Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Foundation.
When the concealer and the powder came out I realised that I actually haven’t tried the famous Fenty foundation and I wasn’t even sure why so when I bought those I also got a sample of the foundation. I’m super picky with foundations so grabbing a sample it’s the safest way for me to try it before buying it.
Of course, we all know why this foundation was so popular when it came out. Because it was the first time a brand came out with 40 shades for the first launch which was so huge. At this moment the also updated the range adding 10 more.
I have the shade 150 which is for light skin with neutral undertones and it matches me perfectly.
You can get it from Sephora for 34$
PACKAGING
(Of course, since I just have a sample I can’t show you mine and the photos are from the Sephora website).
The bottle is a classic foundation and it comes with a pump which I definitely appreciate, in my opinion, the packaging is beautiful.
I appreciate the pump as it’s really sanitary.
FORMULA & COVERAGE
The formula is thick and not runny, it’s definitely full coverage.
It is super matt and incredibly drying even of my oily skin (I mean, you can totally see that on my arm).
My favourite way to apply it it’s with a damp sponge, I find that it makes the foundation mesh with the skin a lot better.
EFFECT
This foundation looks so BAD on me: it grabs to dry patches, it shows so much of my texture and it enhances my pores. I really don’t think it works for my skin type.
I look like a dry crumbly mess. The first time I put it on I had to take it off immediately because it just looked so bad on me.
LASTING POWER
This foundation lasts for 4 hours without getting shiny.
RATINGS:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 7/10
- Application: 5/10
- Effect: 3/10
- Texture: 4/10
- Packaging: 8/10
GRADE: D
I wanted to like this foundation way more than I do but it doesn’t work for my skin type. I like the packaging and the colour but it grabs to my dry patches and it shows texture and pores. It just doesn’t work for me. I know so many people like it so I suggest you to ask for a sample since it might work for you but that’s definitely a pass for me.

I never tried this purely because of the reasons you state; seems super drying and I already have dry skin. Can only imagine how bad it would look on me. I’m waiting for Fenty to bring out a hydrating version, and then we’ll see.
Still it has too much coverage for me hahah will see what they launch next x
Yea i’m not into full coverage either, except in concealers!
ugh too bad, this foundation didn’t work out for you, I actually wanted to purchase it but I hate drying foundations so I think I am going to pass!!
Omg it’s going to cling on everything! Maybe grab a sample ?
Thanks for the honest review. I am always nervous about trying a new foundation because I have sensitive skin.
That’s what samples are for that way you get to try it a few times to see how your skin reacts ?
I have the hardest time with foundation. It always looks so unnatural on my skin. I love how well this one blends.
Thank you for your honest review! Trying a sample, especially for a foundation, is such a smart way to try new products. I don’t think this foundation will work for me because we have similar skin.
Samples are the way to go, especially in Sephora, if you can why not? ?
Thanks for the super honest review. I’ve actually purchased it and had different results. But as mentioned fingers crossed they come out with a hydrating formula to accommodate more skin types.
That’s really the proof that foundation is so personal, yeah, hopefully they will expand the formula xx
So this will be available in 50 shades soon? Wow. I’ve never known any facial product to have so many! It’s such a shame it didn’t work for you.
PS. Not sure if I said it before so it’s a little late now but I like the updated blog aesthetics, very fresh & sophisticated 🙂

Awww thank you! I don’t think you could ever be late for that, I really appreciate it ♥️♥️♥️
It’s a shame but I definitely appreciate the wide shade range
It’s a shame that this foundation didn’t work for you. Great review xx
Thank you for reading babe xx
I really didn’t like this foundation either. It was a great colour match, but it clings to all my dry patches as well and applies so patchy to my skin. I was so disappointed Xx
I’m pretty sure that was the problem most of us had, maybe she’ll come out with a new more hydrating formula ? x
