LOVE THIS PRODUCT! However, I don't use it as a foundation. I use it as a contouring cream. It is a couple shades darker than my skin and just replicates natural shadows beautifully. I have been...

This is an interesting foundation, and I think someone with the proper skin type may enjoy it. For my dry skin, I didn't really like it. I found that, for me, I HAVE to blend / put this on with...
