    I will Never buy this product again. It was able to cover up my redness and pores but I would breakout the next day.

    Got given this from a mate who bought a shade too dark for her skintone. To it's credit, this is one of the few foundations I've tried that matches my skintone PERFECTLY. However it is very greasy...

    This product is not ideal for mature skin. It seemed to settle into every line and wrinkle. In fact, it settled into nooks and crannies that I didn't even know I had! It was heavy and slightly...
