Formulated to be hypoallergenic, oil-free, fragrance-free, and dermatologist-tested, it’s designed for sensitive skin types and daily wear. The one-fluid-ounce pump delivers buildable coverage that adapts to your unique undertone while adding light sun protection with broad-spectrum SPF 15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Smart Shade technology find my exact skin tone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTonemimic technology contains microbeads that are initially colorless; when you smooth the cream over skin they burst and mix with the base, creating a custom shade that blends with your natural undertones. The change happens instantly on contact and continues to unify as you buff the product into the skin for streak-free results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrobeads release pigment on application to create a match\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlends seamlessly to adapt to varied undertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium, buildable coverage lets you control intensity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for even, streak-free finish without patchiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finish and coverage can I expect from this foundation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a luminous, natural finish that sits between satin and dewy — designed to reflect light without looking shiny.
