Beautiful!
This is a very nice light to medium coverage. I love this foundation. For the price this is a steal. Extremely moisturizing.

Better foundations out there
It fades super quick. It does not stay on the skin

YOU cannot ignore the awful ingredients in this.
ONE. Oxtinoxate. It penetrates the skin, and is an endocrine disruptor. Also it does not provide UVA and UVB filter. Not great sun protection at all.
SECOND. Do you know how much ALCOHOL is in this? A major ingredient, and this is awful for the skin. It is such an irritant. My skin cannot tolerate any skin product with ALCOHOL in it, let alone the volume that this contains. Awful.
THIRD. Caster oil. LIKE WHY? There is no definitive jury out on any skin benefit. A cheap heavy oil that will reck havoc with a lot of peoples' skin. WHY not joboba oil instead.
FOURTH. Lavender oil. Lavender oil can be for many a major skin irritant. It is not calming, maybe it is to smell, but if you have sensitive skin you do not want this placed on your skin.
I think you have to look at the ingredients in a product as well as its performance; you can't overlook. At least, this doesn't have talc in it. Need I say anymore.

Too oily and oxidized after a few hours
It was a perfect shade (330) and looked incredibly nice the moment you put on your face but after a few hours, it became so oily and oxidized to a darker shade (I have dry skin tho). Had to return it. I strongly suggest for a whole day wear test before buying it.

gorgeous foundation that feels like skincare
What a beautiful foundation. It goes on so smoothly without settling into pores. It gives a natural looking finish that is neither matte nor overly radiant. It just looks like healthy, smooth skin.

Sun Protection that looks good on me
The aesthetic appeal of this product is commendable, and its daily utility is highly valued. The inclusion of SPF is a significant advantage.

I would buy again
Perfect shade match. I like how light it is for my everyday 5 min look.
