Overview

Not a dry, flat matte, this gel foundation is whipped with water so it hydrates while it sets to a soft, velvet finish. It builds from medium to full coverage on normal to combination skin.

Matte coverage that does not feel tight or rough is the reason to choose it. It is made for normal to combination skin, and only the Nude shade is in this listing.

Who it's for

Combination skin that dislikes the tight feel of matte foundations will like the hydrating gel. Very dry or flaky skin may still prefer a dewy formula.
