I'm so glad my Mother is addicted to HSN and gave me her samples of this. I bought some within the week! This is one of the best foundations I have ever used! There are no color options when you buy it, it just "magically" matches. You can vary the amount of coverage from light to medium, but I wouldn't recommend using too much of it and trying to get a heavy coverage. It diminishes fine lines just like advertised and I never had to use powder afterwards as it leaves a matte finish. It also may have brightened my complexion, but can't really vouch for that since I started using a new face cream at the same time. It is intended for use on "mature" skin, but I love it. It goes on SO smooth & silky, your face feels so soft to the touch. Feels almost like you used a primer, and could possibly be used as a primer if you want more coverage, but I never tried that. Definately worth the investment, since it will last quite a while. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a new foundation!!
