    I really wanted to like this because of all the hype and how good it is supposed to be for your skin and how natural it will make you look. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! I think in order for BM to look...

    i like this product because it provides good coverage. However i hate the fact that after a few hours it becomes visible and makes my pores look big.

    Worst foundation ever! Nothing natural about this junk. Terrible shiny coverage, settles into pores, helps initiate cystic acne.
