What the gurus are saying

Gurus praise the formula's unique gel texture and versatility under makeup, noting it's rich enough to wear alone. The main point of friction is shade matching: reviewers consistently mention needing to mix two shades to find their perfect color, suggesting the range may not account for all undertones.

"I've been using Polite Society because it's like a gel base. The gel cream, you can sheer it out. It's more gelatinous, it's not truly a gel cream but it operates like a gel would."

"The Polite Society Foundation is a very full coverage foundation, I would say medium to full. You can kind of shear it out if you want but you're going to get coverage with this. I have to mix two shades to get my perfect color, I mix Very Fair C with a little pump of Very Fair N, which is the more neutral color."

"It's a beautiful formula that works so well underneath makeup. It's honestly rich enough to use on its own. I normally mix two shades of this foundation because it gives really good coverage."
