Shade range is a mess. Complete change. I have worn Colorstay for over a decade. Ivory 110 was the best match for my PPP skin. Maybe a touch too dark and too pink but I made it work with a drop of...

I was on the hunt for a foundation that would work for my oily skin without having to blot. No such luck. Decent coverage and I love the pump. However, this foundation broke me out really badly,...
