NYX Liquid Makeup Foundation is a liquid formula that comes in a light plastic pump at 30 ml/1 oz for only $14 at NYX. The one I got for me online is Natural Beige, a pale shade. But Natural Beige has yellow undertone and mine is rose, so unfortunately I can’t use it. First thing you notice is its is lightweight consistency, which I very much like when it comes to foundation. I hate masks, pore cluggers and heavy weight dry pigments sometimes do so…
Has fair to medium coverage. Natural was pale and not matching the undertone with my skin, I applied it in layers and got nothing more than medium coverage. It gives a certain glow to your skin highlighting the top areas of your face in a younger fresh look.
It wasn’t very fast absorbed by my skin and felt like a a mix of cream and water when I first apply it. I can’t say light like water, but light and wet. Which isn’t nice when you have less that 20 minutes for makeup and trust me you can’t touch it until it dries without sweeping it out…
Has SPF 15 in it to protect your skin from sun damage and is waterproof. I’m sure these natural shades all look good in Summer sun light and it’s perfect that offers protection and we can wear it to the beach! 
Recommended for all skin types, having a subtle mineral/floral scent.

My conclusion:
I would recommend it to dry and normal skin types and for those who’re used to set the foundation with a little bit of loose powder. It’s a lightweight, caring, natural foundation for hot days and nice textured skins.
