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.

If you are extremely oily, get this foundation! Although it is VERY expensive, you do not need to set it with a powder. It dries very fast so only do one side of your face at a time. I wear this...

I have very oily skin, and this foundation wears like no other I've tried. It turns into a silky powder when applied - so blend quickly! If you have any flakes, this will make them more obvious,...
