Few other makeup artist's achievements match those of Kevyn Aucoin. His work was showcased on countless magazine covers and in three books—including the iconic bestseller Making Faces. He exuded creativity, confidence and kindness, and wanted every woman to feel special in her own skin. A rare growth disorder ended his life, but his influence and expertise live on in Kevyn Aucoin Beauty.

Stunning foundation
I took a chance on this during the spring Nordstrom sale and am so happy I did. I hit the jackpot on the color (Light EF03) the first try. It's the perfect coverage (light-medium but buildable) and the perfect finish (semi-satin). It perfects the skin but still looks natural. Also, it's illuminating in a very flattering way. A lot of people compare this to Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, but I have both and think this one is better. I use it over cheapo Elf pore filling primer and it easily lasts for 10-12 hours. Simply stunning....highly recommend!

Deeply disappointed
I’ve been using this foundation for years and was always so happy with it until now. I purchased it at the end of last year, opened it, and discovered that not only had the packaging changed, but so had the formula. It’s now completely different—watery and with poor coverage. So disappointing.

Amazing flawless natural finish highly recommend
Unbelievable foundation my Daugther recommended it to me. As a mature women with fine lines
I was skeptical.
Most foundations wear poorly settling into fine lines and just sitting on your skin. This foundation with very little used (with a foundation brush) glided on and looked natural and flawless with perfect coverage. I love love love it. I choose from the color chart provided by Nordstrom online and found my color match easily. I finally found a foundation after looking and trying them all.

Makes my skin look fabulous!
This is the best make up I have never tried! I’m 63 years old and my skin looks fabulous with this make up. I did buy their primer but I don’t think you absolutely need it. I also bought the kabuki brush but you could really blend it with your own brush. But for sure you need to try this make up! Honestly it’s the last make up you will ever use

Better than the best
I have combo skin and get really oily in my t-zone, but this foundation lasts all day! Best part, I don't even have to set it and it will stay. It has the perfect amount of luminosity. And it goes on as a liquid and dries down like a powder. It definitely does not latch onto any of my dry spots. Can't say enough how much I love this foundation. Before I bought this, I got the other very famous luminous foundation that is very expensive, and felt like it was a bit overhyped. It felt and looked like I had foundation on whenever I used it and I don't really like that feeling. So for the price, I returned it. This product though, you can't feel and it looks natural. Plus, the packaging is really cute!

Returned
I've been looking for a few foundation since moving to the south. The humidity is unreal in Texas. Makeup seems to slide off, make me breakout or I end up with a slip and slide oily slick of a face. I like Kevyn Aucoin, in fact the contour palette is hands down my favorite makeup item I own. This however didn't work for me. It caked a little too much and didn't provide the coverage I was looking for. I returned it unfortunately.

KA Etherealist Foundation: Enlightening
Light liquid, easy to apply with brush, gives a smooth, illuminated finish with buildable coverage. Color names can be deceiving. I’m fair, but Medium 06, the lightest Medium range, is perfect, adjusts to my skin tone. Doesn’t contain SPF, worth a try with sunscreen for day wear.
