Great packaging, great full coverage, nice scent. only problem is it's extremely drying so every single dry spot is highlighted and it ends up looking like a mask.

This is a good foundation, but it needs a lot of work and definitely is not for everyone. It goes on very dry, almost like clay, and is difficult to spread and blend, so you need to moisturise...

Got this in 105 to mix into my reg liquid. I am obsessed with pale skin. I mix this with 4-5 pumps of moisturizer + my reg liquid and it makes my already pale face, amazingly pale.

UPDATE: I took off a star because although this foundation covers well it's finish is way too chalky and it really accentuates lines and pores. Make sure you experiment with this near the window...

The foundation is pretty good and really blendable, but the shades are RIDICULOUS. The jump from RF 215 (too light for me - like a tanned caucasian tone) to RF 240 (more of a dark mixed race skin...

On the positive side, the shade 140 was quite a good match for my NC 20 skin and the coverage is really complete. But I would not buy it again, and in fact threw it out, because it's too much...
