It is an alright foundation. I like the SPF fact but it is really oily and the packaging isn't great. I think it broke me out because when i stopped using it, my skin was fine again.

It blends very well. Since it's a cream foundation in a stick form, it is a little too heavy for me as well. I am a medium colored asian and the NC30 works well, although compared to other...

I love the studio stick foundation as a concealer. It does a great job in covering acne scars and blends really nicely. I'm not used to cream foundations so to me it's a little heavy as a...
