Best foundation match I've found so far for my skintone. I think this ia a fantastic brand formulated for and marketed towards 'women of color'. I know I have trouble matching foundations, but not anymore. If ever I need a perfect match- I know to go to Real Cosmetics! This is so sheer and smooth so you have to make sure your skin is in good condition before wearing it, so start cleansing, toning and moisturizing... (UPDATE: Indeed, great color match, but a trade off, since the foundation began separating on my skin and then inside the bottle. I had to throw it away because it looked gross. Needless to say, I was disappointed.)

I am Asian and this foundation is the only one that matches my skin perfectly. It evens out my face without me worrying about a "line of demarkation," which I absolutely hate about other foundations. It doesn't cover acne very well but that's why I have concealer. Best of all it doesn't irritate my face at all. In fact it soothes my skin after I irritated it with too strong acne products. Highly recommended for women of color. UPDATE: Switched to MAC Studiostick because my large pores work better with a stick formula. MAC matches my skin tone just as well as Cairo. If they had developed more than just a liquid formula I'd had stayed with Real Cosmetics.

I tried this product after reading about it in Lucky Magazine and fell in love with it! The color is the first to match my skintone perfectly. It is very sheer and natural, you don't get that "caked on" feel. Those who need a ton of coverage (and who really does?) may not take to this well. Highly recommended for women of color or those who have a hard time finding that "perfect match". Enjoy!
