It has been a while since I have done a new Foundation Review. I enjoy testing out products, especially on my oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. But for a few years now I discover my skin had changed and I needed to find the right skincare routine that will work before testing out makeup products.
The extreme sensitivity in my skin happened after I took the first and second covid vaccine. I started to notice the products I was already using in my skincare routine were not working in fact I was starting to break out and my skin was as bad as it was before I started my skincare routine. Now that I feel my skin is starting to look a lot healthier I think is a good time to begin testing out makeup products.
Based on the claims I believe this foundation is the right fit for me. Is great for sensitive, acne-prone and oily skin but it also offers plenty of skincare ingredients that will help with many of my current problem areas.

Description About this foundation –
A little more about me, my skin type, and what I look for in a foundation
BEFORE
My skin before applying any foundation is not so smooth or even to say the least, as you may see I struggle with acne, redness, aged spots, acne scars, oily and my skin is also sensitive. Trying a new product can become a challenge but it can also be a reward when doing the research and finding the product that can tackle those problem areas.
AFTER just foundation no makeup yet 10:30am
AFTER with makeup 11am
On my first impression, I did not want to cover any dark spots with a concealer because I wanted to see how this foundation covers without help. I used one pump and apply it using a foundation brush. I like how it felt so light almost like a serum/moisturizer.
For much deeper coverage, I used my fingers and added another pump and that was my final result. It was buildable, not cakey, not heavy, and pretty nice on my skin.
AFTER (7hrs wear) at 5:30pm
My Take
The claims, ingredients, and formula already sound like a win in my book. But what about the performance after my first wear? I like to use everyday wear a nice medium coverage foundation,
(Claims) I enjoy makeup that is lightweight, can last most of the day, is great for my day-to-day activities, and looks natural. Even though I have very visible problem areas in my skin I don’t mind if a little does show. I do enjoy a natural look without feeling heavy. I notice this foundation offers just that, I can see a natural look, it covers any redness I have showing (not the hyperpigmentation spots) and after building up the product it did not show signs of slipping or caking.
(Shade) The color I feel melts in my skin, at first I thought the shade I picked might be too off but after blending it I notice it just melted perfectly into my skin. Overall I am blown away by this foundation and I think it might be my new go-to makeup item.
(Skin Info) After many hours of wearing this foundation I did notice my skin look oily (which is the norm in my case) as the hours passed, I notice it was looking shiny. I tried using a napkin to control the oils and the napkin showed a lot of the foundation. Even though I notice some products were in the napkin at the end of my observation I didn’t notice any product was off, it still looked pretty good on my skin.
