Everything about [the Alina] skin is wonderfully detailed. There’s not a spot that I feel I need to hide. The face fits perfectly on my shape, which is a rarity. The lips are smooth and not stretched all over the place.
On top of this, the skins were semi-transparent, which lets me darken it to the perfect shade.
