Okay, so I finally caved and bought this hyped-up foundation after seeing it everywhere on my feed. Here's the real tea:
First impression? The packaging feels luxe - that frosted glass bottle gives major bougie vibes. The pump dispenser is a lifesaver for controlling how much product comes out.
I got shade 'Cashew' which matched my medium-tan skin PERFECTLY. Like scary perfect match - props to their shade range!
Application was dreamy. It blends like butter with either a brush or sponge. Didn't cake up around my nose (which is my problem area with most foundations).
Coverage is medium but buildable without looking mask-like. Covered my redness but still let my freckles peek through for that 'my skin but better' look.
Now the real test - longevity. I wore this for a 12-hour workday (hello Zoom meetings and coffee runs) and it held up impressively. Only needed minimal powder touch-up on my T-zone around hour 8.
The finish is this gorgeous natural glow - not too dewy, not too matte. Perfect Goldilocks situation.
Only con? The price tag hurts a bit ($48 ouch). But considering how little product you need per application, I think it'll last me ages.
Verdict: Worth the splurge if you want a foolproof, long-wearing foundation that doesn't feel heavy. New holy grail alert!
