I agree all that JolieBelle said about this! Seriously amazing. The coverage is almost too much for me; f.e. GA Luminous is enough to even out skintone, some redness, few broken caps. SO much better than Revlon CS Softlex (normal-dry). Better in coverage, looks fresh not flat matte, blends like a dream, buildable, what I do not need to do, stays better.
Max time I have had this on was 10h and it did not move! I quess key word was Moist since my skin is comb./ dehydrated. Great for not-so-good-skin-days and nights out but bit too much for me to use daily and to get more natural look on my mature (40) old skin.

I agree with the previous reviewer, makeupbyjuliaC. The color gets darker after sitting on your face for awhile and it's hard to get it even so the blotchiness becomes very apparent after few hours. Also it doesn't stay put very well so it gets even more blotchy and in the end of the day the foundation is a mess.


I bought this as it had these magical words on it: "Active Moist Make-up" as my skin is dry on the surface. I really should've been wary when it said that it was for all skin types. That rarely is the case and usually they're not suitable for my skin.

Good things about this foundation were that it had a pump and that after careful application it looked good for few hours.

Cons outweight the pros big time.

Pros:
- Really good coverage without the need of tons of makeup!
- SPf 30
- Good Ingredients
- Amazing natural matte finish but with a nice glow
- Natural looking result

Cons:
- It doesnt stay on very long.
- DEFENTLY not water resistant at all! Most foundations can handle a little bit of moisture but this one cant.
- Uneven application if you are not carefully. It does not work with a duo fibre stippling brush!
- When you first apply it it looks super light. but when it sets it turnes about 3 shades darker and a ´lot more orange for me.
- Doesnt stay put.
- Very blotchy

Overall I think this foundation is OK. The pros almost makes up for the cons. but there is a lot that could be improved. Consider the cons carefully before you buy this one.

Edit:
After using this for a week I suffered from tons of breakouts! Be careful if you have sensitive skin. I will probably never use this again.

A very good foundation, but I feel that it dries out my skin rather than to add moisture. But if you apply it with a light hand it provides a beautiful and natural results that hold for long.

It is not so great color selection. I will not buy it again, because a bottle lasts quite a long time.

EXCUSE ME, WHY AM I THE FIRST TO WRITE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT?
I love this brand, and now i love it even more with this foundation.

Ok. It's VERY late but i have to review this because it is as close as possible to my Estee Lauder foundation, at a fraction of the price, with an SPF of 30!!!


Pros:

- glides like butter on the skin, minus the grease. it is not oily at all

-i can FEEL the hydration, i can feel the moist sinking into my skin and making it feel plump

-a great color selection, i can't believe i found mine immediately. very nice beige tones, a few on the warmer side so if you're an NC you're gonna be luckier than a NW. however, i am NW30-35 and i got my match the first time i tried it.

-the pump is super cute, doesn't make a mess (very small nozzle) and dispenses the exact quantity needed

-SPF 30! need i say more.

-good coverage, buildable (i'd say...hm...89-90%
coverage? which is great for a drugstore makeup product)

-dewy finish. i always hate when foundations advertise a 'dewy' finish when it's actually a huge grease film they're talking about. the pest is gone with this relatively cheap foundation. my skin just glides, looks very moisturized and fresh, and i mean FRESH.

-doesn't clog pores, at least it didn't clog mine

-doesn't give the mask effect, no way, medium-high coverage through layering, easily buildable (i think i already mentioned this), covers all sorts of tones of discoloration and hyperpigmentation, i mean it covered my pink spots and my circles as well. (Bye bye Lancome Cernes!....at least for a while. THAT's how much i love this foundation)

-the most important of all- though having a dewy finish, it it's sticky, i never got anything sticking to my face (stray hairs, a bronzer blot, or too much blusher, etc) and it doesn't run off the skin. it stays on intact for about 5 hours, with powder on top, which is a miracle for me because nothing adheres to my face (except for Estee Lauder's Double Wear) in a proper manner.

-relatively cheap compared to other foundations; though some Swedish beauty bloggers see it as a dupe for one of Dior's foundations (don't remember which one but i think it's a long stay one anyway), i personally can't find any similarities between this one and anything else due to that exact unmatched freshness and impeccable finish. i'm seriously not exaggerating.


Cons:
- i haven't found one yet, seriously.

I like Isadora a lot and will keep purchasing and purchasing as long as they exist on the market. this foundation i think it's by far their bestest.
