What the brand claims
In the brand’s own words, quoted as written.
“Serum Foundation offers a light, natural finish with moderate coverage that blends seamlessly for a real-skin look. Formulated with a high-spreadability suspension system, it resists settling into fine lines and is suitable for all skin types, available in 36 shades across four tone categories, each further defined by depth and undertone—cool (P, R), neutral (N), or warm (Y)—with select shades featuring subtle silver (S) or gold (G) metallic highlights.”
