description

Our beloved Balance-n-Brighten foundation makes shade matching a breeze. Color correcting swirls of multicolored liquid pigments are baked for 24 hours on terracotta tiles and hand-finished in Italy. The result is weightless coverage that applies with the ease of a powder but has the benefits of a cream.

I love this product. It evens out my skin without looking like I have anything on. I can just lightly brush it all over my face and run out the door. It gives just enough coverage and makes my face...

I got this in medium from the Toast on the town kit. I vary from a NC25-NC-35 (I tan) and like every kit this is in a medium. I agree with other people the color tone does change a little as you...

I had extremely high hopes for this product, but I don't believe it works for my skin type. First, the color regular (which I bought) is a bit too dark for me, but the color fair is WAY too light....
