KADS SCORE
Quick Take
Rihanna’s foundation changed the industry with 50 inclusive shades, and the formula holds up: buildable medium to full coverage with a soft matte finish that fights shine all day. At $40 it sits below most prestige foundations while outperforming many of them on wear time.
What We Like
- 50 shades with genuinely inclusive undertones for deep skin tones
- Soft matte finish that controls shine without looking flat
- Buildable coverage from medium to full
- Climate adaptive formula holds up in heat and humidity
- Oil free and long wearing through 8 plus hour days
What We Don’t Like
- Can cling to dry patches, so dry skin types need serious prep
- Matte finish is not for fans of a dewy look
- Finding your shade online across 50 options takes trial and error

Full Review
Quality
The liquid formula blends smoothly and sets to a pore diffusing finish that photographs beautifully. The refreshed shade range shows real research into undertones, not just depth. The bottle’s pump dispenses cleanly, and the 1.08 ounce size is standard for the category. It is a well engineered product, not just a celebrity label.
Value
At $40 this undercuts most prestige foundations by $5 to $25 while matching their performance. Drugstore options are cheaper but rarely offer this shade range or wear time. For the combination of inclusivity, coverage, and longevity, it is one of the best values in makeup.
Who Should Buy It
Buy it if you want reliable full coverage with a matte finish and a shade that actually matches.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if your skin is very dry or you prefer a sheer, dewy finish, where it will fight you all day.
FINAL VERDICT
Years after launch, Pro Filt’r remains the reference point for inclusive, long wearing foundation. The formula earns its reputation independent of the famous name on the bottle.
