First off - WHY IS THERE NO PUMP?! At this price point, having to spend extra money to buy a pump separately is obnoxious. I bought and fell in love with this foundation about a year ago. It...

For me it was comparable with maybelline fit me matte and poreless, and fit me had a better shade range for me as well as being a fraction of the price. Charging $10 extra for the pump seems very...

This is probably the most money I spent on a foundation. I sort of believed the hype. But I'm not sure about it after using it. First of all, it didn't stay in place for that long despite of what...

This is a cult foundation for a reason, that being its staying power. It adheres to the skin like paint, and stays there until you take it off. I find it could be described as specifically...
