First Impressions & Shade Selection

I picked up shade 220 Linen and decided to start blending with my fingers - the true test for any foundation! The formula feels lightweight but promising, and I'm curious to see how it performs on my pale olive skin tone.

Initial Match Assessment & Oxidation

After initial application, I think this is a really good match! It does oxidize a little bit, which is common with many foundations, so I'm switching to my brush to build up the coverage and see how it settles.

That Glowy Sun-Kissed Finish

Wow, this finish is so glowy in the sun! The skin-like quality really shines through - it's definitely more along the lines of a skin tint than a full coverage foundation, but it's giving surprisingly good coverage while maintaining that natural, radiant look.

The Shade Dilemma Revealed

I'm noticing the color is a little bit off on my neck - it's leaning more peachy than my natural olive undertones. But honestly? It's so beautiful that I'm torn! The formula itself is performing beautifully, even if the shade match isn't perfect.

Now that I've finished my full makeup, I'm really impressed! This foundation covered up any spots I was worried about and played beautifully with all my other cream and powder products. The skincare benefits combined with the gorgeous finish make this a real contender.
