As amazing as I remember it
Been a long time since purchasing this foundation. I remember the first time years ago I was nearing the end of summer and the shade was just passed the point of matching me as my tan had fully set in. Because of that, I didn’t appreciate or even pay attention to whether it was a good complexion product. Several months later- the following February or so- my skin had lightened again so I pulled this out and I tried. AMAZED.
This was the first “high-end” foundation I ever gave a try. Glad I had the delay though- I had sampled several other mid range formulas so when I got Kevyn Aucoin back in my routine I could genuinely notice and *see* the difference.
The finish is beautiful. It’s luminous and that’s the only word I can think of to describe it. Not shimmery or anything like that- just not flat or drab in the way many inexpensive formulas are. It looks like healthy skin and with an ethereal medium coverage as the name says. It’s also buildable without losing its gentility.
This product is what I use as my standard of comparison for all luxe and higher end formulas from now on. I’ve tried many many other great-reviewed foundations since discovering this years ago but now that I’ve come back to try this again- it is as amazing to me as I remember. It refreshes my memory as a standard and I recall instantly that something extra I see in this formula that made me fall in love.
I won’t try convincing you this one is the best or better than your favorite, but I’ll say if you want a medium (super)natural matte finish-try it and you will not be disappointed
