05/12/2024, By LollyBeen using this for years and is still the best natural foundation available in South Africa. Highly recommend!29/11/2024, By PetraI struggled so much to find a lasting foundation that matches my skin tone. Estee lauder was all I ever used because it worked and lasted so long, until I found out how bad it was for my skin. I was nervous to try these natural makeup brands, but this one is even better. Would highly recommend.15/10/2024, By GerdaThe foundation is smooth and easy to apply. I have very acne prone skin and this is the first foundation that does not give me break outs or irritate my skin. Been using it for three months and loving it.22/03/2024, By GussieThis foundation is smooth and covers my whole face without leaving lines.
The SPF30 really protects my face from the sun while I am teaching PE outdoors.
Highly recommended!08/11/2023, By WendyI’m so glad I took a chance and ordered this foundation. I googled esse colour match and on their .com site it gives you an option to colour match your foundation so I put Chanel 20 which is my perfect colour and it said to use shade 2 my word it’s a perfect match. Besides the colour matching perfect to my skin it makes my skin feel amazing. I have combination skin and was worried it would be too oily but it’s not, it lasts all day and it doesn’t cause breakouts or irritate my rosacea prone skin. I love this.15/10/2023, By LynnePlunger broke after 2nd use otherwise nice product08/10/2023, By KarinLovely product. Esse foundation is non-drying and lasts surprisingly long. Happy with colour tone F330/09/2023, By GinaStill my favourite. Consistently the best foundation for my skin. No clogged pores. Add some translucent powder as it can be shiny afterwards!01/07/2023, By LisIt's a great foundation. Spreads easily with good coverage and not too dewy or too dry. I accidentally got a shade too light, as I am quiet pale but not enough for shade F2. I will try F3 next.13/03/2023, By GinaMy best foundation. I’ve been using the same shade (F2) for four years. My skin is light but with a warm undertone so it hasn’t always been easy to find the right foundation. It gives me a beautiful glow and goes well with translucent powders and blushes from other natural ranges. The SPF works very well and I love that it has probiotics too. No clogged pores either :)13/02/2023, By CharmaineOnly foundation that I use; very satisfied with quality of the product..26/09/2022, By KerryMy second tube of this foundation - it's lovely and light, the coverage is medium I would say but you can build on it for a "heavier" finish. I love that it has a built in SPF 30 - huge advantage!16/09/2021, By ZestI took a chance ordering the F2 foundation, based on reviews online. I have very sensitive skin; most chemical makeup makes me itch or upsets my sinuses. This Esse Foundation is perfect for me. It's light, creamy, smells nice and blends nicely. I'm not a heavy makeup wearer, but I now wear foundation more regularly since finding this product. I'm THRILLED that it's also a high SPF, which seems hard to find in natural products. The F2 shade is spot on for my cool light colouring.31/08/2021, By JudyI have been looking for a natural foundation for months. Have a yellow undertone and the number 5 is a perfect match. Love it and enjoy the whole guilt free experience of no harsh ingredients.13/07/2021, By MichelleAn excellent foundation that is suitable for daily use! A smooth and elegant finish that is moisturizing and subtle. One of South Africa's best local beauty brands.17/05/2021, By MariskaThe feel and formula of the foundation is excellent. It is however not excellent as a full cover foundation. It is great if a natural look is what you are after. When I need more coverage I will use this as a "skin primer" and use a fuller cover foundation over it.26/04/2021, By SaskiaI love how it gives me a natural glow and fresh looking skin and sunblock , for long harsh days in the bush. It has enough cover to even skin tone but still maintains a dewy natural appearance . Im so grateful I made the change from conventional make up to natural.08/01/2021, By AdeleI love Esse products but I'm afraid this foundation is a miss for me. I find the colour dull and ashy. I struggle to get it to spread nicely over my skin, even when applied after my Esse cream. The pump dispenser doesn't work well. It dispenses more air than foundation.06/11/2020, By IrmsI have a super dry and sensitive skin. And this foundation is a massive hit. Didn't leave my skin oily or clogged any pores. A definite Yes if you are looking for something that nourish and protects.03/11/2020, By GillThis foundation didn't work well on my skin. Perhaps my skin is too dry. I can't get it to blend in well. The coverage is good, but I won't buy it again as it is not a good match for my dry skin.30/10/2020, By ElsieFeels light and looks moist on the skin. Bonus is that it is also a treatment. They also have shades that are adapted for a rosy or a more yellow tint. Medium coverage.26/10/2020, By SanetBlends beautifully, looks super natural. Medium coverage. Can be shiny, looks glowy to me but it's not everyone's thing. Doesn't last all day but lasts long enough. Love it.21/10/2020, By AnnaNice product. I have average caucasian skin and F2 was a bit light for me. But lovely texture - no breakouts so far
