Can we just take a moment for the packaging? I love the way that Avon has started branding their newer products and I feel like they've really embraced a more modern feel to everything, but this might be my favorite. With the frosted glass bottle and the really simple text, it just feels like a step up for them overall. It also has the enormous doe foot that makes slapping my foundation on in the morning really, really easy. Really, really like the aesthetic and practical choices that they made with this foundation, I think they're really thoughtful and well chosen. 

When it comes to the formula, I would personally call this a sort of natural matte finish - definitely none of that dry, chalky matte finish here. It's kind of hard to explain, but I feel like my skin still somehow looks luminous when I use this even though it definitely isn't a dewy foundation. As far as coverage, I would say that it's a light to medium coverage that does a good job of evening out your complexion but still lets some of your skin show through for a more natural look. It's incredibly easy and quick to blend in with my makeup sponge as well, which makes application of this foundation kind of dreamy for me. I actually think that this is the kind of matte foundation that dry and more mature skin types are going to really love because of that natural matte texture and the fact that it definitely maintains hydration and doesn't dry out throughout the day. 

I feel like my obsession with concealer is pretty obvious on this blog, though I realized when I started trying this that it had been a while since I stepped out of my favorites and tried something new - and this one immediately impressed me and became a staple. Like the foundation, it has a modern packaging design with a frosted finish and simple branding, but unlike the foundation this one skipped the huge applicator that seems to have become the standard and went for something smaller and much more precise - something that I think was actually a really, really good choice. 

Being that super dense, high coverage concealers have become the thing in the past few years, I think I had forgotten just how much I like a more lighweight, medium coverage concealer that blends really seamlessly and easily and naturally under my eyes. That's exactly how I would describe this concealer. It's a more natural coverage, incredibly easy to blend, and sits in a really sweet spot where it does have that natural matte finish, but it's not dry or particularly creasey on me. Because, like I said earlier, I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup over the past several months, this has actually become a must have for me because it's what I throw on (along with mascara and a little brow pencil) to wake up my face a little bit when I'm not doing a full face. Again, I think this is going to be a fantastic choice for drier and more mature skin types.
