    I bought this because of the raves here and it was on sale. The coverage is ok. I guess I just didn't pick the right color. 50 Natural Beige is a bit pinkish on me. The package looks cheap...

    Little too cakey . . . maybe it will work better if you only use this product alone, without the liquid foundation underneath like how I used. It's not a bad product, though. It did smooth out...
