I really like this foundation because it's so light and gives an even finish. Doesn't look like you're wearing foundation. Doesn't hide ALL my red areas but its still worthwhile. Never use after...

I am very fair with pink undertones. My main coverage concern is splotchy redness in my cheeks. Photogenic covers nicely, and gives a nice dewy, candle-lit glow. Love it. However, the reason I had...
