Love this product, when I use it at night and I know I'll be out for hours I use the product as it is. During day time wear I moisturize my face with rose gold elixir and it lightens my complexion...

I use NC50. You can use it on top of moisturizer for a less heavy look and for more coverage, apply thickly.

Doesn't live up to the hype. Goes patchy, oxidises and rubs off easily during the day. Looks Cakey and the lack of pump on the bottle annoys me. I hate wasting make up so I'll consider using the...

In a few words, this foundation does not stay put, does not always dry matte, gets greasy, gets cakey, fades, and also it broke me out. So this was my first ever high-end foundation, and when I...
