Great for acne prone skin...[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is super lightweight, and has a glossy finish which I love, I did get a shade too dark on accident so I just mix it with some lighter foundation and it looks great, doesn’t feel heavy on the face and isn’t breaking out my skin which is a huge plus if you’re acne prone. The packaging is super elegant looking and classy. ...Nice texture but maybe not for acne prone skin...Overall, it is a great foundation and worth trying if you want to splurge, but it may not be ideal for acne prone skin.
