    I love this foundation. It is the only one that does not clog me and i'm Very clog/acne prone. It does not feel heavy at all on my face and washes off easily. Love it!

    After a single use I can honestly say that I am not that impressed. It is a nice texture, I think I got the wrong shade. The coverage is buildable, it did rub off on my clothing a bit. I am not...

    This is at best an average foundation and I find it to be grossly overpriced for the performance. I don’t understand why its called Matte since the finish is not matte at all, its more satin and...
