I won’t even try to explain why the price tag for this foundation is so ridiculous. Other than claims and marketing exaggeration, no matter how you look at it, this is just a good foundation; ironically, it isn’t even a great foundation.
This cream foundation is packaged in a cylindrical component that resembles a tube of deodorant. When you remove the cap you press down on the sides to dispense a small amount of foundation. It’s a cute dispensing system, but it offers no advantage or preferred control for application.
Despite the “cream” in the name, this has a lightweight, silky texture. It blends readily yet sets to a soft matte finish that can look heavy if you aren’t careful. If you want medium to full coverage this is an option. It also contains a high amount of titanium dioxide (it’s the sole active ingredient for the SPF) that contributes to the overall opacity and thickness you’ll experience. Most of the shades are exemplary and include options for fair to light skin tones. Watch out for slightly pink B20 and slightly peach B30. There are no shades for tan to dark skin tones. By the way, Cle de Peau advisors will tell you this foundation has significant skin-care benefits. It doesn’t, at least not if you compare its ingredients with those of several other less expensive foundations, most of which are sold without fanfare for skin-care benefits. But, at this price, Cle de Peau had to come up with some claim why there is an advantage to spending over $100 (or even $20 for that matter) on a foundation.
