I’m really on the fence about this foundation! I love the color match! I have a really hard time trying to find colors that match well and don’t oxidize on me, so it definitely gets a 5 on that...

I've worn this foundation for 2 months now. First, I got a hefty sample but now have the full size bottle in 8.5 (which matches perfectly) & helps bring out the dark golden tones in my skin. It's a...

One of the few foundations I've bought that hasn't disappeared off my nose by mid morning requiring a touch up of either powder or concealor. It's definitely matte and it doesn't get shiny over the...
