    I enjoyed this foundation a lot. It gives amazing coverage, is super light weight and a matte finish if you're looking to get away from that shiney/shimmer some foundations have. That being said, make sure your skin is well moisturised or use a good primer under this foundation because if you don't it will settle into lines and give an undesirable finish. If used correctly it is a great product

    This is an okay foundation but not worth the money IMHO.
    I found the formula too sheer, and believe it or not, had a weird powdery finish on me. It felt drying and the formula simply didn't last thru the entire day as I needed it to. Quite a disappointment, considering the price. It was difficult to work with, it streaked during application and although the formula is indeed sheer, I had no glow.
    Overall a mediocre product; I could have made it work for me but not at that price.

    This foundation is the only one that doesn't make my dry skin look flakey. The coverage is excellent as well considering it's sheer. I feel it covers up under-eye darkness and any redness I have without suffocating my skin or completely blotting out my freckles so I look like I am wearing a mask.

    My skin is: oily/combination, sensitive/ reactive, acne-prone

    This is the ONLY foundation that I have found to NOT induce an acne breakout or cause cysts/hard red bumps, for me (and I really have tried and returned every high-end foundation at sephora and the bay due to my skin reacting).
    Coverage: this foundation manages to look 'sheer' while covering imperfections and evens out skin tone. The only con in coverage, is that it does not completely cover acne scars (like the recent red ones that currently taunt me). It does not look good on dry areas--it settles into those areas and looks patchey. When I moisturize those dry areas prior to application, this is not a problem. The thing I love about this foundation is that, it makes my skin appear much more radiant and healthy when I wear it (in fact, I have started to receive compliments on my skin since I starting using it).
    And I use my (clean) hands as opposed to a foundation brush to apply this because it just applies better that way.
    Wear: usually, this lasts me all day without touchup (I personally despise powder and an overly matte look). IF I am having a day where my oil glands are acting up, I would need to be blot (in the middle of the day).
    Price: it is pricey-it runs for $55 plus taxes (I believe).
