True Skin Serum Foundation

My holy grail — the first foundation I've used for a year without a breakout

I've broken out from more foundations than I care to count — silicone-heavy formulas, fragranced ones, things with essential oils. My skin reacts to all of it. True Skin is the first foundation I've used for over a year without a single reaction. The ingredient list is genuinely clean and fragrance-free, which is the main thing for me. SF4 is a good match for medium neutral skin. Coverage is light-to-medium on first application but builds nicely. Finish is natural and skin-like. It doesn't last quite as long as a conventional foundation but for sensitive skin people who've struggled to find anything that doesn't cause problems, that trade-off is absolutely worth it.

Clean formula that doesn't compromise for deeper olive tones

I was sceptical a serum foundation would give me the coverage I need, but True Skin does more than I expected. SF5 is a solid match for medium-deep olive. The finish is natural — not dewy, not matte, just skin-like. I appreciate the minimal ingredient list, no fragrance, and it hasn't aggravated any sensitivity. The caveat for deeper-toned shoppers: the shade range is more limited here than Fenty or MAC, so check swatches carefully. If your shade exists in the range I think you'll like it. This is my lower-key daily foundation when I'm not in Houston summer mode and need something lighter.
