This is my favourite foundation by far. I love the pump bottle, just the pine nut amount is perfect. I use a primer and I love the way this just smoothes on so perfectly - and lasts all day. So many foundations don't cover well and slide off during the day, this beats them all for me. I always use a foundation brush, concealer brush first for eye areas and try not to over-blend. This is my go to makeup, great price, a good co,our and cover for me and I can't fault it.

I liked this foundation from the very start when I went in colour match it to my skin. I could instantly feel that it was light and dried well and so I couldn't wait for it to arrive.
This foundation is very easy to apply - with fingers which I know is bad but it's just so quick and easy. It glides on easily with or without the max factor primer. The colour I chose - natural- was a great match for my fair, red, blotchy and pigmented skin.
The coverage was light/medium. I don't like to build up coverage as it feels too caked on and thick but this product seemed to dry really well, I think I'll keep mentioning that a few times, sorry, but it impressed me as you can build it up a bit and it doesn't feel thick like it's going to rub off on to everything during the day.
Provides skin glow without an over the top finish? yes yes yes! I'm not young so highlight doesn't always work for me, too sparkly and just makes me look even older sometimes. This foundation gives you glow without the sparkle.
The finish feels dry like a matte foundation on your skin but doesn't look dry like a matte finish. It's not oily either (I don't think there is any moisturising benefits hidden in there) and it worked fine on my normal/dehydrated/dry skin. It was easy to remove with a gentle cleanser and didn't cause any breakouts or dryness.
All day wear - maybe - it seemed to do well on a short day, like school hours - but I don't know how good it would last if that day went on into the evening and beyond - touch ups might be needed.
I like that it is a plastic bottle and not glass as I've had a couple of glass foundation bottles get knocked off counters into tiles and they don't fare well.
Tips: Doesn't say if it has spf in it so I assume not - so make sure your moisturiser has some sun protection in it.
I'm in Auckland on holiday at the moment and have noticed it in some of those make up shops that are around and it's less than $20 in there.
