What the gurus are saying

Skin Obsessed Mary and Dr. Sam Ellis rate it highly; Cassandra Bankson passed. Cassandra Bankson: "I know how this foundation works on me just straight out of the tube, so I'm going to compare straight out of the tube like I usually use it to how it works when it is froth."

"I know how this foundation works on me just straight out of the tube, so I'm going to compare straight out of the tube like I usually use it to how it works when it is froth. When I tried it froth with water, it felt cold and wet and like a lot of foundation. I thought it was going to be lightweight when you froth something, but it didn't feel that way. It started out drying down beautifully with a velvet finish, but it creased really badly. After just a few hours, my greasy skin came through in my T-Zone and I was flaking and dry and patchy. On textured skin, I can still see my texture, my little blemishes are still popping up, and it's not covering very well. I cannot recommend this to anybody. This is not something that I will do again."

"I've been a huge fan of the Charlotte Tilbury lip products for such a long time and I hadn't tried any of the complexion products, but wow, they're awesome. This is definitely a medium coverage foundation that I can also shear out depending on how I apply it. A medium coverage foundation can basically take away all of my redness, get rid of some of my hyperpigmentation and melasma, but still give me a very natural look. I really like this packaging because it's incredibly convenient and super lightweight. It applies very beautifully with just your fingertips so I don't need my brush or beauty blender. It feels very hydrating and nourishing on the skin and doesn't really weigh my skin down even though it has really good coverage. In some ways it reminds me of the IT Cosmetics CC cream where when you apply it you're like my skin looks flawless, but it's not as heavy and doesn't tend to get as cakey."

"I also really love the foundation within this line and again it's because it makes your skin look so good it's not that you're just using it as paint to cover up your blemishes but it really enhances the look of your skin."
