“This foundation by Smashbox is lightweight and hydrating. I use it daily because it provides medium coverage without budging or looking cakey even hours after I’ve applied it. It’s also easily buildable and gives my skin that dewy, lit-from-within-glow. It's easily one of my most trusted products and if you have dry yet sensitive skin like I do, it definitely deserves a spot on your makeup shelf.”
“Even though it’s super lightweight, it gives me full coverage. It’s also extremely long-lasting, so I don't need to touch up my base if I’m going day to night. Added benefit - it has SPF. Feels nothing short of skin on skin.”
“This was a total game-changer for my super oily skin when I first started using it a few years back. It gives a smooth, matte finish that stays all day and also isn’t heavy or greasy. MAC actually revamped this product recently, so now it has a more convenient packaging, too. The recommendation is nothing new, of course, but it’s a cult-favourite for a reason.”
“This one is true to its name as it stays in place from morning to late-night. It gives me full coverage without feeling heavy and keeps everything looking intact, even after a long day. I usually end up making post-work plans and love that it doesn’t require any touch-ups. If you’re like me and need something that lasts and looks good, this is your foundation.”
“I love a good matte finish that doesn’t feel heavy; and this foundation does exactly that for me. It’s lightweight, so it offers just the right amount of coverage. It also keeps the face shine-free for long hours. Super easy to blend, great for daily use, looks natural and smooth—what else could you ask for in the morning?”
