Reviews

Magic/Sorcery

"I often find matching my skin tone difficult and I don’t like to wear heavy makeup. This product is the best I’ve ever have found lightweight where matches perfectly and it’s magic."

— Brittany B. (5/5)

Took a risk. . .

"I am not a big makeup person, and I can't even tell you the last time I wore foundation, but i picked this up an a whim. I'm so glad I did! It matched my skin tone perfectly, it felt nourishing, and my skin looked like my skin, but better! No thick "mask" look, no dry flakies; just soft, touchable skin with more even skin tone."

— Deb L. (5/5)

Love love love 🥰

"I really don’t like wearing skin tints or foundation. I honestly have not found one that doesn’t break up or even last over the course of the day. I was lucky if I’d get at least an hour or two out of it. Believe me, I’ve tried a lot. I’m 60 years old and I have to say this skin tint is fabulous. It lasts throughout the day. My makeup goes on with it effortlessly. This feels more like skincare than a skin tint. I love love love it. I definitely will be buying this again. If you have been unsure of using a skin tint and have a difficult time finding one that lasts throughout the day. This is the one to use."

Like don’t love

"I really like this CC cream. Def goes on better with a brush. I feel like it matches my skin well but around jaw line there’s a darker line if I don’t really blend super well. Appears more matte on my skin and almost accentuates dryness that isn’t there barefaced."

— Nicole C. (4/5)

Light foundation

"I should've choose a darker shade. But overall the foundation was light and im pleased with my purchase."

— Jovette C. (5/5)

So impressed! 10/10

"I am so impressed with the way this actually works! And a little goes a long ways! I made my husband come watch me put it on, lol, so HE could see the way it transformed from white lotion look to my skin tone. He was wowed! I definitely want my friends to know about this. . . but not so much that it sells out and there's none left for me ;)"

— Colleen M. (5/5)

OBSESSED!!!

"I tried every foundation under the sun. Everything was either to thick and cakey, looked like it was patchy all over my face or never matched my tone. BUT THIS!!!! It matches perfectly, it's light, lasts all day. Covers EVERYTHING I need it to. Will forever stand by this product"
