ILIA Beauty Review

Sharing a review on ILIA Beauty, a 100% clean, nontoxic makeup brand.

ILIA BEAUTY FAVORITES

Over the last year or so, I have been adding to my clean makeup and beauty collection and I’ve gravitated toward the brand ILIA Beauty. What drew me in was their branding and their high-quality products — I’m truly a sucker for pretty branding.

I love that their makeup is made with the intention of keeping things fresh and minimal and highlighting your natural features, rather than masking them. Each of their products are 100% clean and nontoxic which is so important! I love that the makeup is high-performance but without all of those harmful ingredients.

If you’re new to clean beauty, this post breaks down how to make the switch!

Read on for a review of some of my go-to ILIA makeup products for a minimal, natural, everyday look!

ILIA Beauty Review

ILIA Super Serum SPF Skin Tint
ILIA-SPF-Serum-Skin-Tint
This lightweight tinted SPF serum is perfect for everyday wear. It is natural-looking, breathable and doesn’t feel like you’re wearing any makeup! Plus, it gives a nice glowy look, so what’s not to love? It’s easy to apply and I like that it dries pretty quickly.

Before I bought it, I wasn’t sure which shade to buy since it’s hard to tell by simply browsing online. But one of the things I LOVE about ILIA is that they help you find your exact shade so you can be sure before you buy! I ended up ordering the shade KAI ST6.5 and it goes on a tad light but once it is blended in and dries, it matches my skin tone perfectly.

ILIA True Skin Serum Concealer

This concealer is lightweight and hydrating which is great because it doesn’t dry out or look “cakey” like other concealers can. It blends easily and gives just the right amount of coverage.

Even though the formula is very lightweight, I find that a little goes a long way! I chose the shade BURDOCK SC1.75 which is a bit lighter than my regular skin tone, and it really helps brighten the eyes!

For brows, I like to keep it very simple since my brows are already full and dark. This essential brow gel really helps keep them in place without looking too “done”. It’s a natural volumizing brow gel that thickens, fills and sculpts brows into place.

The shade I have is Medium Brown and it’s a great universal shade and I find that it is very natural-looking and it dries nicely — not too shiny or stiff or anything like that.

Translucent Soft Focus Finishing Powder

This translucent finishing powder is a MUST. I always set my makeup with this powder and it really helps it last and keeps it looking fresh for hours. This powder doesn’t settle into any fine lines but instead gives a finished satin look and feel. It’s my holy grail for setting my makeup before braving the South Florida heat and humidity haha.

Plus, it’s talc free, fragrance free and non-comedogenic so it is also perfect if you have sensitive skin!

If you’re in need of anew mascara, look no further than ILIA’s Fullest Volumizing Mascara. WOW this mascara! It gives such an impact and really does add a ton of volume… a little goes a very long way! It doesn’t feel flaky or stiff when it dries out and it’s truly one of the best mascaras I’ve ever used.

I also love their Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara that’s buildable and smudge-proof.
