What the gurus are saying

This water-based formula earns consistent praise for its lightweight feel, natural finish, and exceptional 51-shade range, with gurus noting it blends seamlessly and works across skin types. The main split centers on wear time and skin sensitivity: while most gurus love its long-lasting performance and comfortable feel, one dermatologist flags the denatured alcohol concentration as potentially problematic for acne-prone skin of color, as it can disrupt the barrier and trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and one tester found it wore off heavily within hours and accentuated texture. Those with oily skin may want to pair it with a blurring primer to control shine.

"If you're a fan of Haus Labs, I really love that foundation, and I think that would also create a really beautiful base for this look."
All 11 takes from Alexandra Anele
Oh wow. I think this is it.
"I want to recreate that finish with a product that I know isn't going to do that. So, that prompted me to want to mix my Haus Labs foundation, which is a water-based foundation that my skin has been absolutely loving, with [...] a mineral powder."
So Sephora's having a sale... What to skip & what's actually WORTH IT
"I'm obsessed with it. I love it. As far as foundations go, it's pretty much the only one I've been using. [...] It's beautiful. It has an incredible finish. I love the color range. It has a really [...] natural finish. I would say medium coverage. [...] It's very lightweight on the skin. It's relatively buildable, but I typically like to use it to even out my skin tone and just create a really beautiful base and then rely on my skincare and my concealer for extra coverage. [...] The thing that I love about it the most is that it's a water-based formula, so it's a little bit more liquidy and it doesn't feel heavy on my skin."
So NARS has a new foundation…
"I was very interested in this foundation when I received it. But so often when I receive complexion products, people will send me as close to my undertone as they can get, which usually ends up being a little too dark, which isn't great for those of us who are really, really pale because for whatever reason, brands think that pale people are pink all the time. That was absolutely the case here. These are just way too dark for me. But even these colors, even the colors that were sent to me are quite yellow and orange."
I had an idea...😈 MIXING MAKEUP for the GLOWIEST GLOW
"My favorite foundation for a while now has been the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation in the shade 030 Fair Cool. It's a really [...] light formula. I really love the formula. It's actually the first time in a long time that I've really been going through a foundation because it's what I pick up every single time I do my makeup."
THIS replaced THAT
"The [Haus Labs] foundation has essentially replaced all of my foundations. It's like that simple. Like it's just replaced all of them. [...] If you watched my video where I talked about like water-based makeup for acne prone skin, I do tend like I am congestion prone. Okay, I just am. I'm acne prone."
SO you have a patch that WON’T BLEND
"I used Haus Labs today, 030. [...] You don't need a lot. Obviously, you can see like very, very tiny amounts, but this is going to be our little mixing palette. And we're going to mix our custom shade."
Makeup for acne prone skin
"My favorite foundation like almost all around recently has been from Haus Labs. This is the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. This is a water-based foundation. [...] Usually a water-based foundation is a much more liquidy formula. This is like somewhere in between. It's not so liquidy, but it is more so than [...] MAC Studio Fix or something like that. I'm loving the Haus Labs one."
Finally playing with the GREEN palette! 💚
"The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation really has replaced everything. It's like if I want medium coverage that I can build up on top of, then that's the foundation that I use. [...] I love it. It's so good. It's good for everybody. It's really hydrating. It's lightweight. There's good coverage, beautiful colors. They really nailed it with that."
Emma Stone's makeup is PERFECT
"I have been loving the Haus Labs Triclone foundation. It's medium buildable, which is really nice. But it is water-based, so it is a little bit more lightweight. It feels a lot more lightweight on the skin, which is great. It wears really beautifully. On days [...] when my skin is a little bit more dry, I tend to prefer using the moisture of a damp sponge. [...] If your skin has been dry, [...] a little extra moisture isn't going to hurt."

"This foundation goes to my S tier, it's amazing. It comes in so many different shades, I wear shade 21 in Korean colors and it's a fair cool color that fits me so well. It's totally okay for all skin types, it just sets so well, and the coverage is pretty good. I apply it with the Picasso spatula and it's amazing."

