Not my favourite, but it does what it is supposed to do. I always find that when I apply a bit on it makes my face look cakey. The sponge it comes with is... kinda useless in my opinion. CHEAP...

This is really good for coverage and setting when you don't have a lot of time. I have dry skin and it doesn't cake up or settle into lines. A good cheap staple.
