Most of us can attest to the fact that foundation, and in some cases concealer, is part of our everyday routine. However, since many of us have been working from home, it’s often hard to find the motivation to apply makeup of any kind. Although that is totally fine—some days, a little something to blur and reduce redness makes us feel good.
That’s where the Becca Cosmetics Zero No Pigment Foundation comes in. Since it has no pigment (it’s a skincare-makeup hybrid), it’s perfect for throwing on whenever you feel like it. When I first saw it on Instagram, I knew I needed to test it ASAP. Read on for my honest review and to find out if it’s worth the hype.

The Results: Blurs imperfections with a matte finish
After testing it a few times, I came to the conclusion that it definitely blurs effectively. For me, minimal redness, visible pores, and skin texture were all blurred perfectly by the product. Aside from that, I absolutely loved how it felt on my skin and how it kept my skin super hydrated. The formula offers a matte finish and conceals any oiliness. I love how it’s a non-traditional foundation but still worthwhile. Becca Cosmetics celebrates embracing your true, natural self and this product speaks to that.

The Value: Similar price point to traditional foundations
Coming in at $36, it’s a good value. Since it’s long-lasting and wears well, you don’t have to worry about fixing your complexion throughout the day or adding more product. Also, it’s worth noting this product works on all skin tones due to the fact that it’s clear. That said, if you want real coverage, it’s worth spending your money elsewhere. This product is great for putting on in the morning when working from home, it helps feel like you’re put together and ready for the work day at your desk (or couch, no judging here).
Similar Products: You have options
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation: While this $44 foundation is pigmented, it’s a lightweight feel that leaves the skin with a matte finish. And if you’re looking for full coverage, this is the one.
Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation: Priced at $54, this foundation offers medium-coverage and a lightweight feel. It is made up of ingredients like aloe and plant-based squalane, and skin is left glowing and moisturized.
Our Verdict: A great alternative to BB creams or sheer-coverage foundations
I absolutely recommend buying this product if you love BB creams or sheer-coverage foundation. It did an amazing job blurring my skin, mattifying my slight summer oiliness, and keeping my skin super hydrated. I loved the formula and will most definitely be using it again.
