At first I didn't like this foundation. But I found that it was in my application. Once I blended it correctly (I began to use it with my beauty blender), it really is high-definition. It's a...

No no no no no! Even when you shake it, it comes out as watery junk. Come on, you're charging a lot of money for this stuff--I expect better quality for that price. Ladies, do not bother. Can't...

I hate this. The only reason I'm giving this two stars is because of it's packaging. I absolutely adore the pump. I just hate the product inside of it! This oxidized so hard on my skin that it...

Let me tell you what skin type this foundation is perfect for: drier skin types who need light to medium coverage. If you fall outside those guidelines, get a sample first before shelling out $40...

It blends perfectly into your skin and looks natural. Its not as dry as the other foundations I've tried and it doesn't exaggerate any dry patches of skin. The color is also very good (at least for...

I really wanted to love this one. When I apply it, it looks amazing for about 2 hours, then it starts to oxidize horribly and makes my face very oily. On the bright side, it didn't make me break out.
