about-face THE PERFORMER Skin-Focused Foundation MD1Olive – Medium Coverage, Long-Wear, Breathable & Buildable Base – Clean, Vegan, Hydrating Formula with Blue Agave & Chlorella – 1.08oz

This has become my new HG foundation. The texture, the feel, and the undertone are everything. As a fair cool-neutral with an olive undertone, it can be very hard to match foundation, so I was excited to try this. It works very well for my skin tone—slightly more olive than Natasha Denona N2, which is the best color match I’ve ever found, but it’s fine when it blends out. What really sold me on this is the texture. It’s got a very light, cushiony serum feel that gives a beautiful satin finish that smooths out my textured areas and looks like skin. It dries down very quickly, but not so much you can’t blend it. The coverage is light to medium, it doesn’t settle into my lines and pores, and it feels so nice on my face—smoothing and more like skincare than makeup. I find it wears very well, enough for an 8 hour day, it does absorb a bit depending on how I prep it. A good gripping primer and setting spray will definitely extend the wear. What I like is that even when the coverage wears down a bit, the makeup doesn’t get that cakey, smeary breakdown look or settle into my lines. It just melts into my skin and continues to give a soft satin glow. For reference, I have combination skin with fine lines and enlarged pores and I’m 47. So this is definitely good for older skin.

I absolutely love this serum foundation in the shade olive. It’s very difficult to find an olive shade. This is lightweight, feels so good on my 53yr old skin. Gives a nice coverage and doesn’t highlight wrinkles even after wearing it all day. This is the first time in years I found a product that works for my age group, The serum foundation moisturizes my dry skin with a subtle glow while providing coverage.

I was looking for a foundation that works for my light Olive skin tone. I'm more on the neutral side, but anyone who has this color complexion will understand the difficulty in finding a good match. I have used the liquid eye shadow (which is very nice) and decided to try this foundation. I am pleased with the product. It has not settled in my pores or fine lines, and the color matched well. Just make sure to prep your skin well and use a damp sponge. I used a flat foundation brush and it settled in the pores on my nose.

Years ago I worked in high end make-up sales and have kept up on different foundations since then. This is a great formula - thin, looks natural, and gives good coverage. I also appreciate the range of color choices.

Perfect foundation looks like clear skin, very dewy for my dry skin, stayed on throughout multiple performances. 10/10 would get again.

I have fair skin, but could never find a foundation that didn’t do weird things to my face color. I finally figured out I have olive skin by holding a white piece of paper next to my face and seeing green. Most main line foundation products are too dark. Or too green. So I thought I’d give this a try. I couldn’t believe it. The color blended in perfectly with my skin. The coverage is medium, so I can use a light concealer under my eyes and then use the foundation over it. Truly a wonder.

Really smooth finish, buildable coverage, perfect match to my skin tone, really lovely overall !

I have very pale, evenly neutral skin, so I have a terrible time finding a good foundation shade. Everything is either too pink or too yellow (usually too yellow in my experience), so I've made do the past 10 years, but this is the first to literally blend into my skin. I layered this on the back of one hand and layered a different brand with a similar shade on the other then went to my boyfriend to see which hand doesn't have makeup on it. He choose the about-face hand right away. Solid foundation for ghostly skin!
