This foundation I would say is more to the full coverage. Great for an oily/combination skin. Quite a strong smell that isn't the most pleasant but not unbearable. Doesn't come with a pump which I...

I have heard many good reviews about this product, so i thought i'd give it a try because the price of it wasn't bad at all. The foundation stays matte throughout the day, but it also has a...

I found this foundation too thick for my skin and it seemed to oxidise meaning that it would go on well and seem fine and then go patchy and oil throughout the day so my make up seemed to get worse...

For me, this is a nice enough foundation. Not HG, I think I'm still yet to find that, but I think I'd buy it again. I'm a Fairly Light in Bare Minerals, the lady at MAC matched me with NW13 which...

Love this foundation it applies smoothly and doesn't take no more than one or two pumps to do it's job (my opinion). It's buildable which is a good thing for those needing to hide minor...

This is my replacement for MAC's pro longwear foundation since I am under the impression that they have discontinued NW 13.
