How To Fix Fenty Foundation Pump

Team Owner

I wear makeup maybe three times a week. I love my Fenty foundation it makes me look like I just have perfect skin and goes awesome with my Nars concealer. I also have plenty left because I don't put on tons.

However! I was putting on my makeup today for the and noticed that the initial application didn't really look that light anymore (we all know it dries down). And checking out my face in pics after it dried it still looks good but isn't quite as on the nose anymore. There a slight dark yellow muddiness now. I'm also not even at my winter complexion yet (no beach trips planned for this winter sadly).

So I guess I may need to get another one to mix with this one in winter. I'm a neutral (350) and the next lighter neutral shade up (300) is way too light. So I'll probably have to mix in a warm one (330) which might throw the whole thing off. I've never mixed foundations before. Thoughts on how to approach?

Relatedly people who are still waiting for their shade to show up in stock might want to recheck that their shade is still accurate given the time of year...

Hmmm, I don't like to mix foundations but I also wear 350 in Fenty Beauty and I actually use 300 as a concealer, but very lightly. I then put MAC NC 45 studio fix powder on top for the finish. ISSA look! I also tried 330, the warm shades are too red.

I do this too! I'm a 330 in Fenty but I feel it makes me look a little ashy, so I use 390 and 330 under my eyes and around my mouth area and it is a perfect mix.

I've also started wearing a bit of dewy foundation (Fit Me) around my nose area because it's just not cooperating with Fenty in cold weather.

I tried 390 too, lol. It made me look too orange and like a oompa loompa. Then I tried 370, I was too ashy. 360 too but it made me look greenish ashy, cause it's olive. Been through the fire with this foundation but I think you have to go through a few shades until you get the perfect look.

OP, I forgot to tell you earlier to maybe try a primer and/or a setting spray, that may help with the slight discoloration? I think a primer is a must with this. On my way to Sephora now to replace my Fenty Beauty primer, the pump is acting funny, it better be in stock too, lol.

If anyone is interested, Fenty Beauty just got some shades back in stock. I went ahead and got 330/390 again.

Do you shake the bottle before dispensing? Not trying to be a smartass but for me, since I wear foundation sporadically, it tends to separate in the bottle for me.

I actually really like her foundation. I say this as a loyal NARS or BECCA girl. Her pressed powder has been perfection for me too.

My only complaint is the mild transfer I noticed after hugging folks wearing white. That was annoying and something I never experienced with Becca or Nars. So I doubt if I repurchase. That pressed powder will be my holy grail tho.

Okay I'm still a Becca stan but I've been using Fenty Beauty (which I love btw) however all of my foundations transfer. Do you have any tips for preventing that?

Makeup setting spray and not Fix+, I mean like UD All Nighter or the ELF one.

That's with every foundation though. You need a lighter one in Winter and a darker one in the summer. That's why I'm glad I have drugstore favorites in addition to high end ones cause I don't have time to be spending $$$ on foundation

can you recommend some good drugstore foundations/ones you use?

Honestly, fenty foundation is pretty damn near perfect on me. I wear 430, which I got color matched four in the winter lol so thankfully it dries down a bit darker. But it brings out the gold tones in my skin like none of my other foundations have, and it has good oil control. Mixed with the my primer, powder, setting spray, and the fenty translucent powder (yes, it takes all of this) I dont turn into an oil slick for the first time in my life.

The foundation gives me acne . Sucks cause I really wanted it to work . I have her other products to make up for it though

Ok so I'm not just imagining it. As soon as I stopped wearing the foundation my skin started clearing
