I love this foundation! I have very difficult coloring to match as I am dark but with pink tones. The only foundations that are beige with pink undertones are this Luminous Silk in 5.25 and Chanel...

It's one thing having alcohol in a foundation, but it's another charging £37 for it. It is a cheap ingredient used to make cosmetics feel more weightless but it is very bad for your skin. So don't...

Not a good foundation. It's ridiculous to pay an arm and a leg for a name and cheap chemicals that damage our skin and health. This foundation is full of cancer causing agents. Every product we use...

I've worn this twice now and overall, I quite like it. It's a fairly full coverage foundation, but I try and sheer it out a little more with a dampened beauty blender and it seems to work. I have a...

I found that this foundation was too heavy coverage. It felt like it sat on top of the skin. It didn't give me a dewy look as I have had from other foundations. The color selection was too orange...

When I first purchased this I was not immediately impressed and would have given it a 2. It's not a summer foundation for everyone, it works better if lightly powdered. Now that the major heat has...

So worth the hype! I would give this five stars for the shade selection alone. I'm always in between shades - I'm NC25-30, but never either one otherwise it looks too light, dark, or orange. I...

Best foundation I've used. To be fair I haven't tried many foundations because I have decent skin (normal leaning towards dry, and doesn't require heavy coverage) so I tend to stick to bb cream...
