The only foundation that works on my skin
I don’t know what it is, almost all other foundations either cling to dry patches or separate in an oily mess on my skin and doesn’t seem to be contributing to break outs. This sits really nicely with a natural finish.
The shade 109 is also really great for my neutral-cool skin. Most drugstore brands are always too orange or pink. Overall very happy with this product.
