I've used many essence foundations and really liked most of them. This one doesn't work for me though. The lightest shade was noticeably too dark (and I have a "pale person's tan" now) and very...

I could not resist trying this base, as I like a lot of Essence’s products. This product, unfortunately, did not work so well for me. Firstly, I found it difficult to find a colour that suited me....

Essence is one of my favourite brands. I buy everything from them, except my foundation. All of them are just too orange. I tried multiple colours of this foundation and it just never looked good....

Does not stay for 16hours not even for 2 hours. The color becomes orange in 20 minutes because the product oxidizes very quickly.
