I have rosacea, the occasional breakout, and the faint smatterings of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
When all three collide, my skin looks flushed, uneven, and speckled with ever-so-fading dark spots.
Certainly, I’m not afraid to go makeup-free during flare-ups, I just don’t prefer it.
I have more confidence with a touch of color to ease the redness and shadowy marks.
But I never like to look too done up.
So finding the right foundation is key.
I need one that provides me the coverage I’m looking for while still letting my skin shine through.
It’s a delicate balance.
But one thatJones Road’s What The Foundationseems to strike just so perfectly.
I fell in love with this formula at first touch.
From a purely sensorial standpoint, this is a feast.
Well, this foundation smooths onto skin, gently covering up any concern, from big to small.
Dare I even say: It’s fun to apply with your fingers!
Each method worked incredibly well with this lush texture, which isn’t always the case.
When using any foundation, I always start on my cheeks, where most of the redness is concentrated.
Like magic, this diffuses color evenly across the skin so it’s a natural finish.
While this does provide a natural finish, a sheer tint this is not.
This number does it all.
But we wouldn’t be mindbodygreen if we didn’t talk about the ingredients.
Sodium hyaluronate is a form ofhyaluronic acidthat drives hydration into the epidermis.
And a cocktail of antioxidant-rich plant oils and waxes provide the cushy texture.
But let’s talk about wearability.
I got my samples delivered in the spring.
I live in New York City.
I’m loath to carry an umbrella.
What does this mean?
I get caught in the rain a lot.
And this formula stayed with me, even if my mascara wasn’t so lucky.
Try not to get hung up about it.)
The takeaway.
Looking for a foundation that can go from barely there to full coverage?
This buildable cream sinks into skin with a velvet, natural finish.