"This was everybody's number one on our panel. Once I put it on my face it feels more creamy with a more satin finish and better coverage than Hera. It feels watery and moisturizing when I first apply it, and after an hour or two it settles in and holds up better in the pores. I think overall people will love this one, it works for all skin types, and I definitely highly highly recommend it. It also has a lot more shade options, around 50. If you only use this on its own you do need a concealer for some spots."

It's totally okay for all skin types, it just sets so well, and the coverage is pretty good. I apply it with the Picasso spatula and it's amazing."
Nay
"It contains denatured alcohol at a concentration that disrupts the barrier and increases transepidermal water loss, which then drives inflammation, which then leads to PIH, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, meaning darkening. Heavy silicones may also trap sebum in follicle-sensitive skin. It contains high-quality actives and an exceptional 51-shade range, but the problem with the foundation is it has been formulated for complexion performance, not acne safety. The final verdict is I can't recommend this for daily wear on acne-prone skin of color skin."
Yay
"I really like how lightweight it is. It's like a light to medium coverage. You can build this up to a full coverage for sure, but I'm more of a medium coverage type of person. [...] I really like this because there's a lot of skincare ingredients in this. I love makeup that has skin care in it because makeup is left on the skin for quite a while, right? Eight hours or more. So it's nice to have something that has skin care in it since it's going to be left on the skin for a long duration. And this has a lot of great ingredients in it for signs of aging. I find this to be very comfortable on the skin. It's not drying. It's not overly greasy or shiny. Honestly, it just makes your skin feel like your skin. It makes it look like your skin as well. And I really like how realistic and skin-like this foundation formula is. [...] The shade range is quite large as well. [...] All I need is a couple of pumps."

"I've taken one of my favorite foundations. We're using the Tri-Clone foundation from Haus Labs, just to give it a good fighting chance. The application itself actually isn't terrible. I am getting quite decent coverage. Although I wouldn't say that the fingerprint thing, whatever it is, is blending more than anything else. You can actually still see some of my redness coming through on the nose."
Foundation match goes wrong | PRO MUA reacts to makeup videos!
"Minus one point, because the box is hard to open on Haus Labs. The foundation is too yellow. It's slightly too yellow. You can see from her skin here, it is more about a golden tone, but it does have a neutral to it. If I use a yellow tone, I'm too yellow. If I use a pink tone, it's too pink. So I'm very, very neutral. And I think that's what she is too, because everything they're putting on her is too yellow. You can literally see it's the wrong shade. Not only around her jawline, but also on her cheek. It's slightly too dark."

Viral Makeup That Is Actually Good! TikTok Viral makeup
"I love this foundation. I have this in four different shades. [...] It's so beautiful. It went viral for a reason. Of course there are people that don't like it, but with every product, there's going to be people that it doesn't work for. Doesn't mean they're liars, doesn't mean the people who like it are liars. It's just not everything works for everyone. [...] Because that primer is so grippy, I'm actually just kind of pushing that foundation into the primer. So you will get a more full coverage this way, but you can just keep going round and tapping until you get the desired coverage you want. Also, a sponge will be fine at doing this. [...] This foundation, just the way it sits on the skin, looking like skin. I just love it."

Honest Review Of Lady GaGa 's Foundation! Haus Labs Foundation Review
"From initial application it went on really smoothly, really glides on really well. I'm really liking the finish it has, this nice shine to it. I'm very impressed with the texture, how smoothly it went on. I do have to say in terms of coverage for something that's medium buildable, it does go on quite medium heavy initially, so I would definitely use the tiniest amount as you go and build up a tiny bit at a time. I love the finish, I think it's beautiful. So far right now I would absolutely consider using this again or using it as my foundation. This Foundation would be great if you have dehydrated and dry skin. It hasn't clung to dehydrated areas of my skin so I doubt it would stick to dry areas or get caught in dry areas of your skin. I think it's a really nice foundation. I would be wary if you are oily and don't have time to touch it up so much, then maybe wear with caution, but even then I think it's lasted well. I've powdered twice today and that's it. I'm not wearing a primer or any kind of setting spray. I think it's going to sit great on everyone, to be honest with you."

