"If I didn't already have this Foundation I would absolutely be adding this Foundation because I have this Foundation is so good. If you haven't tried it, everything they say about it, the fact that it blurs and provides this incredible coverage, highly recommend. [...] I like the packaging, it's nice and travel friendly, it's nice and lightweight."

"I'm going to use this [...] Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r foundation. I've actually only used this like once or twice, and I used it because it won an Allure Best of Beauty award so that's what made me try it initially, but I feel like the finish of this is going to be really nice for this look because it's got a little bit more of a glow to it."

I Tried The READERS' CHOICE WINNERS... Allure 2023

"The best longwear foundation according to Allure readers goes to the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation. I actually do really like this foundation. It's [...] a beautiful foundation, it really is, and I feel like it wears really well on me. I used to use this all the time. I use the shade 150."

YOU Told Me To Try This Makeup...

"The first thing I'm noticing is how lightweight this feels. It's really easy to blend as well. [...] That looks really nice, it's got a bit of a glow to it as well. I can see why I've been hearing such good things. I'm actually really surprised at how lightweight it feels. I [...] was kind of picturing a little bit like a thicker texture with this for some reason, almost like picturing a Nars Radiant Creamy or something, but it's much lighter than that. Feels really nice on the skin."

"The Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation launched with 40 shades, which was one of the defining features of Fenty Beauty's commitment to inclusivity. [...] By having all those shades and then launching products like bronzers and contours that were workable with these shades, they really set a high standard in the beauty industry and actually a kind of benchmark goal for a lot of brands as well."

Fake Makeup Artists, Fake Results! | This Foundation Brand Is Lying to You!

"The shade range goes truly deep, with accurate undertones that actually match. The formula blends seamlessly and looks like real skin, not makeup. However, if you have dry skin, this matte formula can emphasize dry patches. It works beautifully on oily to combination skin, but drier skin..."

"It feels very light, it doesn't feel like you're putting pancake makeup on. It's deceiving, it actually is very [...] light in texture. It doesn't feel heavy but it does give you like a solid amount of coverage. You are perfect after that foundation. [...] It's not for me, but it's a great foundation. I can still appreciate a really good foundation when I see it and when I try it."

"The temperamental foundation that you just can't rely on is a fail to me. It's definitely not a reformulation of the original Pro Filt'r foundation, which was incredibly matte and really long-lasting. [...] You have to be very careful when first applying this to get any wear out of it, which I think is a real shame. This should not have been called the Pro Filt'r reformulation. It should have just been called something entirely different."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
