First things first, let’s talk about the shades. I don’t feature any brands that don’t have a wide shade range, because it’s 2020, we have iPhones and apps that can literally run our lives, so not having a diverse range of foundation shades is inexcusable.
So, when I found out that there were only 6 shades I was somewhere in between rolling my eyes and asking to speak to someone in charge. But, there’s good reason for it.
The shades were formulated using the Fitzpatrick Scale that takes into consideration things like sun exposure and skin tone to ensure a perfect match. The 6 shades have different undertones and I was pretty shocked that shade 5 was an ideal match for me and also worked for my mum too, despite us being different skin tones. You can get free samples on the website, if you’re unsure.
What got me really excited is the 99% naturally-derived ingredients list. There’s vitamin C, squalane and aloe vera for brightening, protection, hydration and all the moisture you might need. The ingredients that I’d be popping onto my face in a moisturiser, if I wasn’t using this, but I get the extra bonus of some coverage. Plus, I noticed that my skin was in much better condition even once I removed the Tinted Serum at night.
