6.5W

Tried this after years of foundations that pull too yellow or too pink, and 6.5W actually matches my medium skin without looking ashy. The buildable finish is perfect for evenings when I need a bit more coverage, and it doesn’t settle into my smile lines by noon.

The finish lives up to the "natural" promise—it melts into my skin without looking cakey, and the warm tone actually warms up my face instead of turning orange. I've worn it through a busy workday and it stayed put nicely, which is more than I can say for pricier foundations I've tried.

The shade match is spot-on for my medium skin, and the warm undertone keeps it from looking ashy in photos. Buildable is the right word—one pump covers my redness, and a second layer smooths out the rest without getting cakey.
