Final Thoughts
I liked this and I approve it, but it didn’t LOVE it. I didn’t blow me away, but there’s also nothing I can say that I didn’t like in regards to formula and wear. With one layer, you get medium coverage, but it does build to full coverage. The primer and powder I used in combination with this foundation did give a poreless look. I like the ingredients and the benefits of this as well. The fair and medium shade range is good, but there are not a loot of deep shades.

Powder: Jeffree Star Magic Setting Powder in Rose
Tools: Morphe M439, Real Techniques Sponge

      I think it looks very good on your skin but it is a bit expensive so if u don’t love it then I would definitely not repurchase. Love when u wear red lips girl! You totally rock the reds!!!
