I think this is a great "clean" foundation option. It has a beautiful soft matte finish (on my dry skin) but my skin never looks dry. I think it's at a pretty good price point as well for mid-range...

Not a fan. I feel like it never sets. There's really not much coverage either.

This is the best foundation I've tried so far. Skin Type: used to be oily, now normal. Skintone: NC20 in MAC, with saturated yellow undertone. G30 is my best match in depth, but the undertone is a...

One of the few perfect matches I’ve found for my skin. The coverage is buildable without looking heavy or cakey. It’s also has much less of a learning curve than Hourglass Vanish Liquid foundation.

Kinda disappointed with this product. Not oily girl friendly as thought. Finish is okay. I absolutely would not repurchase this nor the concealer. I’ll stick with MAC on both.

I am an oily skinned girl and wanted to try something new besides L'Oréal pro matte and ELDW. This has great shade selection however highlights every pore, scar and super oily by the end of the day.

If you have oily skin like I do, this stuff is amazing. It's a pretty matte finish and it stays matte for a long time. I only need to touch up with powder once (which is saying a lot considering I...

Light coverage, really did not cover much at all, and became incredibly oily and shiny within a few hours on my skin. Great color range, but just did not work out for me.
