This is a pretty good foundation for the gals with oilier skins. The coverage is quite sheer (unless you use a lot of the product) and the finish is a soft powdery finish. The finish of this...

The colour of this foundation (NC20) is so perfect for my skintone- I don't even really have to blend at the jawline because it is such a prefect match. The texture what you would expect from a...

the stick goes on very well, but it has no staying power. I went thru a stick in a little over a month. I needed to put a decent amount of powder on over the foundation to get it to last a little...
