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 tried this after hearing all the hype, and imo it's not worth it. Coverage wise it's OK, staying power is non existent with both primer and setting spray. To the back of the drawer it's gone.

EDIT: This stuff causes breakouts on me (where I don't ever get acne) and makes the dry areas of my skin itch. I also noticed after several uses that it would oxidate on me turning my face darker...

I wouldn't call this a foundation at all. It looks pretty on the skin but I would recommend using it as a setting power for a liquid foundation if you want more coverage.
