description

A medium-to-full coverage foundation that smooths the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin and delivers a radiant glow. Illusion® Hyaluronic Skin Tint is a hydrating and firming foundation that evens out the skin tone, softens imperfections, and boosts moisture levels in the skin. It is formulated with Hourglass’ Hyaluronan Complex, an advanced form of hyaluronic acid that plumps while filling in deep wrinkles. Pearlescent pigments infuse the complexion with a luminous glow. The whipped formula's creamy texture creates medium-to-full coverage while providing broad spectrum SPF 15 sun protection.

This is expensive at $56, and I feel guilty buying it. I have gone through several tubes, however, so I guess it is worth it. I have yet to find anything else like it. It is simply a dry skinned...

"Ivory" is a peachy beige that looks too orange and dark on my very fair golden skin. The shades seem to run way too cool. Stupid name as it implies you're getting a light, moisturising tinted...

I really want to like this. The color is good (Vanilla) and I don't need to use very much because it is very pigmented. But, for some reason it seems to sit on top of my skin. I usually apply with...
