I have quickly become a fan of serum foundations. The perfect combination of makeup and skincare giving skin some extra hydration and protection. The Kiko Milano Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation has been in my makeup bag for a month now. If you enjoy lightweight coverage with added skincare benefits keep reading!
Although all makeup has skincare benefits a serum foundation is ideal for a lightweight buildable finish – think the no makeup makeup look. Whilst also giving skin some extra care. The Kiko Milano Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation comes in an elegant glass bottle with a pipette dispenser. It is available in 21 shades which cover all skin tones. I was shade matched in store to 1.5NG which I think works well for my fair/light skin.

Review of Kiko Milano Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation
As a fan of skin tints I have been exploring more foundation serums. Although similar in many ways a foundation serum offers more than just hydration helping improve other skin concerns alongside a little more coverage. The Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation is a lightweight fluid which instantly soothes my skin. A little goes a long way and you don’t need a lot for a full application. Easy to blend the coverage is buildable, I personally apply a little extra to areas of redness that need it. I love the no makeup makeup finish it leaves, feeling and looking like a second skin. It has a flattering blurring effect, smoothing my fine lines and evening my skin tone without creasing or caking. Instantly my skin looks brighter and healthier which is great, on busy mornings I pop on a coat of Maxi Mod Mascara and am done!
The serum foundation has worked brilliantly for my dehydrated skin, keeping it comfortable and looking plump all day. I put it to the ultimate test with a recent holiday to Disney and testing 11 hours wear in the Spring heat. It wore well and after nine hours separated and faded on my chin and nose, however this is normal for me. My skin feels both softer and smoother after use with a brighter appearance which is great. If there was one thing I would improve it would be the pipette applicator which I find doesn’t capture enough of the foundation for an easy application. As a result I often find it easier to take directly from the bottle itself. If you enjoy a natural skin like finish with the added skin care benefits it doesn’t disappoint!
