This is a nice foundation, but not amazing. After a few hours (3-4), it makes my face an oil slick. I usually do not have to use any setting or blotting powders throughout the day, however, with...

Let me start with saying that this is a great foundation. It is light, fresh and provides reasonable (on the sheer side) coverage. It holds up well (only tried it in winter) and does not oxidise....

I used the older version in the glass bottle. It covered while looking natural and looked like my skin. Really it did! By the end of day it held nicely. The new version is a bit different. I wish...

This is a great foundation, very natural, for oily skin like me, you definitely need to put a mattifying primer underneath. The staying power is alright, I can usually go for about 3-4 hours...

This is a beautiful foundation if you don't need medium to full coverage and aren't super pale. I am NC15 and the lightest shade was too dark and it wasn't enough coverage for my acne scar ridden...
