Such a Beautiful Finish!
I was really interested in trying this out, as it ticked off all the boxes in what I like in a foundation. This is definitely not a "skin tint". It is a thicker consistency that I feel is medium to buildable/full coverage.
I have used this with several primers: I received a free sample of the BECCA First Light primer and it looked so radiant and so so beautiful and it lasted the whole day with this primer. I tried it with the Hourglass Veil Mineral primer and it looked just as beautiful as the BECCA. I tried with drugstore primers as well and I found it looked great with most any primer I tried.
I also apply this with a foundation brush and I find that works much better than the sponge. I find with a sponge, it seems to pick it up off my skin and not deposit it properly on my face. A brush is the way to go.
I have maturing, dry skin that can get combo in the summer.
My one sort of take away is that for me when I first put this on, it doesn't look wonderful for the first 5-10 minutes. I think once it warms up to my skin and gets "settled" on my skin so to speak, it just looks amazing. I also mix this with other foundations and it has helped those other foundations to look pretty on my skin.
This did not oxidize on me either. It is just really really beautiful. Totally worth the price.
Unsure...
I'm really on the fence with this product! First off, it's not a skin tint whatsoever. This is a medium to full coverage foundation. It's also a bit unpredictable. Some days it sits beautifully on my skin and I'm in love with it and other days it doesn't seem to want to cooperate at all, meaning it looks patchy in spots and doesn't blend right. I'm still trying to figure out the right primer and brush combo for this. Super moisturizing primers like Bobbi Brown's Face Base seem to be the best option. It's quite thick so lately I've been mixing it with other foundations that are more on the liquid side and that seems to work well. For $56 I wanted it to work on it's own without a lot of messing around so that's been disappointing. But because it does look beautiful when I get it right I'm not ready to give up just yet.
I am in looooove with this tinted moisturizer. It is a little thicker than what you would expect for a moisturizer but it goes on so smoothly, it lasts all day long and it feels like a dream on your skin. I will definitely be repurchasing this again and again.
