Medium to high coverage. Blemishes here and there will show, as with most foundations. I don't know why but it bunches up and gets cakey between my eyebrows. It's the craziest and most annoying...

Edit: I've bumped up my rating for 3 stars to 4. I played around with this foundation and it's very build able. 3-4 pumps gave me a medium coverage that was enough for me while not looking cakey....
