It seems to be some confusion with this foundation. The Luxiva Ultra Foundation with HC-12 is a thick and moisturizing coverage foundation. Great for dry skin! The Luxiva Ultra Powder Foundation...

I did not like this foundation at all. No coverage and made me very greasy. I think there are better powder foundations out there.
