Foundations and skin tints
If you’re going to wear foundation or skin tint, make it so smooth and wearable you don’t even feel like you’re wearing anything. You just look glowy and gorgeous.
Like an actual dream. It’s like skincare + makeup had a baby. You don’t feel like you need to wash this off hours later. It just.. rests on your skin. 🥰
The Foundation Drops with TFC8
I remember the first time I used this. It’s like the first day you try ADHD meds and you realise you’ve been doing life weird for ages. Weird example but that’s how it felt.🤣 it’s just very wow factor-y. Light but amazing glow and buildable coverage...
