description

A breakthrough liquid-to-powder foundation formula that absorbs oil, camouflages imperfections, and delivers a long-lasting velvet matte finish. This innovative foundation helps reduce the appearance of oil, acne scars, and severe breakouts. It's formulated with Cashmere Kaolinite Clay, which absorbs 75 percent of its weight in oil without over-drying the skin. The oil-free formula transforms instantly from liquid to powder, creating an all-day finish that camouflages imperfections and never appears dull, flat, or cakey. Ultra-fine pigments provide unsurpassed coverage and effectively eliminate the need for powder, blotting, or constant touch-ups throughout the day.

this product makes me look off color in pictures but looks fine in person. I have very acne-prone skin and this does not irritate my skin. It does a great job of absorbing oil too.

I didn't want to love this foundation. It's exorbitantly expensive. I received a sample in a Sephora order and gave it a try. It worked out pretty well, more so than any other foundation I've tried...

****EDIT 9/7/14**** This foundation is great for oil control, and the color match is perfect for my skin (shell). However, that's where the positives end for me. It has very little coverage---light...
