Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This formula splits reviewers sharply. One expert found it distinctly drying, accentuating flakiness and texture while settling into a tight, matte finish that can make skin look worse on anything less than a perfect skin day; the shade Bliss also ran too light. Another praised how plump and balanced her skin looked in it, noting it stayed hydrating without greasiness and didn't settle into fine lines.
