What the gurus are saying

This foundation holds up through a full day of wear without creasing or fading, earning praise for its balance of lightweight texture with mattifying control that still looks natural rather than heavy. The shade range is extensive with many undertones available, so getting matched in store is worth the trip to find your perfect fit. Those who've tried it tend to reach for it regularly as their go-to for days when they need their base to stay put.

"I wear the shade six. This wears extremely well on me, so it's something I've been reaching for on days where I just need my foundation to look good for hours on end. I actually filmed an entire review video on this with a full wear test and tried this out in a proper day of my life being a busy mom running around and it survived that test. It's such a beautiful foundation. Very lightweight but mattifying and controlling and flawless looking but still natural. It's a fabulous foundation."

"Rare Beauty Foundation. I am loving this. I wear the shade six. This is a great one. This is a foundation that you would probably want to go in stores to get yourself matched to because they have so many options and so many undertones. I've been really loving this foundation lately."
