Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation
Summary of Reviews
The m.ph by Mary Phillips Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation has a fluid, serum-like texture that sets to a natural satin finish, similar to the original Armani Luminous Silk but with less glow. It offers buildable light-to-medium coverage, feels hydrating and weightless on the skin, and is recommended for dry skin types or those who prefer a natural, skin-like look. Professional makeup artist Lisa J notes it didn't self-set, and Erin Nicole TV mentions a slight fragrance and some clinging to dry patches.
