the only thing here is that i would ignore the undertones on the packaging and just go in store and get a match-- i have a warm undertone in the nars and charlottle tilbury foundations but use a cool tone in this one. this also looks better being applied with a brush and has a silocone/water base, so be careful about what primers you use here. pretty good about no transfer so far and takes cream products amazingly w/o smearing! ...I love how my other products(I use a lot of water-based products, this foundation is also waterbased) look on top of this foundation.

I can tell it matches 7/10. This is oil base foundation so it’s quite easy to come off with water and I recommend to apply powder foundation on the top to make sure it’s completed dry before applying couture or cheek blush....You can't use any products underneath with dimethicone or it will separate and then pill.
