What the gurus are saying

This foundation earns consistent praise for its undetectable, skin-like finish and impressive shade range, though it polarizes on staying power and wear. Most gurus love how lightweight and blendable it is, with some finding it buildable enough for medium coverage and others noting it pairs beautifully with concealer for fuller results. The main split: some see it last all day with minimal touch-ups, while others report significant slippage and patchiness after three to five hours, especially on oily zones or without setting powder. Anyone with oily skin may want to use a blurring primer to help it grip better.

"I like this foundation for this finish because it has a more medium coverage. It's not too full coverage, and I find it to be relatively responsive to the skin care, like your skin prep. It can be a little bit more luminous or you can satinify it, so I find it to be really beautiful when you want to create a more dimensional makeup look."
All 12 takes from Alexandra Anele
Oh wow. I think this is it.
"I want to recreate that finish with a product that I know isn't going to do that. So, that prompted me to want to mix my Haus Labs foundation, which is a water-based foundation that my skin has been absolutely loving, with [...] a mineral powder."
So Sephora's having a sale... What to skip & what's actually WORTH IT
"I'm obsessed with it. I love it. As far as foundations go, it's pretty much the only one I've been using. [...] It's beautiful. It has an incredible finish. I love the color range. It has a really [...] natural finish. I would say medium coverage. [...] It's very lightweight on the skin. It's relatively buildable, but I typically like to use it to even out my skin tone and just create a really beautiful base and then rely on my skincare and my concealer for extra coverage."
So NARS has a new foundation…
"But so often when I receive complexion products, people will send me as close to my undertone as they can get, which usually ends up being a little too dark, which isn't great for those of us who are really, really pale because for whatever reason, brands think that pale people are pink all the time. That was absolutely the case here. These are just way too dark for me. But even these colors, even the colors that were sent to me are quite yellow and orange."
I had an idea...😈 MIXING MAKEUP for the GLOWIEST GLOW
"My favorite foundation for a while now has been the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation in the shade 030 Fair Cool. It's a really [...] light formula. I really love the formula. It's actually the first time in a long time that I've really been going through a foundation because it's what I pick up every single time I do my makeup."
THIS replaced THAT
"The [Haus Labs] foundation has essentially replaced all of my foundations. It's like that simple. Like it's just replaced all of them. [...] If you watched my video where I talked about like water-based makeup for acne prone skin, I do tend like I am congestion prone. Okay, I just am. I'm acne prone."
SO you have a patch that WON’T BLEND
"I used Haus Labs today, 030. [...] You don't need a lot. Obviously, you can see like very, very tiny amounts, but this is going to be our little mixing palette. And we're going to mix our custom shade."
Makeup for acne prone skin
"My favorite foundation like almost all around recently has been from Haus Labs. This is the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. This is a water-based foundation. [...] Usually a water-based foundation is a much more liquidy formula. This is like somewhere in between. It's not so liquidy, but it is more so than [...] MAC Studio Fix or something like that. I'm loving the Haus Labs one."
Finally playing with the GREEN palette! 💚
"The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation really has replaced everything. It's like if I want medium coverage that I can build up on top of, then that's the foundation that I use. [...] I love it. It's so good. It's good for everybody. It's really hydrating. It's lightweight. There's good coverage, beautiful colors. They really nailed it with that."
Emma Stone's makeup is PERFECT
"I have been loving the Haus Labs Triclone foundation. It's medium buildable, which is really nice. But it is water-based, so it is a little bit more lightweight. It feels a lot more lightweight on the skin, which is great. It wears really beautifully. On days [...] when my skin is a little bit more dry, I tend to prefer using the moisture of a damp sponge. [...] If your skin has been dry, [...] a little extra moisture isn't going to hurt."

"This foundation goes to my S tier, it's amazing. It comes in so many different shades, I wear shade 21 in Korean colors and it's a fair cool color that fits me so well. [...] It's totally okay for all skin types, it just sets so well, and the coverage is pretty good. [...] I apply it with the Picasso spatula and it's amazing."

"Once I put it on my face it feels more creamy with a more satin finish and better coverage than Hera. It feels watery and moisturizing when I first apply it, and after an hour or two it settles in and holds up better in the pores. I think overall people will love this one, it works for all skin types, and I definitely highly highly recommend it. It also has a lot more shade options, around 50. If you only use this on its own you do need a concealer for some spots."

