I’m not sure what happened with this. I was using the light medium shade and it was perfect for my skin. My makeup was looking the best it’s ever looked. Bought the same exact shade I’ve been using and it was ORANGE! Looked like someone spray tanned my face only. It also has nowhere near the coverage it had before and is very patchy. Have to throw away now and won’t be buying again.
Way too orange!

I bought the light and love the concept. But it is way too orange once applied. So bad that I couldn’t wear it one time and had to throw away a brand new tube. If this can be worked out this is a great concept.
Horrible for cool tones

I have neutral /cool skin. Usually I can pull either. And very light. I got this in their light version and it did not tone match well at all. It turned very orange and was unwearable for me. I can see it working for someone with warm toned skin, and even then they may not need bronzer. I will be returning ASAP. Not impressed.
Terrible smell

Even though the package says this is fragrance free, it has a terrible smell. I was hoping the smell would go away after it dried on my skin, but it did not. I had to wash my face to get rid of the smell. Gross.
Best Foundation ever!

I found this product strange. Comes out white then blends to a light tint. This foundation had no coverage. It was like putting on a tinted moisturizer.
Need to go one to two shades lighter

Love the consistency, don’t love the color. I got the color “light” and it is still too dark when I’m self tanned. I guess I could try the lightest color but I can’t imagine it being a big enough difference from light.

I bought the fair to medium and it is way too yellow/orange for my skin tone. I might try the just the fair. The first time it went on too dry, so I put on the second time while my moisturizer was still wet and it did better. I hope the the fair matches better.
This is the best

Why tiny black flecks?

I dearly love this foundation and have been using it for years but with the last couple of tubes there are tiny black flecks all over my face after applying. I've tried shaking the tube prior to application but that doesn't seem to help. What is causing this?
What the heck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my favorite when I put spice foundation on my face stays long lasting without damage. It’s really good scent as well. It does cover lines too
Almost no coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a strange product for me. I'm very fair but this came out of the tube almost white. It did blend out to a better match on my skin, but had almost zero coverage. If you're looking for a very light skin tint this might work for you.
It’s nice to find full coverage easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coverage was full matte finish. There’s no real scent to it so that’s a plus. The shade wasn’t off by none it was the perfect shade. The small containers are way to keep in my purse for small touch ups
Not the most ideal match for dry skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nope. Sorry. It’s gritty and sits on top of the face making it very difficult to blend out. I sometimes still use this product for daily wear but you have to make sure you have the time to blend it out. The packaging is a bit leaky and I wish it came in a pump. It also has a very strong smell in case anyone is sensitive to that.
Very happy

What a surprise! I used to use a L’Oréal foundation that has been widely discontinued so I bought a few different kinds to try. Was not expecting the white out of the bottle, and was pleasantly surprised when it morphed into the perfect shade for my skin. ( I used the Light tone) all the complaints I see here seem to be from the darker tones. Anyway it stays on and covers well. Exactly what I was looking for 👍

I bought this the other day without realizing it comes out white like the concealer, which is already a problem. The Light color then turns a sallow yellow and is difficult to distribute; perhaps I should have bought Fair color, but I do not want my skin to look lighter than it already is. I will not buy this again and have wasted my money, as far as I am concerned.
Best foundation

I really like the texture on my face. But, I bought "light to medium" as that 's my winter to summer skin tone and it's too orange! What's the closest (lighter), less orange, shade to try?
Very disappointed
