struggled with acne for a long time and was used to wearing very full coverage foundations (estee lauder double-wear, which i still swear by), but since my skin has cleared up i've been looking for something with a light, natural coverage that still hides acne scars/helps ease redness. i tried probably 5 different "light coverage/tinted moisturizer" type foundations and never found one that actually looked natural AND still covered what i needed it to for those no makeup-makeup type of days. then a sephora employee who i think i owe my life to now told me to try this one and i was super hesitant, but purchased it and now i can't image life without it (i've had it for 5 days). i'm obsessed. and it smells amazing i didnt even know that was a thing foundations could do. it looks unbelievably natural, feels like there's nothing on your face, and covers up my acne scars/dark spots, and does not oxidize. holy grail item i'm not kidding. ...First of all my skin is combination, acne and redness but with my pregnancy my skin is all over the place. ...your no-makeup makeup holy grail i promise
