I hate that I am going to leave this a negative review. This foundation SHOULD get 5 stars—the finish is beautiful and softly matte. The color was a spot-on match. The foundation wore all damn day....

Shade range has broad options. Full coverage. The pump sometimes sucks. Matte dewy finish for oily skin. Really cheap so it's not a big money loss if you don't like it. Lasts all day. The reason I...
