Pacifica Alight Clean Foundation - 0.9 fl oz

I only just received this product so I can't give a full review based on wear time or anything else someone who's worn the product longer would be able to point out, but overall this foundation seems good. The pigments in this foundation aren't fully emulsified, meaning you need to really shake the bottle before you use it and the first pump will be a bit watery. There's one big reason I'm refraining from giving this foundation 5 stars despite how much I like it. I'm mildly allergic to a lot of fragrances, natural and artificial, and Pacifica as a brand really needs to start disclosing what they choose to list as "parfum" in the ingredients list, or better eliminate them from their products that don't actively use specific scents as part of their marketing. I know that it's not legally required of them to do so, but it's extremely frustrating to have to patch test makeup and hope I don't break out in hives. On top of that, this specific foundation doesn't even smell like anything, it smells almost identical to all of the unscented foundations I've owned in the past and parfum is the last ingredient on the list so what's even the point of having it if it doesn't actually benefit the experience of using the foundation?

Love all Pacifica products and this is by far a great purchase. Will definitely keep repurchasing - unfortunately too many items either become discontinued and wish this is not the case with this product - love it!

Best foundation ever and is the perfect shade ( neutral light ) , I just can’t believe how natural looking it was . Forever a fan of Pacifica ❤️

Been using it for about 5 months now, and I really like this foundation! Color matches well with my skin and still blended in even when I tanned a bit darker over the summer! It has good buildable coverage so on days where my skin is pretty clear I use it more like a concealer, but when my acne has flared up I can really use it as a covering foundation. I love the plastic free packaging and the shape fits well in travel bags. It also has a pleasant scent! Only downside is that it does rub off/transfer easily with masks, but not a big deal for me.

This is the best foundation I’ve ever used! I have oily/acne prone skin but this doesn’t seem to exacerbate breakouts. It goes on smoothly and feels like a moisturizer, not at all cakey. Has great coverage while still having a natural finish. It also doesn’t settle into fine lines and wrinkles like many foundations do.

The formula is too thick and cakey for me. It's hard to blend even with a beauty blender and creates texture on my skin so it looks like I'm wearing too much makeup even though I only use 1 pump. Shade 29CM is also too yellow for my skin tone somehow. I have been mixing a small amount with a tinted moisturizer to avoid wasting it.

Highlights every wrinkle, it's too thick and pasty, looks like a Halloween mask. I love Pacifica products, and as much as I wanted to like this product, I just couldn't. Will be returning.

Too thick for me. It didn't blend well (I have dry skin.) Too bad, I love this brand!

I can understand the bad reviews. By itself it is super greasy and stays wet all day. I mix it with loose powder before I put it on. I have been using airspun powder but I am sure any will do. I mix it to more pasty matte. Then finish with Pacifica matte powder, which I think is the best powder I used yet. If you dont mix the foundation it's nearly impossible to use anything on top. It makes my skin very soft. I also use the Pacifica kale water and sleep in Pacifica sea and c body milk. My ance was clear in 2 days.

Love that it’s vegan And would love the other positives (natural/light to medium coverage) except for the fact that this settles into my fine lines and wrinkles.

Best foundation ever! Hope Target will continue selling it online (& w/shipping!). Goes on easily & covers well without being noticeable. Not oily or greasy, no caking, & has no odor. Skin breathes & feels like there’s nothing on it. I have sensitive, combination skin prone to acne & have had no issues. Stays on well & I’m sure if using a powder it’ll stay all day. Love that it’s vegan, packaged in eco friendly glass & cruelty-free

I purchased the warm light foundation. It settles into every crease. I tried using very little - it still looks terrible on the skin. I think that due to having drier skin, it looks very chalky/cakey. So very cakey. I’ve had moderate usability if I can mix the product with a primer before applying. I would not recommend.

New to makeup, very lightweight. Packaging a little messy.

For the price, I didn’t care too much for this foundation. My skin is on the drier side, and it definitely clung to and defined any dry patches I had. It also transfers very easily, but that may be part of the give and take of a “clean” foundation. It takes awhile to blend and leaves me feeling chalky. If the price was lower I might be willing to look past some of these things. It wasn’t bad enough for me to return, but I wasn’t impressed enough that I will be buying again.

It looked great on me if you were at least 10 ft away. Any closer and you could see that it just sat on my skin and settled into creases and edges around my nose, chin, and eyebrows. I returned.

I have used alot of foundations over the years and this is hands down the absolute worst one and it isn't even close. It separates within minutes on my face, covers absolutely nothing, and looks dreadful when applied. I've tried using different primers, different brushes, even used my fingers and nothing has worked to make it look better on my face. I have no idea why I seem to have alot of problems with it despite the great reviews, but I personally will never use this brand again.

Best foundation ever!

The foundation is full coverage, light, and breathable. Feels like you have nothing on!

I don't usually write reviews because, quite honestly, I don't have time. And this one might be premature, but still thought it could be helpful. I am a foundation FREAK. As a nurse and someone who has had hormonal acne my entire life I am always searching for a clean, noncomedogenic way to have flawless, healthy skin. I tried this formula for the first time today and what a lovely feel it has, and a very subtle fragrance that made me feel like I was at a spa. It smooths over your skin like a silken dream and provides total coverage without appearing (or feeling) cakey. I've tried MANY of the $45-50 clean products (Ilia being one of my faves) and this seems comparable to that brand only with better coverage! I'm going to see how this wears, and if I still like it tomorrow I will try their new SPF primer! Stay safe everyone!! <3

transfers very easily. needs a primer and setting spray just to keep it on. slides right off.
