Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Chantecaille Future Skin Oil-Free Gel Foundation is a reformulated, medium-coverage gel that melts into skin for a smooth, blurred, satin finish. Professional makeup artist Mandy Davis MUA relies on it for bridal parties and makeup-shy clients, calling it "super special" under the eyes. Tania B. Wells says it's her most-used foundation, hydrating and long-lasting, while Dacey Cash notes the new formula dries quicker and blurs more but requires more skin prep and may have shade discontinuation issues.
