I have mixed feelings about this foundation. I will say it is much better than what I expected considering the price, it's originally $6 but I bought it during a 50% off sale and instead paid $3. ...

Not sure what everyone else is using, I hated this. The coverage was great.. but the packaging (the pump became defective), it looks terrible on dry skin and it has mineral oil, NOT oil-free.
