Reviews

Everything customers tell us about this foundation gets published here — including the parts that aren't flattering.

Why this page exists

Most review sections are a highlight reel. Five stars, cropped, sorted so the good ones sit on top. That is useful to the shop and useless to you, because the only review that would actually help you decide is the one from the person whose skin is closest to yours — and that is exactly the review that tends to get buried.

So we publish all of them. If it sat too light, that gets posted. If the pump was awkward, that gets posted. We would rather lose a sale to an honest review than take money from someone this was never going to work for.

What we ask reviewers to include

A star rating on its own tells you almost nothing about a foundation. When you leave a review, we ask for three things instead:

  • Your usual shade range — fair, light, light-medium, medium. This is the single most useful thing you can tell the next reader.
  • How you applied it — fingers, sponge, brush, and whether you blended for the full sixty seconds.
  • What it looked like after a few hours, in daylight, not in the mirror right after.

How to leave one

You will get an email a couple of weeks after your order asking for it — long enough that you have actually worn it out a few times, which is when your opinion is worth something. You can also write to us directly at any time and we will add it.

Reviews are never edited for content. We fix typos and nothing else.

What we will not do

We do not buy reviews, we do not run incentives for five stars, and we do not delete critical ones. If you ever see a review here that reads like it was written by a marketer, tell us and we will look into it.

Read the shade range before you buy

Most of the disappointed reviews in this category come down to one thing: the buyer was deeper than the formula's range and nobody told her before checkout. Our range is published on the product page, above the buy button, for exactly that reason.
