Claims / Ingredients

Coverage Foundations are full-coverage formulations available in a comprehensive shade range across 21 shades. These foundations contain higher pigment levels than our Serum Foundations but still offer a smooth finish that avoids the heavy makeup look that can make skin appear more aged. The texture is that of a lightweight, non-oily cream. The pigments used in these formulations are treated for a rich, highly-saturated effect. These pigments are suspended in our proprietary spreadability system that allows pigments to look natural on the skin, resist collecting within fine lines and stay on for longer. The foundations offer a semi-matte finish and are compatible with most primers and are designed to work exceptionally well with the primers offering from The Ordinary.

The only reason this isn't a full five stars is that it doesn't wear super-well on me, but I think that's more on my skin than on the formula. It's very high coverage (the only foundation I've used with more coverage was It Cosmetics) and applies well. Best of all in my opinion is that it's easily mixable with its partner formula (the serum foundation) to customize level of coverage. For now, this is my HG of foundations.

I'm a NC30/2W2 Rattan for reference and this matches me perfectly. I would say this a buildable foundation if properly moisturized & primed. Only con about this foundation is that when I apply concealer it lifts the foundation. So I have to apply with my finger. Other than that I really enjoy this foundation & the price point is not horrible.
