Editor Quote: "It melted into my skin, blending out easily, and it ended up changing tones to look almost exactly like my skin.

After wearing it for a full day and not having any issues with pilling, eye stinging, or separating, I knew this product was going to be a winner. Plus, I've been mixing it with my Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, and the combo has been the perfect base makeup for everyday wear."– Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and social producer, Beauty
