Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

When you find the right shade and you prep your skin well, this foundation looks incredible on camera and in photos. I like to mix it with something more hydrating + illuminating. Stays a long time, great FA-safe option.
Despite the decent ingredients for someone with acne prone skin, I found the consistency and finish of this to be sticky, thick, and a bit unnatural looking. It might work better for those who can pull off heavier foundation application.
