LORAC – Breakthrough Performance Foundation SPF 14
LORAC Breakthrough Performance Foundation
I was a HUGE fan of LORAC’s oil free foundation – until I realized it didn’t really cover all that well and it may have broken me out – hence the need for coverage. Whatever, the shade match was perfect! Because of my semi-positive experience with the line, I always check out the new products that LORAC introduces. The latest LORAC entry is the Breakthrough Performance Foundation. Like most foundations these days, it’s promising to do some of the anti-aging work that used to be expect only of creams and lotions. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with pampering your skin with anti-aging products. But be aware that you’re probably not going to apply as much foundation to your skin as you would a moisturizer. So the benefits are limited.
I was really disappointed when I checked out this foundation at Sephora. Usually LORAC is very conscious of providing a range of product for a wide range of skin shades. I was surprised to see that the darkest shade in this foundation was #7. It basically looks like it will work on women with parchment colored skin with a yellow undertone. I wouldn’t be able to use this foundation anyway because it contains titanium dioxide, but it’s sad to see that the option wasn’t available to me from the get-go.
