This is my new favorite every day foundation! I love this stuff! I'm disappointed in the shade range (Benefit's color ranges are always horrible though, so no surprise here), but this stuff is great! I got a sample of this stuff last summer and couldn't wait to buy a full sized bottle. I bought it in the lightest shade, but at the time was too light to wear it -- the colors run dark and are very yellow-toned. Well, summer is here again and now that I'm a little darker, I've been wearing this every day. The coverage isn't phenomenal, but it does a great job at evening out my skin and the finish is very skin-like and realistic. It looks very natural and not at all cakey, and the staying power is pretty great. It's my new go-to foundation for every day wear and I LOVE IT! I'm not sure if I'd repurchase it at $36 a bottle, but it's very likely. Totally worth a try.

I'm torn because I really like this foundation, the consistency, the results and effects it delivers and it does what it promises to do but it's a very sheer coverage foundation and unless my skin is looking reaaalllyy excellent, it isn't enough for me.

It's pricey, less so than a NARS or Make Up For Ever foundation, but at the same time, it isn't a heavy foundation like they are. It says 'brightening' on the bottle and that's definitely what I noticed when I first used it. It gave my skin more colour, even skin tone and I looked more alert and awake. I like that the foundation really blends and sits well (naturally) on the skin. It only comes in a few shades, but the shades do well on a variety of skin tones because it blends so nicely.

I would almost equate this to a better quality BB cream, but you will definitely need to use concealer with it if you blemishes or problem areas. I would recommend this one but I would also suggest you try out a sample first to see if works for you.
