How to Apply NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Correctly
The idea of a one-shade-fits-all finishing product may seem unlikely or impossible to some. Yet NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation is marketed as just that. While many who have tried No Foundation Foundation have found it lives up to this promise, some have tested it and have been disappointed, saying the color isn’t universal.
How can it be that some are thrilled with the top seller, while others aren’t? It all has to do with the application.

Is a one-shade-fits-all finishing product possible?
How many times have you bought a foundation, and then applied it at home to find it is too dark, too light, or too “cakey?”
Walk down any beauty aisle, and you’ll find row after row of foundations in various shades. Trying to find a shade that actually matches your unique skin tone can be a daunting and sometimes futile task. So the concept of a product that works for any skin tone may elicit sighs of relief.
NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation, available in one universal shade, provides natural, translucent coverage unlike traditional foundations with heavy matte finishes, which emphasize the tiniest skin imperfections.
What’s special about this product is that it allows the skin’s natural radiance and beauty to shine through. The name of the product has “no” in it, signifying it is and it is not a foundation.
It’s in a class of its own.
In addition, NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation helps to:
- Correct skin undertones
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles instantly
- Boost skin’s natural moisture throughout the day
- Deliver antioxidant benefits and non-chemical UV protection
Does it work? New York Magazine gathered a panel of testers to find out. This is what they found:
- Our panel of testers ranged from pale white to dark-skinned black, with some olive and tan tones thrown in for good measure. Surprisingly, the foundation blended with everyone’s skin, and coverage was subtle and natural looking. A couple of testers found it a tad bit greasy, while (strangely) the one tester with oily skin didn’t find it greasy in the least bit. But we must say that, though the foundation matched everyone perfectly, the dark-skinned black tester found it worked better as a matte-ifier (not a lot of coverage).
The panel found the shade was universal after all. The key to this positive result is a word in the quote above: “blended.” To see why, read on about how to apply the finishing product correctly.
How to apply NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation correctly
If you pump out a dot of NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation, you’ll see the universal shade has a dark goldenrod hue, a tint that helps to even out redness. This shade blends with any complexion when the finishing product is applied properly.
The goal of No Foundation Foundation is to work with the skin to let your skin’s natural beauty shine through. So with No Foundation Foundation, the application involves blending the finishing cream into the skin, rather than layering on top of it as a cover-up.
To apply:
- Apply any other treatments and a moisturizer first. The moisturizer helps No Foundation Foundation blend smoothly over a larger surface area than it would without this first step.
- Press down on the pump only 1 time. A pea-sized amount is usually all it takes, since a little goes a long way.
- Blend No Foundation Foundation into your skin in gentle, circular motions all over face.
- Reapply as often as necessary.
And remember, NV Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation is and is not a foundation. It’s something new and different.

have been using No Foundation for the last six months and I am
Delighted with the result. At my age of 76 in January 12 I do or not
Expect miracles! My next experiment Is Acyl-Ghatathione so fiingers
Crossed get good results!
I just ordered this product from QVC and can’t wait for it to arrive. I use BE now and it is starting to “not work” any longer and I need something to cover my “redness”. I just hope, as advertised, this works! If it does, I can’t wait to try other Dr. Perricone products as a tester. Thank you.
I just watched QVC for this product so I decided to google it to see what people are actually saying.
I love make up and unfortunately, I also need it. I have a plain face that is beautiful with makeup – lots of it.
I currently use Make Up Forever Mat Velvet, which I really like, but I would love to have something that is lighter weight while still providing all the coverage that I need.
I would love to be selected as a tester. My friends are always asking me how I do my eye makeup or my nails, and I would love to share something new with them!
I started using the Foundation No Foundation three weeks ago, and it has completely changed my skin for the better! For the first time EVER, I went to work without my usual layer upon layer makeup. I use this, and only this, and nothing else. No concealer, no powder, just this. And trust me, I have the dark eye circles, blemishes, large pores and broken capillaries that everyone dreads. This product truly is amazing, and I will only buy Dr. Perricone products from now on. Thank you Sephora for turning me onto this line!
As a cynic when it comes to believing manufacturer’s skin product claims, I must admit I never thought I’d actually find something that impresses me as much as Foundation No Foundation. What results! At 54 my skin’s not as it was when I was 24 and I accept that, but boy does this make the most of your skin. Using a moisturiser and primer beforehand means a little goes an awfully long way. I found that just one “pump” (about the size of a pea) is all you need for the whole face. It’s wonderful to apply, doesn’t streak and has a subtle fresh fragrance. Lines and pores do seem to diminish and it leaves the kind of dewy glow to the skin that we drool over in those glossy magazine adverts. It exceeded my expectations and is more than worth every penny.
FIRE!!!!! Run for your life. But, I’ll stay here waiting for my Perricone foundation no foundation to come. Life saver!!
The foundation went on my skin easily with no dragging feeling i get from some high end products ive tried. Felt light and silky and definitely improved my skin. Lines were visibly reduced especially under my eyes.
I didnt need my touche eclat i rely on to correct and conceal.
I just purchased three products – but I would love to be able to test products and give y opinion. I am 48 with fair skin, age spots, white freckles, minor lines and an almost-ready-for-botox vertical line between my eyes.
I have been on an auto-immune diet for Hashimoto’s – anything in the near future in that regard and any soon to be products for white freckles? My dermatologist says there’s nothing to help them except self tanners/body makeup.
A product to help the white freckles would be a new product for people to buy – it would be a huge market!!!!
I do professional sports photography and need and foundation that will last through the NFL season and act as a sun screen.
I’ve just watched a presentation of this product on QVC and after struggling to find an all year round foundation with sun protection I decied to place an order.
I’m very excited about receiving it and have high hopes that it will help to reduce the dark pigmentation my pregnancy has left on my face.
I currently use an expensive french make of skincare and would be interested in trying the other products in this range if the reviews are anything to go by.
I’m hitting the big 40 in a couple of months and am determined to stay looking young! I would love to be chosen as a tester for this product. I am allergic to parabens and have been looking for some new high range paraben free products for a while now. I have tested products in the past and my feedback has always been helpful.
I need/want SPF; I need/want to make the best of my skin & I DON’T need/want heavy coverage. No Foundation Foundation sounds like a dream come true!! If I was lucky enough to get chosen as a tester, I would promise really detailed feedback including photos.****PLEASE CONSIDER ME!!!!****
Hi! I’d love to try this product. I live in australia and having a high SPF everyday is critical. However i struggle finding the right mix of SPF coverage and skin coverage. I hate chemical suncreams so use a zinc then …. I don’t know yet! Working in an air conditioned office all day also dries out my skin. Really hoping I’ve found the answer!!!!
