Final Thoughts
I love the coverage this foundation gives. It’s full coverage with one layer and builds well too. I didn’t need additional coverage, but I wanted to see if would layer without caking and it did. I tried it with the Coty Airspun Powder and the elf Halo Powder and I prefer it with the Coty. My skin looked flawless, smooth, and filtered. The pore reducing primer and powder played a part, but my pores were basically gone. It didn’t make my skin look dry or cakey when set with powder. I had to use white mixer to make the shade work though. I LOVE the formula, but they need to work on the shade range. If there’s a shade match for you and feel like splurging, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. However, there are cheaper foundations that actually match me and work just the same.
