The hard work that goes into a well-planned skincare and makeup regimen requires a lot of time and effort. That's why it's no surprise that the products we put on our faces can sometimes be more of an extension of ourselves than we realize. And according to one former Sephora worker, your foundation of choice can actually say a lot about who you are as a person.

In a TikTok slideshow posted on Feb. 1, user @katiifirecat laid out some of the more popular products sold at the store. She commented on each with a quip about what the types of customers who use that specific foundation are typically like and how she thinks they came to choose the item over others.
The cheeky takes are well-spirited and include plenty of flattering compliments. For instance, the type of customer who buys one brand has "natural beauty" that makes her "honestly jealous," while another tends to get scooped up by shoppers who have "class."
The slideshow has since gone viral, garnering over 1.5 million views after less than a week. Fans have also jumped into the lively comment section to share their appreciation for her choices—or ask for recommendations for a new product.
Wondering if your go-to product is on the list? Read on to see what your foundation really says about you, according to a former Sephora employee.

2 | Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation

6 | Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation
