Hello friends, my experience with lakme 9to5weightless mousse foundation I bought this foundation in the shade ‘Beige Vanilla’ for my fair skin tone with yellow undertones, and it was the perfect fit. Lakme has done a rather great job with its formula, and as per claims it indeed is really lightweight and does not look cakey on the skin.
The Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation has a super light, silky smooth, moussey texture that spreads effortlessly on the skin. It’s best applied with your fingers, according to what Lakme suggests. I blended it out using a makeup sponge, and the finish looked gorgeous and was way easier. Its fragrance has a very ‘artificial makeup’ smell. However, it isn’t very strong and fades after some time.
The coverage of this foundation is rather sheer to light – it’s perfect for daily use as it looks extremely natural and nothing too over the top. If you are blessed with healthy skin with minor flaws – this works well to even out imperfections and leaves you with a fresh-looking face all day long. However, if you have dark circles, blemishes, and acne scars – you will need to go in with a concealer to get the desired coverage.
I found that the Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation controls oil and shine on my T-zone and leaves my complexion looking brighter and fresher. Its matte formula is completely non-drying, so if you have dry skin, fret not. I like how this foundation feels on my skin – it does not feel heavy or cakey on my skin like most foundations tend to do.
Another factor that I absolutely loved about this foundation was that it did not highlight any dry patches or settle into my pores. It just blurred the pores out, altogether minimizing their appearance. It’s quite versatile and is indeed made for all skin types – be it normal, oily, dry or combination – it just does a good job for every skin type.
If you want more coverage, you can build it up with a second layer as this will work, but make sure you don’t go overboard as this will leave you with a powdery, ashy finish that no one wants.
All in all, this foundation is one that can be realistically worn on an everyday basis, even to work without worrying about the “side effects” of using a foundation on such a regular basis due to its lightweight and moussey texture. I have sensitive skin, and this did not break my skin out or cause any kind of issues on my skin. It also makes for a great summer foundation, and you do not have to be anxious about its formula melting and making your base look like an utter mess.
The Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation stays on for a good 5-6 hours with only minor fading. You can extend its staying power by using a primer underneath the foundation and also by using a compact to set it. Although it’s not waterproof, it is water-resistant to a certain extent and can survive light splashes of water and rain without running down your face.

I would recommend 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation by Lakme especially to those of you who want a foundation for daily wear. If you have decent skin with very minor flaws and issues, this is a great product to give your skin much-desired perfection. It will even out your skin tone and cover redness, but it won’t magically transform or conceal pesky dark spots or blemishes ( for that you will need concealer) .
