The other week I went to a Sephora event to check-out their March/April Hot Now products and was immediately blown away by Josie Maran’s Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation ($42). It’s a sci-fi-like foundation that looks white when you apply it on your skin and then a second later it adapts to your color to blend in seamlessly. It comes in a light and dark shade and I was standing next to a woman of color who took the dark shade, while I tried the light one and it actually worked for both of us! Seriously very cool to play with. Its got a light consistency, which I’m guessing is because of the Argan oil in its formulation, so the plus is that aside from not needing to sort through a bunch of shades to find the right one for you, the Matchmaker works double duty to moisturize skin. I personally prefer a thicker formulation however, so while I don’t think I will be giving up my Sensai Liquid Finish Foundation anytime soon (their Natural Beige saved me from years of less than perfect foundation for my skin tone!), there are a bunch of celebrities that could seriously use some help when it comes to matching makeup to their skin. Who needs this newbie Josie Maran product the most?? Vote in our poll!
“It’s a sci-fi-like foundation that looks white when you apply it on your skin and then a second later…” it turns orange and you look like an oompa loompa. If you would describe your skin as “fair” or “very fair,” run if someone comes near you with this!
