Real shoppers say

“I'm loving The Uniform! Easy addition to my Merit makeup routine! The formula goes on easily with my hands and adds just a touch of evenness to my complexión without feeling heavy. The color match was near perfect too.”

“Leaves skin looking chalky and dry. I have tried to persist with it to give it a good go but I had to stop using and go back to another brand. Waste of money unfortunately, I had big hopes for it but it hasn't lived up to the hype.”
