I’m new to the spf-in-makeup thing and the foundation from this brand stings my eyes, but I’m glad I tried the blush because it’s beautiful! It makes me want to put on more SPF, and it makes it very easy to remember to incorporate sun coverage into my routine. I got the January cool pink one and it compliments my skin tone nicely. I’m trying the coral one next! Blends well and looks natural.
