Love the product BUT i made the mistake of using a different primer. You NEED to use the auto pilot primer. I tried the Napoleon Set brand and it did nothing. So, if youre struggling with the...

Did not like this foundation at all! Gave nice coverage, and smooth look when originally applied, but fades quickly and gets splotchy within a few hours. For the price this is, it is not worth it...

I got this in the sample size in a free gift and it seems quite nice. Because its a bit light for me I use it as a highlight and it blends nicely and looks natural. It also didn't break me out and...

When purchasing this product you have to weigh up a few things. Is the price of $72 AUS worth the small 30mls it has? Personally I love this product; but due to the price it is saved for special...

At first, I thought the color was a little bit orange but, when I applied it on my face, it blend nicely, very match with my skin tone. It also light and having a full coverage (my acne prone was...

Not sure as to what to think about this foundation. After fairly good reviews on here about it gliding on easy etc. I bought it (Luckily for me at 40% off). I am unsure, I stippled it on and it...

UPDATE: I still like this fdt. It gives enough coverage for everyday wear and does not look masky, even with powder on. Unfortunately, it's still too pricy for me. I've been curious about NP...

This product truly is like a second skin. For those who say they break out just wondering if you are using the Auto Pilot Primer (this acts like a barrier on the skin) I have sensitive skin and I...

I quite like this foundation. I went from Napoleon's minimal makeup foundation to this and find that it is very easy to apply, and you can control the coverage to be a sheer or heavier coverage. It...

This is a great light coverage liquid foundation. I feel that a little bit goes a long way and it just smooths on nicely over my skin and evens out the skin tone. One thing I absolutely hate...

Lovely to apply as it glides and blends very easily. Does not have great coverage but ok if you don't have many blemishes. Even when primer is used underneath it does not last all day and touch ups...

The texture is nice, but it looked like I had spack-filler on (as my OH so helpfully pointed out). There wasn't a shade that matched my skin tone well enough - either too dark, too light or too...
