Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation Review & Swatches

Hey guys! I tried a new foundation. It's Marc Jacob's Genius Gel Super Charged Oil Free Foundation (Golden Deep #46) I actually purchased it the end of last year, but just started using it a couple of weeks ago. This has to be the fastest drying foundation, I have ever tried! Pump it out and apply quickly! HaHaHa I have dry skin, so I didn't know how this would work with my skin. I used a moisturizer, applied Smashbox's primer and then applied this foundation. It's very lightweight (perfect for Spring and Summer), so I'm astonished at the coverage I received. It covered nearly every mark on my face and dark circles (click on pictures below to make larger)! Keep in mind, I didn't use a concealer or finishing powder with this foundation (so can you imagine if I did)! It's a peculiar formula, but not gel like at all. The description for this foundation states, "Erase the past, perfect the present, and protect the future." For me that happened, but WARNING... the reviews on Sephora were mixed. Either folks loved it or hated it. I can only go by what it did for me and let you know my thoughts. I love the bottle! It fits comfortably in your hand and has a pump to dispense the product. It feels like a perfume bottle. Very elegant! So far I've tried 3 foundations! MAC (great coverage but heavy), Urban Decay (great coverage, medium weight) and Marc Jacobs (light coverage, lightweight). I'll still keep testing foundations. HaHaHa Each has it's pros and cons. I want to try Hourglass and Dior next, but I need to finish up these first. HaHaHa You can view all my foundation reviews HERE.

So far, here's my liquid foundation comparison! 


 Marc Jacobs Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl in Satisfaction #214
When I purchased the foundation, I also purchased this lip vinyl. This lip vinyl is SO MOISTURIZING! I love it! PLUS, it gives off great color and doesn't show up lip lines. It's like lip gloss meets lipstick, but with out any stickiness or dryness. The only thing is it TINGLES (tingle usually means lip plumper) when you apply it. Doesn't hurt or sting, but the tingle lasts for a couple of minutes and then goes away. THE BAD NEWS! I just checked Marc Jacobs site & Sephora (to order more colors) and these are no longer listed. THE GOOD NEWS! There's one color (reddish shade) of this in a set of other makeup on MJ site and these ARE listed on Amazon (probably eBay too). Somebody else asked about this dilemma HERE. Hopefully MJ is just taking the tingle out and going to put these back on his site and Sephora! Fingers crossed. Kind of disturbing as to why he took these off shelves. Did I not get the memo? What's in the tingle Marc? Are my lips gonna fall off? LMFAOOOOO

  9. The effect of Marc Jacobs on your skin is amazing and I like it better than Urban Decay. I'm not sure if it's because Urban Decay seems like a tone darker than Marc Jacobs foundation. I could really use one of those for the summer because my skin really gets oily when I wear make up and it just sweats and melts away.

    Stay Wonderful Always,

  10. Totally love the effect on you Kim, seems the perfect foundatio for this time of the year as is light but with a great coverage and finish, you know in the pics with the comparison with the others, is the one I love most and prefer on you. The lip vinyl is stunning as well, hope they will get back soon the whole line as looks like a worth product indeed! Happy Monday Kim! xo

  11. Dear Kim, Marc Jacobs looks like the perfect foundation for you! Your skin looks even, glowing, no mask effect at all. I own a lip lacquer too, and I love how it looks, but I don't find it very moisturising. My lips are a difficult case I'm afraid! Much much love beauty!

  14. Wow, that lip vinyl is a gorgeous shade! The foundation looks gorgeous and I like a fast drying one. The Urban Decay definitely gave you the best coverage. I hope that you get to try Hourglass sometime. It's so easy to use and also dries so quickly!

  16. Oh out of the three I love the Marc Jacobs one the best! You look great Kim!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Kim, the coverage of the Marc Jacobs looks the most natural out of the three and it seems to give you a pretty glow as well. If I wore foundation, I think I'd totally check this one out. That lip color looks like it was made for you :)

  20. I too have read mixed reviews on Marc Jacobs foundation but the finish looks absolutely beautiful on you, Kim! And that lip vinyl is stunning! I do wonder why he pulls it off the shelf and nooooo, I don't want your lips to fall off! That's crazy talk! LMAO!

  21. That foundation looks so nice on you Kim! It looks super natural too, and I love that lip color! I haven't tried any marc Jacobs makeup yet, but I always eye them at sephora!!

  22. I must admit I haven't tried any Marc Jacobs beauty products so I could't wait to read your review. The foundation sounds very good and looks so natural on you. A great success! The lip colour is so glossy and a lovely shade for you too. I'm not keen on the tingly sensation so hopefuly this will be resolved and then I may just treat myself! Thank you for your sweet comment. I always value your opinion! You would love Notting Hill, the pretty houses and of course all those shops!! Enjoy your week!

  37. Ah I've been wondering about this foundation for the longest time - it does give nice coverage! I'm currently using Armani's luminous silk foundation which I think you should definitely try - it's the best thing I've ever used!
