The perfect light-medium neutral
I only leave long reviews when I really love something…. I have an extremely difficult time finding foundation that matches my undertone and provides any type of coverage. Companies label cool, warm, and neutral but in my experience it’s accurate maybe 50% of the time. I’ve wasted sooo much money trying to find decent matches. Doing in-store matches with sales associates has been a waste of time because they still can’t appropriately match me, each one tells me I have a different undertone. I research like crazy and hoped this would be a good match and Tawny 320 is perfect! For comparison wet n wild photofocus soft beige is a true 1000% match for me as well as Bite changemaker L40. My summer tan match is KVD medium 54 cool in my contour areas, which is still too yellow on me, and in the winter I use Tarte Amazonian clay 26N light-medium neutral for my highlight areas. I’m 42 and my skin texture isn’t the greatest and has went from oily to combination over the years so it’s sometimes difficult to find a foundation that isn’t too mattifying causing my skin to look overly dry or so dewy that I look flat out greasy. First time using I applied a thin layer with my fingers late in the day to completely unprepped skin, no serums, moisturizer, or primer. The texture is thicker/creamier than I expected which is a positive for me because it provided more coverage. It wasn’t overly hydrating or drying, perfectly in between. It didn’t settle into my fine lines or my pores which is usually a problem for me. It also didn’t oxidize, not even the slightest, didn’t irritate my skin, and lasted without any skin prep. It’s a medium coverage without being feeling heavy or looking caked on. If you’re looking for a dewy, glistening look this isn’t it. i feel like it’s ideal for combination skin but can work for oily or dry if skin is properly prepped. My only complaint is how little product you get, it’s .75 oz so this won’t last long. But for the price I paid it’s worth it Read more
