Love this foundation

I'm so happy the owner Jennifer suggested I try this clean foundation. For many years, I used a pressed mineral foundation as I did not like the feel of liquid foundation on my skin. This product covers well with very little product and feels light on my skin. I will continue to purchase this product. Thanks, Jennifer

The best foundation I've ever used

Extremely natural looking, lightweight, doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation. A little goes a long way. I have oily skin and sometimes find makeup starts looking shiny or "makeup-y" through the day, but this lasts all day and evening for me and looks just as good at the end of the day. Better than Nars and YSL.

Light & moisturizing

The first thing I noticed about this product is how smooth it goes on. It is light and moisturizing, yet provides good coverage (I have the "Rachel" colour). You really don't need to use much at all so it lasts a long time.

Best foundation I have found

Great coverage and blends well with my skin tone. Nice and light, doesn't leave my face feeling heavy or caked with makeup.

Excellent Overall Product

This foundation is a perfect match for my skin tone. It blends nicely, does not require a lot of product for even coverage and has a nice smooth texture that comes on really natural looking. Canadian company with natural ingredients. I used to use Guerlain and YSL foundation but not in years and will never go back. Peace out !
