After hearing so many great things about this foundation I decided to give it a go. $13 for a foundation is so awesome, but to be honest I didn't have high hopes at first. I don't really love the little applicator wand, I don't use it at all.
It comes in a sturdy glass bottle, I got the lightest shade and find it is not a bad match for my fair skin. I have dry skin and if I don't exfoliate first and prep my skin well it definitely clings to my dry patches.
It is nice and lightweight and does not cake on me, it lasts all day on me and doesn't oxidize at all. It looks pretty good at the end of the day, I really hate having to touch up my foundation during the day so I generally never do this. It does however have an odd paint smell, it doesn't hang around long but I find it unpleasant.
Photo wise it is pretty great, I don't take a lot of pics but on a girls night out I wore this and the pics looked really great! So a definite thumbs up for that. I do really like this foundation but think my skin may be too dry so really need a hydrating foundation. Definitely give it a go and see if it suits your skin.
Wow, when I saw the price of this, I'll be honest my expectations weren't that highest. But after just 1 use of this foundation I am HOOKED. Not only is my wallet happy, but my face is too! Such a flawless finish, light weight coverage but is build able for sure. I can easily get a full coverage look without looking cakey/ thick. This is now my go to foundation out of everything :)
Tips: Personally I think it applies better with a sponge than a brush.
