It just looked like I was wearing a sheer layer of makeup on top of my skin, but you could still very much see things like scars and pores. Even after a few coats, it didn't really blur or cover much of anything for me. It just didn't seem to sit on my skin in a flattering way. I know that it's meant to be undetectable and provides medium coverage, but to actually achieve the porcelain-skin look I strive for, it seemed I would have to use a lot of product. One of the cons for me, however, is the sheerness of the coverage. I think that's due to the glycerol and exopolysaccharide in it which help keep your complexion moisturized and radiant for longer wear. It also blends out really nicely with a brush so it isn't a stiff or drying kind of formula. The formula is extremely lightweight so you never feel like you're wearing a face full of makeup. Word to the wise: Dreadon says Clé de Peau’s radiant fluid foundation gives you flawless, hydrated-looking skin for half the price.This isn't a bad foundation, but I can't really say that it's one of my favorites. Also, a few tiny dots of the thick, liquid-gel formula goes a very long way, so consider it a skin-care investment. It left my skin radiant in all the right places, almost as if I had used a highlighter. Any brown spots or redness around my nose and chin vanished instantly with only minimal blending. In fact, the box directs you to apply it with your hands, like you would a skin cream. The formula is so creamy and goes on incredibly smooth, so there’s almost no need to use a sponge or brush (but I still did). But if you think of Clé de Peau’s foundation as the luxury skin-care product that it is (the ingredients list is loaded with skin-plumping extracts and antioxidants) and take the display-worthy packaging into consideration, the price tag makes more sense. Yes, $270 for a single makeup item is steep. The foundations below passed my rigorous test with flying colors and earned the title of “Cut Editor Approved.” If you’re looking for a foundation that will work with your dry skin instead of against it - or you just want your complexion to look dewy and hydrated - these products won’t disappoint.įinish: Radiant | Coverage: Sheer, buildable | Shades: 15 I also noted if any of the foundations were transferring, clinging to dry patches, or just feeling uncomfortable on the skin. Throughout the day, I checked for cakiness and made sure nothing was slipping and sliding around my face. I also took photos after applying each one (and before applying the rest of my makeup). Over the top of each foundation, I applied my normal complexion products: concealer, cream bronzer, cream blush, and translucent setting powder on my T-zone. I did a full-day wear test for every foundation and used the same base products under each one: serum, moisturizer, and my all-time favorite SPF 50 primer by Charlotte Tilbury. Since all good experiments need a control variable (it’s called science, people!), I kept the process consistent. I tried foundations with different finishes (matte, natural, and dewy) and coverage levels (light, medium, full, and buildable), as well as drugstore favorites, mid-price options that are available at Sephora and Ulta, and high-end formulas that are infused with luxury skin-care ingredients. As a dry-skin girl myself, I put the most reliable foundations in my beauty cabinet - along with several new-to-market formulas and a few cult classics that have been sitting in my shopping cart for months - to the test.
