I find this foundation to be just what it says although I haven't tested the 16 hours of wear (I don't need to wear makeup for that much time). It goes on so well and blends super easily and it looks great on my skin. I have combination oily skin and I also find that it does not break me out or go patchy in my oily areas or look dry in my drier patches. I apply this with the sigma F80 flat top Kabuki brush and I have found that this gives the very best application.

I have oily skin so I don't know why I bothered to buy this foundation, it literally lasts maybe an hour before I become an oil-slick, but it does definitely have a very lightweight feel, almost non-existent :-) I am the shade Siberia and it is super hard finding foundations that match my skin colour, but this is great! Since it is not good for my skin type I mix it with other darker foundations I have (don't want to waste $80). I found this foundation caused a few small breakouts on me too. Also it doesn't cover acne scars very well, It does however cover redness/discolouration, so that's a plus. It is buildable coverage too.
Tips: Only use 1-2 pumps, and rub between fingers then spread over your skin. Then use a brush or sponge to blend. You really don't need a lot to get coverage. For full-coverage I would say 3 pumps max.
Bought this foundation in hopes it would replace my favourite Nars Sheer Matte as it has been discontinued but have been quite disappointed. I usually buy the shade Siberia in Sheer Matte and it matches me perfectly, however in All Day Luminous Siberia is no longer my perfect shade. The foundation does apply nicely, easy to blend and looks good in the beginning but quickly melts on my face as I do have oily skin. This foundation does not work well on the skin in high temperatures so bear that in mind. May work better if you do not have oily skin.
Tips: A stippling brush works well with this foundation.
I recently got 3 samples of this foundation to try from my lovely mecca assistant and so far im so impressed! I'm just about to purchase this in full size as my go to summer foundation! The shade range is amazing too! This foundation definitely will not last 16 hours though. I get 8-10 hours before i need to powder my t-zone (Oily/combo skin) but what i love is how lightweight yet high coverage this foundation is! And it blends like a dream!
Tips: Buff into your skin with a brush and then finish off by dabbing overtop with your beauty sponge
