Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The serum-like formula splits gurus: some prize it for how it makes skin look healthy and now wear it constantly, while others find it settles into fine lines around the eyes and doesn't smooth their skin effectively. That means those with oily skin may need to adjust their prep or use less product. The 18-hour wear claim doesn't match real performance.

Excess oil and shine1 expert

“I didn't notice any issues on the outside of the face, which is not where I ever get oily, which is why I'm kind of feeling like maybe it wouldn't be suited for oily skin all the way, unless maybe you prep the skin a little bit differently or specifically for oily skin.”

Redness1 expert

“It did tone down the redness quite a bit and I do feel like the shade match works for me.”

My Honest Review of ND's Hy-Glam Foundation...

"It settled a bit into my smile lines and a little bit into the line I have on my forehead and it did end up breaking up around my nose. I didn't notice any issues on the outside of the face, which is not where I ever get oily, which is why I'm kind of feeling like maybe it wouldn't be suited for oily skin all the way, unless maybe you prep the skin a little bit differently or specifically for oily skin. If you have more dry skin, it could be something that's really gorgeous and that you love."

The Perfect Holiday Makeup 🎄

IT'S TIME! THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2025 🥳

"I've been wearing it like crazy though. It's such a good serum-like foundation. It does give really nice coverage. It's a boost up from a skin tint, but it's a level down, I would say, from a full coverage matte like the Geron foundation. Regardless, it's a really beautiful formula that's going to make your skin just look healthy, which I really love and appreciate about it. And it wears well, which is key."

BLURRING & HYDRATING? Natasha Denona HyGlam Foundation Mature Skin Wear Test & Review

"Other than that, it's been comfortable to wear. It dries and sets, feels nice. I don't feel like it's been like under my nails or anything. So all in all, I think it's a pretty good foundation. Is it like, oh my god, this is amazing, holy grail? Not really."

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.
