I'm shocked at all of the negative reviews for this amazing product. Yes, it's expensive. But one pump covers my whole face, another my neck and chest when necessary. And I am definitely willing to...

I don't like this foundation. I have normal skin and this always breaks down on me, no matter the base underneath it. It kinda feels like pigment in a watery-silicony base, with no adherent...

Got this in 3.5. It’s natural looking and beautiful, but it’s too expensive to use regularly. It was more medium coverage than full which I prefer.

Hate this foundation. It's patchy and settles strangely. Drying. Waste of money.
