If Double Wear was your go to back in 2016 for those full glam moments, then Futurist Skin Tint is your new bestie for 2025! We no longer seem to be in the days of absolutely caking on makeup like we did almost ten years ago (I'm still doing it....oops). Instead, the trends these days are more natural and radiant. I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd like this because I am not a skin tint or tinted moisturizer type of gal. When I do makeup, I tend to go all in. But, after receiving this in my monthly gratis, I decided I may as well try it. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The formula of this is just impeccable. It has the consistency of a serum (hence the name) and feels completely weightless on the skin. The finish is radiant, but not greasy looking. Your skin truly does get that natural glow when using this product. This foundation also has SPF 20 which helps to protect your skin against UVA & UVB rays. But what I love most about this product is the versatility. If I want to use it as a skin tint, i'll do a couple drops on my face and rub in with my fingers and I've quickly got an even complexion . Or, I can do a few layers of the product to give me the same coverage as Double Wear but with a more radiant finish! I've noticed this foundation plays great with several other creams and powders, which is a major win for a product that's this thin. Now, the two reasons I didn't give this a 5/5 are pretty minuscule in the grand scheme of things. One, I don't really like the dropper style applicator. It can sometimes get clogged (mine does at least) or simply doesn't grab enough product each time it's dispensed. I prefer a pump applicator to make sure every ounce of product is being used, but that's just me being picky. Two, I do wish this had a longer wear time. Their website says 8 hour wear, but I begin seeing separation around 6 1/2 hours. I usually wear this to events where I know I won't have my makeup on for more than a few hours because foundation separating is one of my biggest pet peeves. But other than that, this is a win in my book! This is ideal for the person who wants ONE product that can perform in many different ways.
