Is Haus Labs Viral Foundation Worth the Hype? A Beauty Editor With Dry and Acne-Prone Editor Puts It to the Test
About the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation:
· CosmopolitanMost foundations don't work on my dry and acne-prone skin, but Haus Labs' Tricolne Skin Tech Foundation is the exception. It’s lightweight, buildable, and doesn’t exacerbate my breakouts—and best of all, it’s 20 percent off for right now ahead of Black Friday. So whether you’re already a fan of the formula and need a restock, or you’ve been curious about trying the viral foundation, it’s genuinely the best time to add it to your cart before shades start selling out.
Keep scrolling for my full review, including details on the formula's skin-friendly ingredients, how it wears, plus more editor-favorite Haus Labs products on sale right now.
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation
Now 20% Off$49 $39hauslabs
- Shades: 51
- Key ingredients: Squalane, vitamin E, centella asiatica, fermented arnica
- Finish: Natural
Firstly, the formula itself is non-comedogenic, meaning it's tested to not clog your pores or trigger breakouts. Instead, it's full of gentle plant extracts to help calm redness and soothe the skin, and it uses a serum-like base with hydrating ingredients like squalane and glycerin that keep it from clinging to dry patches or pilling.
Upon application, it feels super lightweight (almost watery) on the skin and layers seamlessly, whether you use a brush or sponge. Once it sets, it gives a soft, Paris filter-esque finish that smooths texture, evens tone, and makes my skin look like my natural skin, just way more polished and radiant. Even after wearing it for hours on end, it feels more like a skincare step rather than a heavy foundation.
Jasmine Hyman for CosmopolitanBefore and after using the foundation—no concealer necessary!
The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation also plays incredibly well with the rest of my makeup routine. My liquid blush never gets patchy, and it blends especially nicely with other Haus Labs favorites that are also marked down for Black Friday. I'm personally obsessed with the coinciding concealer for brightening under-eyes, and the lengthening mascara. If you want a foundation that smooths your complexion while nourishing with skincare benefits, this is the one to grab while it’s currently 20 percent off.
