I used this product for a while, but it was pretty terrible. It did nothing to help control oil/shine, and it started sliding off my face after about 4-6 hours. It didn't apply evenly, especially...

I'm a little unsure about how I like this foundation. It's hard to blend, smells strongly of sunscreen, dries too quickly, and looks like I obviously have makeup on. But then I mixed it with my...
