THINGS TO RAVE ABOUT

• Easy to Apply: "It feels creamy and luxurious when you apply it, like a moisturizer, and it blends in perfectly with the fingers or a brush; I didn't use a sponge because lately, i'm too lazy...so I prefer my fingers, which give a nice, glowy finish to the skin." by JolieBelle
• Great Packaging: "The application is easy, pump action makes it even better and the packaging is gorgeous." by Cosmetic Madness
• Dewy, Not Greasy: "This is definitely a dewy foundation but I would never describe it as looking "greasy" or "oily". Healthy glow is the word. It gives a flawless and poreless finish, which looks "expensive" as some people may call it." by FrazzleDazzle
• Highlighting: "It has a built in glow/highlighter, that creates a brilliant finish for those who don't like a matte finish." by Nostalgicdoll

THINGS TO RANT ABOUT

• Limited Shade Range: "There are only 6 shades available so not the widest of choices and I also found that there isn't much difference between the shades, so not very impressive at all and those with particuarly dark skin would struggle to get a good colour match." by gemmakeup
• Shimmery: "The thing that bothers me the most about this is the shimmer/sparkle thing. I really like just about everything about this foundation except for the sparkle. It's not crazy glitter, but I can notice it." by housesweet
• Little Concealing: "It provides me with a light to medium coverage but didn't do anything to cover any blemishes or scarring I had." by fashiondoll20

IS IT FOR YOU?

YES: "If you have dry skin and prefer a healthy, dewy finish with medium coverage." by sparkleglittz
NO: "If you like a matte finish with full coverage and heavy-duty concealing." by raindrop
