  Pros

  The foundation itself has no coverage, but I was satisfied with its clear, thin, and non-darkening long-lasting quality. It finishes with a natural glow, similar to the amount of sunscreen applied.

  Cons

  First of all, I have a combination skin type that leans more towards dry. Throughout my life, I've tried drugstore products as well as high-end foundation brands from department stores, and their main lines. Since my skin is naturally resilient, I was able to use most products without any issues. However, after using this foundation for just two days, my entire skin condition flipped for the first time in my life. It wasn't just breakouts, but my whole face became itchy, blotchy, and the pores became rough and uneven, like small bumps all over. After stopping use and only applying a moisturizing cream for three days, my skin calmed down. I had used Armani products like Lasting Silk and Power Fabric without any problems before, so I used this one without worry. But what happened... There were no changes to my skincare routine, and the moment I stopped using this foundation, my skin improved, so the issue can only be attributed to this product. Looking at the ingredients, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly bad, but I'm not sure what the problem is. + In the past, I had a similar itchy, blotchy reaction when using the Skinfood Propolis Ampoule, so those who didn't get along with that product should be cautious as well.

  Tip

  Aside from the skin reaction after using it, just looking at the makeup itself, the foundation helps create a good base and when applied with a damp cushion puff and setting spray, it gives a natural, glowing finish, similar to having just sunscreen on good skin (I bought the 1.5 shade as I usually use 23 in summer and 21 in winter, and it matched well). It doesn't cover redness and blemishes much, but it has a blurring effect on pores and blackheads. I used a hydrating skincare routine, then applied Guerlain Lingerie de Peau as a base, followed by the cushion puff with MAC Fix+ and the Neo Nude foundation, only powdering the mask-contact areas with Make Up For Ever powder. If you don't want the glow, you can just do the skincare, use an oil-controlling base, and apply the foundation by gently patting it on with your fingers instead of using a damp puff. + When you first open the tube, the product will keep oozing out even without squeezing, so before use, flip the tube upside down and gently tap the opposite end to push the excess back in.
