foundation. And, spoiler alert: it’s actually pretty good. It provides a true luminous finish, which I personally love. Let me tell you all the reasons why I enjoy this dewy foundation. Anastasia Luminous Foundation Review is coming right up.

Promises vs. Performance: A dewy foundation that you don’t have to set.

The Queen of Brow Products, ABH, promises her Luminous Foundation “looks so great on its own, there’s no need to set with a powder.” The water resistant formula provides a medium coverage that is long wearing with a radiant finish and weightless feel. Luminous Foundation claims it will blur any imperfection, from discoloration to blemishes, without caking or covering skin’s natural radiance. ABH promises a seamless application that is easy to blend. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive, this foundation is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested as well as noncomedogenic. Perhaps the best of all, this foundation is available in an inclusive 50 shades that claim to not oxidize or cause flashback.

Review Thoughts on Anastasia Luminous Foundation

Now this is what I’m talking about when it comes to luminous, dewy foundation! I find I need just two pumps to get a solid medium coverage. Luminous Foundation has a bit more of a liquidy consistency that I enjoy applying with a dampened sponge. As ABH promised, it was a seamless, easy to blend application.

How It Compares: I enjoy this dewy foundation from ABH.

Let’s review how Anastasia Luminous Foundation compares to top picks. If you’re on the hunt for a solid dewy foundation, add Luminous Foundation from Anastasia Beverly Hills to your cart. This foundation provides a super pretty luminous finish (as the name suggests!), that gives a seamless medium coverage. It is easy to apply and blend.

Let’s compare this foundation to the iconic Estée Lauder Double Wear, what I deem to be the industry standard. Where Double Wear falls short with a radiance finish, Luminous Foundation delivers. You can achieve a solid medium coverage with either, and both apply easily and evenly to skin. I will say, the wear of Double Wear is a bit better. For those days where I don’t want to have to worry about my foundation slipping and sliding, or if it looks good or not, I reach for my coveted Double Wear.

Milabu Beauty Method: Get glowy, radiant skin with the help of this dewy foundation.

If you want the ultimate luminous skin, get your dampened sponge ready and follow along.

1. Prep your skin with a glowy base. I enjoy using Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter ($44) all over as a primer. It gives the most gorgeous glow!
2. Dispense 2 pumps of this foundation on the back of your hand. Swipe the foundation across your face, dispersing product evenly.
3. Taking your dampened sponge (I prefer a Beautyblender, $20), begin blending the foundation out. If more coverage is desired, repeat steps 2 and 3.
4. Skip the powder (ABH says there’s no need for it!) and finish off your complexion with a glowy setting powder. Hourglass Veil Soft Focus Setting Spray ($48) is one I love for a natural radiant finish.
