description

A breakthrough liquid-to-powder foundation formula that absorbs oil, camouflages imperfections, and delivers a long-lasting velvet matte finish. This innovative foundation helps reduce the appearance of oil, acne scars, and severe breakouts. It's formulated with Cashmere Kaolinite Clay, which absorbs 75 percent of its weight in oil without over-drying the skin. The oil-free formula transforms instantly from liquid to powder, creating an all-day finish that camouflages imperfections and never appears dull, flat, or cakey. Ultra-fine pigments provide unsurpassed coverage and effectively eliminate the need for powder, blotting, or constant touch-ups throughout the day.

This foundation is so nice on so many levels. It has a nice finish, it lasts all day long and it just doesn’t move. The cons of it, as many have said, it finds all the teeny tiny dry patches...

I didn't like it! It looks very obvious on and does not give a natural skin feel so you end up looking caked. I applied it over the Hourglass Mineral Veil primer and followed the video instructions...

Okay, this is a complete dud. Was hoping I'd found a solution for summer and the shine it brings with it... nope. I don't think I've ever tried a less flattering foundation. Sinks into every...

It is pricey and it does not own up to its claims. The makeup only lasts about 4-5 hours if that. It dries really quick and does not blend well not worth the cost

I was given this as a sample. The texture was nice and silky but It turned my face orange and make my dry spots very obvious. Won't be buying it.

OK, so I bought this by mistake with a store credit. Meant to pick up the "illusion" foundation but didn't even realize until I had used some of the product. Absolutely dreadful on dry skin ......

Horrible. It found dry patches I didn’t know I had and gave me polka dot pores. The L’Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder (hard to find now) is so much better.
