What the gurus are saying

Gurus love this foundation's lightweight formula, natural finish, and buildable coverage, with some enthusiasts owning multiple shades. The consistent complaint is shade range and undertone accuracy, particularly that the available shades skew too yellow and lack options for very fair or neutral undertones. The formula itself earns praise; the friction comes down to match.

"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."

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 House 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."
Approved
"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."

It has a really nice formulation. It's super lightweight. And with this product, there's a lot of skincare ingredients in it, which is another reason why I really wanted to try it."

"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."

The WORST Foundations I've ever used! | DON'T BUY THESE!!
"Haus Labs Triclone foundation, I adore this. This is almost like a second skin. The way it sits on the skin is beautiful. It looks real. It looks like skin. You can build it up. It doesn't sit on texture. When you're having those days where you're like, you know what? My skin is dry today. I look dry. I feel crusty. This is a foundation to go for."

What's REALLY in My Makeup Bag? | Products I Swear By!
"This foundation is one of the most versatile in terms of skin texture and skin type because no matter how my skin is doing or feeling that day it works. Whether I'm dehydrated or my skin's really oily, it really works with my skin. I always have Haus Labs as a backup if I'm trying something new because I know it's going to work. I can rely on this."
NO ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING | GRWM in natural light
"A brand like Haus Labs. I'm not a fan of their concealer, but it also wasn't the worst concealer I've ever used. Their foundation is great, and I've enjoyed using all their other products."
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."

"I adore this foundation, the Haus Labs Triclone Foundation. One of my favorite foundations ever. It is beautiful. I'm oily, combination around my nose. It gets oily, it gets dry. Well, not dry. It's more dehydrated and a little bit textured on my cheeks. And I absolutely love the way this sits on my skin throughout the day, throughout the evening. It is incredible."

"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."

"If I'm wanting silicone and I want to be dressed up evening sexy, I'm going to reach for Haus Labs. The Haus Labs Triclone foundation and concealer, there's nothing on the market that will last quite as long as that. It's Korean technology but it's the best contract manufacturer in Korea. There's some biotech infused but there's the balancing of the materials to yield the result. If you have really oily skin you're going to need some type of a blurring primer like Laura Mercier's to neutralize and soak up some of that oil."

"This is a very, very easy one pump. This is the effect you're getting. How beautiful, how flush, how beautiful this is. This is almost undetectable on skin. You can use a beauty blender, you can use a brush, you can massage it with your hands, whatever technique you're comfortable with. It's a very lightweight foundation. This is not a very watery foundation, but it's very sheer in the sense it doesn't feel like anything on your skin."

"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."

The #1 Foundations for FALL + a secret 😉
"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. The coverage on this is amazing, the feel, the finish. I just have nothing but good things to say about the Haus Labs Foundation. It's so good."

"The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation is one of the best foundations I've ever tried and it's hyped up for a very good reason. I've used this for event makeup and it's the perfect wedding complexion product. It's one of the most gorgeous and reliable foundations on the market today. It leaves a gorgeous full coverage natural but not overly dewy finish, is incredibly long lasting, and keeps its coverage and finish all day long. I also wear it on the daily because it makes your skin look perfected. This stuff is magic and my complexion always looks incredible when I wear it. The packaging is this luxe frosted glass which is a bonus and really is so luxurious. You can build up the coverage and the finish looks so nice and it wears well."

I would say to get a tool where you can dab or press the foundation in you don't want something that's going to mix the foundation in with the mineral sunscreen for two reasons one you don't want to ruin the alter the effect of the sunscreen but you know of course you're going to wait 10 to 15 minutes before you put the foundation on in the first place right and then two if you are mixing that foundation in with the mineral sunscreen it's going to look gray. I used a beauty blender but there's 50 million other things that you can find out there that you can use this with and I just kind of pressed it in... it looks a million times better like a million times better."
