Kosas

I've only been using this for a short time but so far I really love it. I have the shaded Tone 6 (Med olive) and the shade is just right as far as undertone goes. It's not easy to find a shade in any brand geared toward olive skin tones. I normally end up wearing the best match I can find in a neutral which is usually fine but not ideal. This is just a touch dark for me in winter on it's own but because I usually add it to physical sunscreen I can pretty much adjust as light or as dark as needed. This contains no sunscreen in the formula and that is my preference. I like to be able to add this to my preferred sunscreen during the day or wear it on it's own at night . I haven't had any issues mixing this with either my Missha silicone based sunscreen or Elta MD UV Clear and it applies well over the Sephora All Day Hydrator moisturizer. After my moisturizer absorbs I mix a couple drops of the Kosas in my palm with sunscreen and rub it in like I normally would. No pilling or balling up. On it's own this absorbs pretty quickly and it actually dries down with no oily residue but wears the best when mixed with the Missha. This is obviously not a full coverage foundation. Medium would be pushing it. I like the natural undetectable coverage though and don't mind spot concealing any problem areas and the oils seem to balance out my t-zone. My only complaint other than the pricey $42 per ounce is that it's really difficult to control coming out of the tube. I usually get way more than I need without even squeezing the tube. At that price you don't want to waste product so I hope it lasts long enough to justify repurchasing.

I'm 53 years old, green eyes, very fair, reddish dark blonde hair & this (along with Kosas "Fringe") is one of my most favorite lipstick purchases in years. A very flattering neutral nude red, with great, smooth application. It is a tiny bit on the dry side, but feels perfect over a lightly applied lip balm. Lasts very well, too! I especially love this as an everyday lipstick, especially for work. Love the sleek black square packaging. Closes with a satisfying magnetic click.

I've only used this a few days but I really like it! This formula is lightweight but buildable. I have dry skin and I'm always on the hunt for a foundation that makes me dewy. This looks very natural.
