It’s been a while since I’ve discovered a new foundation that I truly love. I’ve become pickier about the finish of products, and also about not wasting money on something I don’t like.

Last year, Credo Beauty launched their new makeup line called Exa. The first product in their line is a foundation, and along with it, they launched a primer.

Now, let me a highlight a few key things before I dive into the actual performance of the product. For a clean foundation, coming from the green beauty industry, this foundation comes in 43 shades. This is unheard of in clean beauty till now. They also have a variety of different undertones available, which again, is pretty unheard of. The other plus point is the price. This retails for $38. Most foundations in the green beauty world are well above this, hovering at about $50 or more. So I’d say this is quite “affordable”.

The finish is exquisite. I’d say this feels like a tinted moisturizer to me. I picked up two shades from the line so I can use one in the summer and use a different shade in the fall. On my skin, the finish is radiant without being greasy. This all depends on how you prep your skin, etc.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the primer. In general, I don’t like the feeling of primers on my skin, and I prefer to prep my skin with an oil for foundation application. But if primer is your jam, then this will work well for you!

I wore this foundation for a good five months, and it truly has become on of my favorites! You cannot go wrong with this. The scent isn’t overpowering either, in fact I find it to be quite pleasant.

The best way to apply this foundation, is using a dense buffing brush, or a flat foundation brush.

Hope this review helps! You can find this foundation at http://www.credobeauty.com or http://www.ulta.com.

Enjoy,
