Nice product, but not for me

My skin is on the dry side and this foundation tends to emphasize that upon close inspection. I could get this foundation to work for me on a freshly exfoliated and moisturized face and only with applying with a damp makeup sponge. However, even with my dryness, it has a beautiful finish and luminescence to it from farther away. The coverage is quite nice, and I think this foundation would be stunning on someone who didn’t have dry skin. It can appear too heavy if you use excess product, but the coverage was such that it shouldn’t be necessary to do so. It also has SPF which is nice, but you would still need to use some other sort of SPF with it. If you were to use enough of this foundation to get the actual SPF 50 coverage, it would look extremely cakey and emphasize texture (which is true of all foundations). It does have a strong sunscreen scent, but definitely don’t rely just on foundation for your UV protection.

Fabulous Foundation Found!

This foundation provides a flawless canvas. Easy to apply with both a brush and Beaty blender, does not even need to be set with powder and does not settle into fine lines or pores. Makes my over 40 skin look amazing and the finish is perfection. I didn’t notice any oxidation even after hours of wear and barely any touch up was needed!