"I'm going to go in with the Haus Labs Foundation just a thin layer to go over everything we created with our underpainting. I [...] mixed shades 210 and 260, one is a little more olive, one is a little more neutral, just to [...] get the best match. [...] I'm happy with the coverage that we have here. I didn't want to put too much because I want her skin to be very skin-like and soft."

Reacting to Lady Gaga's Haus Labs Makeup Routine with a Pro Makeup Artist! | Susan Yara
"I love that they came out with this. It's a very old school, it just reminds you, it takes you back to like makeup artistry, like the roots of makeup artistry. Like, you know, Mac forever had like the lightest, whitest foundation you could find, like the deepest foundation you could find, and I really like that they did that. I think that's a really cool thing. They probably sell like two SKUs a year of it, but it doesn't matter. Like, they have it and it's thoughtful from a makeup artist standpoint. It's actually a really cool tool to have in your makeup kit. You should have like the lightest of something in terms of foundation and the deepest of something, and if you are good with mixing and you understand color theory and undertones and all those things, you can utilize those as a mixing medium to either lighten foundations or deepen them if you're a professional makeup artist."
Yay
"I'm wearing the Haus Labs foundation in shade 030 Fair Cool, which I picked out in the dead of winter, and it's a little too light for me now. But every time I wear it with contour products it has such a nice finish, it really bends and flexes with your skin, which matters a lot if you have dry or mature skin, though even younger skin can appreciate how skin-like it looks. It's just such a pretty foundation on the skin and they have an incredible shade range."

"For the foundation I'm going in with the Haus Labs Foundation. I've always been using it since November. What I love about it is you use the tiniest amount. I take a buffing brush and apply it, then go in with a beauty blender and just blend it out. It's amazing."
Luxury makeup that is worth your money
"This is my number one recommended foundation. Coverage is medium to high and it's buildable, so you can build it up to being really really strong. The finish is satin, so it's glossy, shiny, glowy. If you have excessively oily skin, I will not recommend it because the product already has extra extra glow and it will not look that great. But for normal, combination, or dry skin, it is beautiful. I think it's fabulous for mature skin because it's a very lightweight formula. You can brush or Beauty Blender it onto your face. Yes, it is expensive, but I highly highly recommend it."
Nay
"This foundation just looked fine when I first applied it, nothing blew my doors off. It gave solid medium coverage with a pretty luminous finish, maybe a little more luminous than I like, and it did accentuate pores and texture. Throughout the day it wore off really heavily on my nose, was very broken up on the surface, looked speckly and weird, and kind of settled into wrinkles. It didn't look like natural skin sitting on my skin, it definitely looked like makeup sitting on my skin. At the five hour check-in it was majorly worn off on my nose, very worn off on the side of my face, and on my forehead it was basically gone. The side I set with powder wore better than the unset side, which slid around and melted off my face getting really patchy within about three hours. I had trouble blending my bronzer over it, and it balled and pilled a little bit. I didn't hate it, it didn't dry my skin out and didn't look cakey, but I didn't really love it either, and I was definitely not impressed with this foundation."
Yay
"I do like to use the Haus Labs foundation, but for being a mom, I don't have time and a little bit of concealer and I feel like it actually looks like I have foundation, but I don't. I have concealer and it's perfect."

"I love it so much. It's truly one of my favorite fall foundations. You can wear all these foundations all year round, but this is one that I do feel like I wear all year round and I'm still excited to wear for the fall because it has skincare packed in it. [...] This really looks so beautiful, a little goes a long way. If you're not wanting to feel like you've got foundation on, this one doesn't really feel heavy to me, but it feels even more lightweight. It's going to give you great coverage and it just makes your skin look really healthy while also smoothing out everything, making you look virtually flawless.

What the evidence says.

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

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Source: DermNet

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Source: NIH, National Library of Medicine

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
