Did you think KVD was done for good? Think again! KVD Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Hydrating Foundation Balm is one of the brand’s newest foundations. This creamy, hydrating, lightweight balm has a matte finish and contains apple extract that helps to moisturize skin. It launched a very short time ago and ended up going viral on Tiktok soon after and it’s been sold out ever since. I honestly though that KVD would have a hard time making a come back but the fact this out as quickly as it did proves they might just have a trick or two still up there sleeve.
This foundation has been hyped up and so well reviewed and raved. I had some suspicions to be honest as the constant raving about the amazing coverage and the lightweight feel had me raising a brow. Here’s the thing…
Cream foundations like this can be a make or break situation as for me I’d say mostly break. I always, always want to love these. They are created with drier skin folks in mind! This particularly has a “fresh matte” formula and keep in mind these aren’t the mattes our mama and grandma more. The matte finished has evolved! It’s cleaner, it’s fresher, it’s smoother, and it isn’t as drying as it once was. It’s also typically easy to apply and doesn’t adhere to drier areas. I’m not nearly as scared of mattes as I was several years ago. The finish has greatly improved over the years. When it said “fresh matte” finish I wasn’t turned off in the least by that!
Now, keep in mind, I haven’t tried KVD Good Apple Skin-Perfecting Hydrating Foundation Balm and I probably won’t for a few different reasons. First off, cream foundations in a pan never work for me. They always look really bad! Typically they are heavy and they look like a mask on me. They also give me a very made up look and I dislike that. I like a more natural finish in my makeup. Secondly, they tend to feel very greasy almost like Halloween makeup. Ironically that greasiness does not translate to hydrate as I always feel they adhere to every single dry patch on my face. It’s just a really bad, bad formula for me that doesn’t work.
When I started hearing how impressed everyone was with this formula I instantly new a lot of it was hype. I think many people are raving this to death because they are so impressed with the pigment.