"Heavy silicones may also trap sebum in follicle-sensitive skin. It contains high-quality actives and an exceptional 51-shade range, but the problem with the foundation is it has been formulated for complexion performance, not acne safety. The final verdict is I can't recommend this for daily wear on acne-prone skin of color skin."
✓Yay
"I really like this because there's a lot of skincare ingredients in this. I love makeup that has skin care in it because makeup is left on the skin for quite a while, right? Eight hours or more. So it's nice to have something that has skin care in it since it's going to be left on the skin for a long duration. And this has a lot of great ingredients in it for signs of aging. I find this to be very comfortable on the skin. It's not drying. It's not overly greasy or shiny."

"The Haus Labs Triclone foundation and concealer, there's nothing on the market that will last quite as long as that. [...] It's Korean technology but it's the best contract manufacturer in Korea. [...] There's some biotech infused but there's the balancing of the materials to yield the result. If you have really oily skin you're going to need some type of a blurring primer like Laura Mercier's to neutralize and soak up some of that oil."

"I'm wearing the Haus Labs foundation in shade 030 Fair Cool, which I picked out in the dead of winter, and it's a little too light for me now. But every time I wear it with contour products it has such a nice finish, it [...] really bends and flexes with your skin, which [...] matters a lot if you have dry or mature skin, though even younger skin can appreciate how skin-like it looks. It's just such a pretty foundation on the skin and they have an incredible shade range."

"For the foundation I'm going in with the Haus Labs Foundation. I've always been using it since November. What I love about it is you use the tiniest amount. I take a buffing brush and apply it, then go in with a beauty blender and just blend it out. It's amazing."
Luxury makeup that is worth your money
"This is my number one recommended foundation. Coverage is medium to high and it's buildable, so you can build it up to being really really strong. The finish is satin, so it's glossy, shiny, glowy. If you have excessively oily skin, I will not recommend it because the product already has extra extra glow and it will not look that great. But for normal, combination, or dry skin, it is beautiful. I think it's fabulous for mature skin because it's a very lightweight formula."
✓Nay
"It didn't look like natural skin sitting on my skin, it definitely looked like makeup sitting on my skin. At the five hour check-in [...] it was majorly worn off on my nose, very worn off on the side of my face, and on my forehead it was basically gone. [...] The side I set with powder wore better than the unset side, which slid around and melted off my face getting really patchy within about three hours. I had trouble blending my bronzer over it, [...] and it balled and pilled a little bit."
✓Yay
"This is a great kind of like skincare infused foundation as well. Less is more with this. It's beautiful."

"This really looks so beautiful, a little goes a long way. If you're not wanting to feel like you've got foundation on, this one doesn't really feel heavy to me, but it feels even more lightweight. It's going to give you great coverage and it just makes your skin look really healthy while also smoothing out everything, making you look virtually flawless.

"Today feels like a Haus Labs day. I was actually inspired by Nikki's video, she used this foundation and I was like I want to use that foundation again. I'm going to do one pump on the back of my hand, this is the shade Fair cool. Once I've evenly spread out the foundation, I've been kind of pressing the foundation into the skin, which seems to be giving a really really nice finish."

"I honestly feel like I could use a different shade in this foundation.

"I've taken one of my favorite foundations. We're using the Tri-Clone foundation from Haus Labs, just to give it a good fighting chance. The application itself actually isn't terrible. I am getting quite decent coverage. Although I wouldn't say that the fingerprint thing, whatever it is, is blending more than anything else. You can actually still see some of my redness coming through on the nose."
Foundation match goes wrong | PRO MUA reacts to makeup videos!
"Minus one point, because the box is hard to open on Haus Labs. The foundation is too yellow. It's slightly too yellow. You can see from her skin here, it is more about a golden tone, but it does have a neutral to it. If I use a yellow tone, I'm too yellow. If I use a pink tone, it's too pink. So I'm very, very neutral. And I think that's what she is too, because everything they're putting on her is too yellow. You can literally see it's the wrong shade."

[...] I love the finish, I think it's beautiful. [...] So far right now I would absolutely consider using this again or using it as my foundation. This Foundation would be great if you have dehydrated and dry skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Source: DermNet

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Source: NIH, National Library of Medicine

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
