I read some great reviews of this product and just got my order in the mail, yesterday. I don't think I've quite perfected how to apply it to my skin - I used a sponge to apply it and I don't normally apply foundation that way...think I'll try my "normal" application process tomorrow. Has anyone else tried this stuff? It does offer some great coverage - I'm pairing it with Ben Nye banana powder, as well. Opinions/reviews/questions welcome!

If you have pores/pimples then it has pretty good coverage cause I can't see any. So yeah I would say that its good.

Thanks - I watched a tutorial that said the best way to hide enlarged pores is to use a circular motion with a brush when applying your foundation. Typically, that's what I do, but I didn't do that today - I just applied it with a very slightly damp sponge. It definitely feels a bit lighter than the Kat Von D LockIt foundation I usually use; I'll test it out this week and see how I like it! What do you use??

Ban H. - I ordered it from Camera Ready Cosmetics. It's $16 for one tin, and a little goes a very long way! Great reviews, too! Next I think I'll purchase their corrector - I've heard wonderful things about that as well!!

Your skin looks flawless! I might just have to make that my next foundation purchase, and even better to hear it's only $16. Also just wondering what skin type you have and is it a liquid or a powder foundation?

I have combo skin - oily t-zone and some dry patches. Today's only my second day using it, but I changed my application.

I used an ever-so-slightly damp sponge to apply it (it's a cream, BTW). Just a thin coat at first - it has wonderful coverage and a little goes a very long way! Then I took my big kabuki brush and worked it in using circular motions (I watched a makeup artist video that stated this application minimizes the look of large pores).

Then I use Ben Nye Banana Powder as a light dusting all over and apply all the other war point, LOL! I've heard that their concealer is one of the best products out there, so that's going to be my next purchase!

The wear time is all day/night because it's not water-based, but silicone based, so basically water-proof, even through sweat (or so one YouTube reviewer noted). I also use a setting spray when I'm done applying everything. My makeup stays on until I wash it off just before bedtime!
