BeautyBlender Bounce Liquid Whip Long Wear Foundation Review

BeautyBlender’s new Bounce Foundation is a launch that had everyone talking from the moment it was announced. Now available in Australia (exclusive to Sephora) the foundation is easily one of the most ground-breaking formulas on the market and it’s actually one of the few foundations I’m most personally excited about. A few years ago, what stood to be my favourite foundation was discontinued (an old school formula of Rimmel Match Perfection Luminous Light Perfecting Foundation) and I have been on the hunt for a formula that performs just as good ever since, a hop skip and a bounce into the future and I found it.

A lightweight air whipped style texture is the overall formula of the foundation, it’s not thick or greasy in any way shape or form, but instead takes the place of a mousse consistency which feels soft and comfortable on the skin. The unique texture also has a slight blurring effect; it  smooths over imperfections and texture on the skin so if scarring or flakiness are two issues you encounter you can rest assured this is a foundation that will not accentuate these.

The formula can be applied with either a beauty blender or a brush, a beauty blender will allow you to have more control and slowly build up the coverage whilst a brush will allow you to apply and blend product seamlessly without a sponge absorbing the foundation and wasting product. In my person experience I found a combination of both brush and sponge gave the best results.

Once applied, the foundation settles down to a soft, natural, and demi-matte finish which allows for just a hint of natural shine from the skin to come through without being greasy or overly matte, the flawless airbrushed finish the foundation gives is undeniable, it makes skin look incredible and naturally perfect. Every skin type will have success with the finish of this foundation, but it can also be mattified further with powder or made super dewy if skin is prepped with hydrating and illuminating products. 

Staying power is another key attribute of determining whether a foundation is a good one, and whilst the 24hr claim may be a little far stretched, the staying power is impressive and the foundation manages to stay put with a flawless finish for hours on end. A primer will give you a longer period of wear time, but the foundation has great staying power on its own, and even without a primer, setting spray, or powder, the foundation looks great and lasts well.

Housed in a bottle with an airless pump (which also has a “lock” to prevent the product accidentally leaking) the product stays fresher for longer and allows you to control the amount of product you wish to use. It doesn’t stop there though, the best feature of the packaging is undoubtedly the “palette” functionality, pumping the product automatically dispenses it onto a stainless-steel palette from where you can mix and work product into your brush/tools without having to use the back of your hands.

Oxidization can often be a concern with foundation, but it’s not one that’s warranted with this one. According to beauty blender the pigments have been dried down completely before being added to the foundation so there’s no possibility of the pigments and shades shifting and darkening.

The shade range is pretty standard, but there is definitely some room for improvement and expansion of the shade range. Whilst I was able to find a perfect match for my porcelain skin tone (I wasn’t even the lightest shade for once!) others on the opposite end of the spectrum may have some difficulty finding a perfect match.

The verdict? BeautyBlender Bounce Foundation is 100% worth the hype, and I would not hesitate to claim it as one of my all-time favourite foundation formulas, if this is any example of what is to come from BeautyBlender in the future, then I cannot wait to see what comes next.
