I have such a love and hate relationship with this foundation. Pros: - a gorgeous finish. It gives just the right amount of coverage (covers under-eye circles and most blemishes) without looking...

Smashbox isn't vegan and tests on animals, so I won't be buying this again period. This gave me a really glowy finish, that was lovely and illuminating. It did get a little oily on my forehead...

I really like this foundation. It isn't too heavy and doesn't crease. The only problem is that it's hard to build up if you want better coverage. I use this foundation on days where I don't want to...
