Hello IMBBians!
Today, I will be reviewing New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Foundation in the shade “680 Classic Beige,” which I had got from an NRI friend a few months ago, but it got lost in my makeup kit and finds its name in the list of my seldom used products. Do you want to know why? Then keep scrolling.

Ingredients:
My Experience with New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Foundation:
It comes in a cylindrical bottle with a screw-on lid. The flat wand is provided to pick up the product and ensure hygiene. The product details are written on the product body.
Firstly, I won’t call it a bad foundation, I would rather say it was a bad decision. Since I had told my friend to get it for me, I had selected the shade online. “Classic Beige” is a beige shade but lacks the yellow undertone to make it work for Indian skin tone, so it looks ashy on me, but if I wear it with a color correcting powder, it looks reasonably well.
The smell is weird to say the least. I am not at all a fan of its smell and that is perhaps a major reason why I don’t use it often. The texture is not very thick, in fact, it is lighter than Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. It gives medium coverage, make skin look brighter and fair (although slightly grey in my case).
It doesn’t cause sweatiness or discomfort, so you can wear it with ease. The formula is easy to blend and comfortable to carry. It doesn’t oxidize after some time and stays well set for 4-5 hours after which the need for a touch up is felt. If the shade matched my skin and the smell weren’t bothersome, I would love to reach for it often.
Pros of New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Foundation:
- Travel-friendly packaging.
- Comes with a flat wand.
- Easy to blend.
- Lightweight, thin consistency.
- Doesn’t cause heaviness or greasiness.
- Decent staying power.
- Medium coverage.
Cons of New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Foundation:
- Very overpowering unpleasant smell.
- Shade does not suit my complexion.
Would I Recommend/Repurchase New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Foundation?
Well, if I had the option of trying before buying I might as well give it another shot. If you find a shade that works for you, you can try this.

Opss… That same online purchase problem 🙁 🙁
I think that foundation is probably too light – a couple of shades warmer and it might be just right 🙂 But yeah I totally get online shopping is hit and miss!
