I was so disappointed with this foundation. I couldn't get it to work for me. When I put it on it just looked like a mask and clinged to any dry patches. I'll admit this may be my fault as I may...

This is a very thick foundation - they say to only use it when you're going out to a party or on a special occasion. I gives a very good coverage, you definitely don't need to put concealer on as...

The product is too thick and clogs the needlenose opening. It won't spread or blend at all, and dries down way too fast. It makes my dryness look even more exaggerated than it does naturally,...
