I'm currently using Kat Von D's lock it tattoo foundation but I find that it's actually not full coverage (I have so much redness and scarring) and its too dark (I'm using light 42). So I wanted to get something lighter and with complete full coverage because I hate concealer. Has anyone used this? Is the lightest shade really fair? Can I use my beauty blender to apply it? And is it something I could wear everyday? Thank you.

Oh and I have sensitive, acne prone skin. And I tend to be more oily.

I am using the RCMA 5 favorites sampler in neutral/fair (KA). The lightest shade is super, duper light. I was messing around with makeup on my son last night (he always wants mustaches and beards) and I used the lightest shade to cover his dark circles, because the lightest color is actually lighter than his skin. (All my concealer/correctors are too dark for him) The boy is like ghostly white, so I think it would suit anyone. I love the sampler because there are five shades, the last one is the darkest and has a bit of yellow in it which is really helpful, if like me you get a bit of color in the summer. I have fair to medium skin and the closest match for me is the fourth darkest one. There are three whole shades lighter.
I love the foundation because it covers everything. I've had it since October and I've barely made a dent in it. (I don't use it every day, but maybe once or twice a week). A little goes a long way. I anticipate that when I run out of the sample, I will be buying the shade that matches me best in a larger version.

Just as an example of how versatile it is, I had a weird problem with my primer this morning balling up (too many moisturizers layered over each other) and I ended up putting the RCMA over the top and it was fine. All the places where my primer had lifted and gone away were patched over and looked smooth.

I have sensitive combination skin and the foundation has never made me break out. I always use toner and moisturizer before to keep my skins own oil production at bay. I've used it with and without primer and works great and lasts a long time either way. I've only had the product since fall and it's very cold and dry so I haven't tested the product on a steamy summer day when I'm oily as can be...

Ashley, also, if you still have a lot of the Kat Von D left, you might make it work better for you with a primer, if you haven't already tried it. I have rosacea and acne scarring and NYX angel veil has been letting me wear a tinted moisturizer most days...
