Feathery-light, long-lasting formula provides 24-hour moisture & creates a gorgeous, natural matte finish Editor’s Note: We reviewed this article on September 19, 2023.

And not only because it is an Essence foundation, but also because this is a new hydrating foundation by the very affordable drugstore brand. Essence is one of those brands that I love to try but often their foundations aren’t the best for me: their shade range is usually limiting, the textures are often too matte, and it therefor just isn’t for me. Their last Insta Perfect foundation was far too matte for instance. So the only Essence foundation I ever liked was their Fresh & Fit. Will the new Pretty Natural foundation be able to beat that? Review: Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation 020 Neutral Alabaster From beauty addicts for beauty addicts! This foundation is the ultimate insider tip for a smooth, natural and well-groomed complexion – because it was developed together with essence consumers and especially tailored to their wishes. The feathery-light, long-lasting formula with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera provides moisture for 24 hours and creates a beautiful, naturally matt finish for just as long – for perfection all day long. Thanks to its medium coverage, it makes redness disappear, ensures an even skin tone and blends pleasantly softly with the skin. While you can see less redness in my face, you will still have to go in with a concealer to fully cover any areas that aren’t covered by the foundation. This foundation just evens out my skin tone and looks great on. Overall it is pretty long lasting: I wore this to a workout in the gym and it didn’t smudge everywhere or transfer. I’ve also worn this under a mask and while it does transfer a little bit throughout the course of the day, it still wears down evenly. I think this foundation is a great natural option at the drugstore that is great for everyday wear. My final thoughts

With 31 shades to choose from, I for once, did not have to choose the lightest shade in a range of Essence foundations. I think 020 Neutral Alabaster is a spot on shade for me. The coverage is lightweight which means your skin peeks through as you can see in the pictures above. On the left you can see my face before foundation, on the right is my face after foundation. If you would like to see what this foundation looks like when I apply it, please watch the video in which I try out all of the new Essence Fall/Winter 2020 products.

The foundation’s moisturizing abilities are powered by hyaluronic acid and aloe vera. Hyaluronic acid is a super-hydrator praised for its ability to plump skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and replenish cell moisture. Aloe vera is a well-known skin soother that calms irritation or itchiness, cools the skin, prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and promotes the healing of breakouts. It is also worth noting that it is vegan, paraben-free, alcohol-free, oil-free, and gluten-free.
