So it's almost been a year since I've reviewed a foundation here on the blog (the last one I published was back in June on the NYX Total Control Drop Foundation), but boy do I have a rather peachy one for you today.

PACKAGING
If Too Faced don't do the sweetest makeup packaging, then I don't know who does because they are always so drool-worthy and fun (much like their Tutti Frutti Collection). The entire Peaches and Cream collection is covered in pink, peach and reflective gold which is very aesthetically pleasing and as a lover of pink, it makes my inner girly girl squeal in excitement. I really enjoy that this foundation comes in a squeeze tube with a pump because it is so travel-friendly, and you also get a huge 48ml of product instead of your standard 30ml which is an added bonus!
FORMULA
Matte and oil-free are the only words I needed to hear to get on board this foundation. Infused with real peaches and fig cream, you can imagine how deliciously sweet the formula itself smells which makes it an absolute joy to apply. The consistency isn't too thick or thin (think BB cream), so it blends seamlessly over the skin without looking streaky or mask-like.
COVERAGE
I can definitely get medium coverage out of this so it does a great job at evening out your skin tone and hiding most imperfections (any stubborn pigmentation peeking through can easily be covered with concealer). If you are using a damp makeup sponge, it will sheer out the coverage slightly but I just love how well it melts into the skin so I don't mind one bit.
FINISH
Just as described, it gives me a 100% comfortable velvety-matte finish to my skin and it looks beautiful! It doesn't look powdery or flat (like some matte foundations), and it also doesn't latch onto drier areas of the skin and completely emphasizing them. My complexion looks flawless, natural and smooth.
LONGEVITY
Most foundations begin to look like a hot mess with my oily skin over the 10 hour mark, but this one holds up extremely well! Since it isn't a heavy duty foundation, I find that it doesn't settle into my smile lines and cake up like thicker and fuller coverage foundations do which I very much appreciate. I have worn it during a hot summer's Christmas day and despite the high temperatures (along with my oily skin type), it didn't break up or melt off my face.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Incredibly impressed by this foundation as a whole and I can totally see why it's loved by so many (the reviews speak for themselves!). Perfect for oily skin types who are after a mattifying, medium coverage foundation that still looks natural on the skin, and controls shine for a long period of time with zero to minimal touch ups. It ticks (almost) every box and that is more than good enough for me!
