8/22/2020 0 Comments range beauty true intentions hydrating foundation swatches & Review (villa, liquid sun, baked) + thoughts on "clean beauty"11/06/2020 update: today, I decided to use one of these for the first time in a while, and one of the shades had mold growth. This is the first time I have ever had a makeup product go bad, and I've had products for years and years: much longer than the couple of months that I've had these foundation samples. Range touts themselves as being paraben-free. As I explain in this post, the "clean beauty" movement has demonized parabens, an ingredient that has been proven to be safe and an effective preservative, but this is why scientific evidence-based -- and not pseudoscience trend-based -- cosmetic chemistry is so important.
Hi, everyone! I first heard about Range Beauty -- a relatively new indie makeup brand founded by Alicia Scott, a Black woman -- back in April when I got an ad for them on Instagram. Their tagline is "clean beauty for the forgotten shades" -- with their niche being catering to darker skin tones that are often overlooked by the beauty industry, particularly by "clean beauty" brands (more on my issues with "clean beauty" later in this review). The brand also describes itself as "100% cruelty-free, vegan, and never contains paraben, talc, sulfate, phthalates, or synthetic dyes and fragrances" in their product descriptions. Range's hero product is what I'll be focusing on today: the True Intentions Hydrating Foundation. I purchased samples of the foundation in the shades Villa, Liquid Sun, and Baked.
For reference: I have dry skin, and I would describe myself as somewhere around NC25-30 with strong warm, golden olive undertones. Historically, my favorite foundation is the Physician's Formula The Healthy Foundation in MW2.

about @glowyminoI have dry skin and very dry and textured lips. I also have a medium-light skintone (somewhere in the realm of NC25-30) with strong warm yellow/olive undertones. I have a tendency to prefer a glowy, lightweight base and color cosmetics in shades of a warm undertone. Read more about me in the about page! Archives
