Cle de Peau The Foundation Review
The World's Most Expensive Foundation is $250 — Here's What Happened When I Tried It
3
Some days, I return home from work to find that the majority of my face makeup has all but completely melted off. My blemishes lose their concealer shield and my once-matte T-zone reflects more light than I'd care to admit. Today was not one of those days. Though I certainly acquired a slightly brighter shine than I had left home with that morning, the majority of my makeup stayed put — and my face felt more hydrated and glowy (but not oily!) than ever all day.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Clé de Peau's $250 foundation totally — yet almost regretfully — passed the test. It was criminally easy to apply, more lightweight than any formula I've ever tried, and didn't require hourly touch-ups. Whether you decide to splurge or not is all you, but I will leave you with some food for thought: no, this isn't going to give you a brand new face (though, at that price, maybe it should). No, it's not worth maxing out a credit card for. And, if you have a formula you already swear by, you honestly don't need it. But if it's something you can justify splurging on, I can assure you it won't be for nothing. Sometimes you just gotta exercise your right to be fancy — and if that's with a $250 jar of makeup, then more power to you.
