-Lightweight
-Lightweight
-Good coverage
- Beautiful dewy finish leaves skin looking smooth
Cons:
- Beautiful dewy finish leaves skin looking smooth
Cons:
- the lightest color (which is the one I bought) is just a hint dark for me - it'll probably work in the summertime; folks are saying that it oxidizes on them but I set mine with a powder and I feel like it minimizes the oxidation somewhat.
Update as of March 2022: There is now a lighter shade called Shell.
- the above said, this moves when you try to set it so I feel that it ends up providing less coverage
Alright so honestly I really like this foundation and would really love to also get a bottle of my beloved L'Oreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup so I can compare them side by side and decided which one I like better. I love the finish and the coverage it provides, I love how easily it applies on the skin and blends. My biggest beef really is that the color is a bit off and that setting it with powder knocks off some of the coverage.
What do I use to apply the product?