21/10/2020, By AnnaNice product. I have average caucasian skin and F2 was a bit light for me. But lovely texture - no breakouts so far
14/10/2020, By IselleI am really enjoying this product. It gives me light smooth coverage and the F2 is perfectly matched to my light skin. I only need to use very little of the product at a time so I am hopeful it will last me a long time. I am having a bit of trouble with the pump function though and it takes a few pumps every use before the product is dispensed - almost like its almost empty - but that obviously isn't the case...11/10/2020, By MelissaMy go to foundation - finally found the perfect foundation after years of searching and trying different brands01/10/2020, By LindsGreat foundation. Medium coverage and applies easily. So good to know it contains no nasties and is good for the skin. Would definitely recommend and repurchase.27/09/2020, By RenataI tried some of the other Foundations as well. This one is my absolute favourite! As a 52-year old woman with freckles, I was looking for something with more coverage. This is absolutely perfect. I am quite fair-skinned with a yellow undertone. I ordered Number 3, and it is the perfect colour for me. Very happy with this product. Unless something better comes along, this will be my choice for the future. Highly recommended.10/09/2020, By ReinetteBy luck i have choose the correct colour. I am quite happy as it blends well into my skin31/08/2020, By AshleighPricey but very good, moisturising and provides great coverage. I have fair skin and red hair so I went with the F2 shade and it's perfect.07/08/2020, By IreneThis foundation is perfect for me. I have sensitive skin and tend to get a lot of breakouts. My skin is reacting really well with this foundation. I like the texture. I have a dry skin i would not nessecarily recommend it for very oily skin, it tends to be oily sometimes. But I love it!!27/07/2020, By KliGreat prodouct! Gives you some coverage and makes your skin look like skin ! It might be abit dewy but that can be fixed with a little powder. Love that it doesnt irritate my sensitive skin .25/05/2020, By LomeI was thrilled to finally see a foundation without silicones, as I have an extremely reactive, sensitive and allergic skin. I bought the shade F3 (thankfully it was a well guessed match) and tried it on today for the first time. I'm not one that cares abut packaging, but it is of high quality and the product is totally fragrance free. It blended so easily with my fingers and didn't settle in any lines. It looks so natural and has the perfect balance, not being overly dewy or too mat. It doesn't smudge off on anything and my skin doesn't even know it has foundation on (that's a first for me, foundation always irritated my skin, feeling like a blanket which finally makes me itch). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this and would buy a storehouse full of it if I had the money. It is expensive but well worth it. I'm so happy I can finally also wear foundation for that even complexion.13/02/2020, By claudiaBought in September - foundation 5- gave me 139 applications (finished today- had to use cotton bud to get the last 30 or so applications out); such a super product and works out very economically in the end; easy application - lasts all day - medium coverage12/02/2020, By KTProvides natural coverage while moisturising the skin. It has a lovely, light feel and a little goes a long way. Slightly oilier than what I'm used to, so it can shine a bit in warmer weather.08/12/2019, By MelissaLove this foundation! Applies easily, lovely moisturized finish! It is just hard to find the correct match at first - especially because you are buying online but once I found color number 3 it was the perfect match.30/11/2019, By KirstenGrateful for the sample which allowed me to get the shade spot on. Really love this foundation. Its thicker and has more coverage than what I'm used to but considering it has a physical spf that is expected. It stays on all day and doesn't cause shine. Will definitely buy again!21/10/2019, By TimikaLoads of different shades, goes far and feels great! Definitely worth it!21/10/2019, By TimikaLoads of different shades, goes far and feels great! Definitely worth it!20/10/2019, By AvaVery disappointing, as I really wanted to like it. It makes my skin shine half an hour after application, transfers onto clothes way more easily than any other foundation I used and does not last. It makes my skin look smooth and nourished right after the application but that's about it.09/10/2019, By MishkaThis foundation smoothes on evenly and the colour is great. Best to keep a couple of different shades due to sun burning changes in skin colouring.23/09/2019, By MargsI'm not a fan of makeup, especially foundation, this however is a great product, a little goes a long way, the colour is great and natural looking and is soothing for my dry-ish skin.23/09/2019, By claudiaBest foundation by a mile - medium coverage- skin feels great- easy application and stays on all day06/09/2019, By JohanneBy far the best foundation I've ever had. Smooth application, great cover, lasts all day.12/08/2019, By JadziaMost amazing foundation that also has repair properties. Especially recommend for acne prone skin21/07/2019, By Carla10 Stars! Amazing coverage and light feeling. This is the first natural foundation I am really happy with!
