A staple product

I like how this foundation blends into my skin and gives me good coverage without looking too heavy. It leaves my skin looking smooth and natural, and I can build it up when I want a little more coverage. Definitely one I'd recommend if you want something that looks good without feeling like you're wearing a lot of makeup! This was gifted by nars.

On my 5th bottle
