I have brown skin, and like many women of colour, the hyperpigmentation is real! Plus, sheer foundations for dark skin are hard to get, as many brands don’t quite understand undertones. Often I find that sheer foundations in the darker shades end up with an ashy/chalky finish. So usually, if I’m looking for sheer coverage, I will go by with using none at all, with a splash of concealer.
