My Thoughts
I have been using this foundation for about a year and I can safely say that this is a keeper! This product makes my skin look so smooth and pore-less, it unbelievable. It completely looks like my own skin. I think this is due to the fact that the texture of this foundation is relatively thin, making it easier to blend and buff into the skin (no thick cake face!)
The coverage of this foundation is perfect for me. I'm not too fond of heavy foundation formulations as they tend to look (and feel) thick and muddy as the hours go on. For sheer to medium coverage, you only need 1-2 pumps of this and you are set. But I will say, those who may have blemishes or other trouble spots might need to use a extra pump to get the coverage that they need.
If you have dry skin, this product is right up your alley. The claim of this being moisturizing is true! In fact, this can sometimes work against me as I have oily skin. Towards the end of the day, my skin can sometimes look a bit shiny but that issue is easily fixed with some blotting paper and translucent powder.
Overall, this foundation has a permanent spot in my makeup routine (until I find something better to replace it...)
