I have bought this foundation due to all the positive reviews and this is such a hyped up product, I just had to have it. I was so sure it would be amazing, as I’ve bought Nars longwear radiant foundation a week before this and it amazed me. I only chose that one first as that one came with a pump as well. I still don’t have a pump for this foundation, I know it only costs $6 at mecca, but I think for the price it should be included. Plus other negative is that after you put the pump on, the lid (obviously) won’t fit, so it’s not travel friendly at all, unless you want to risk wasting expensive foundation. The formula is very nice and it provides a great finish, not too shiny, not too matte. However it doesn’t last the whole day, not even half a day for me, even though I set it with powder as well. I have skin that is on the drier end, only my t-zone plays up most of the time, so if you have a full on oily skin I wouldn’t recommend getting this one, but then again I’ve read lots of reviews from oily skin types that it was great for them, so maybe ask for a sample first.

Tips: Pump is $6 at mecca maxima. :)
This is such a great everyday foundation, light but buildable and gives a nice finish at the end. Sante Fe is one of the best colour matches I've ever had in a foundation
This is one of my favourite prouducts ! If in doubt I always go for Nars . I like this product as it’s nice and light but provides awesome coverage without a caked on look. It’s easy to remove and doesn’t clause to many issues with pimples .
I got a sample of this foundation from mecca and I absolutely love it. It blends so well into my skin, making it look flawless without being cakey and unnatural. True to its name it does have a slight glow, which I like. The glow makes the skin look natural and healthy and thankfully doesn't have and glitter in it as some other glow products I've used have (rimmell wake me up concealer). My only real issue with this foundation is that due to my oily t-zone, my forehead and nose get shiny after an hour or two, but this can be fixed by blotting and adding a wee bit more powder. I will definitely be saving up for the full size.
Tips: I usually use my fingers to work this into the skin, and then go over with a brush or sponge to make sure it's completely blended. I find going in with a brush straight away can sometimes make this foundation patchy.
I use this foundation during the summer months when I don’t like the feeling that your face is melting off. I have freckles it offers enough coverage to almost hide them. I like them coming through slightly in summer.
this product is light and easy to blend but I find it doesn’t last all day. I have quite red cheeks and the coverage isn’t as great as I’d want it to be. I use it on days where I can’t be bothered doing a full face
If you're a girl who doesn't like the idea of wearing heavy makeup -- this one's for you! Blendable, light and airy, this one is good for those who enjoy a dewy complexion and don't have much to hide. It also blends beautifully with concealer.
However, I enjoy heavier coverage and found that this tends to come out throughout the day and certainly cannot stay put when you're going out.
Tips: Definitely use a long-lasting primer and set with some foundation.
Massive fan of this foundation - it's the perfect shade for my super-fair skin, goes on feeling really light and gives great coverage.
The light texture did make me think it would have a much lighter coverage - but in my opinion it's a full coverage foundation without that 'cake' feeling I've gotten from other full coverage products.
My one complaint is the lack of a pump - it seems like a bit of a scam that you have to buy a pump for the bottle (but I suppose it's a good way to cut down on plastic waste? Maybe?)
Absolutely beautiful colour and does not oxidise terribly on the skin. So lightweight, really buildable and doesn't clog pores.
Tips: Apply a thin layer first - I find it goes matte to an extent so less can be more. + it's buildable! I prefer to pop it on with a flat brush personally, but find it looks great after being applied with anything.
This foundation is one of my absolute favourites both in terms of coverage and colour. For me, it builds beautifully to a medium coverage which can hide most of my redness and acne scars. The foundation does, however, allow for my natural skin texture to peak through, which I actually like.
Personally, I feel that this foundation is best applied with either fingers or a damp sponge. When blended with fingers it leaves a soft satin finish. However, when used with a damp sponge it truly lives up to its name ‘sheer glow’.
Shade wise I think Nars has a fairly good selection. Generally, I struggle to find foundations that cater to my ultra fair skin tone. However, the shade Siberia is a perfect match as it is very fair with warm/yellow undertones.
Tips: I leave the foundation for a few minutes before applying pressed powder so that it doesn't look cakey.
