Essential High Coverage Creme Foundation

• Really good coverage... but it oxydizes

  It is a great product. Probably the greatest finish I have seen in a foundation. I have dry, red skin and I'm acne-prone. Finding foundations is really difficult because I either look like the Sahara desert or like a buttercream cake, but that didn't happen. It was smooth, not overly matte to the point that I looked like the life had been sucked out of my skin but not shiny enough to make me feel like a disco ball. HOWEVER: BE CAREFUL, IT OXYDIZES!!! When I put it on, it looked incredible. I went out, and five minutes later, I was informed that I had turned orange. And not in the "oh, I color-matched myself in the shop and it looked different in natural light", no; it went from fair to medium and made me look sunburnt. I had to give the bottle to a friend who's at least four shades darker than me, when the foundation initially matched me perfectly. She hasn't had any issues with it at all, so maybe it just reacted with my skin, but it is something to consider. That's the reason I'm giving it 4 stars, because it should be stated somewhere, but it doesn't feel fair to rate it less than that because it really is an amazing product. Also note that it is a very liquidy product and it comes with a lost of useless packaging (the box is huge and the bottle fairly small, definitely not needed). It also smells a bit weird, it has no fragrance so it smells like... foundation? (It's just hard to describe). If that's not something that bothers you, then go ahead.

• Waaaaay too matte for my skin

  This is a very, very, drying foundation and I bet it's awesome if you have oily skin but for me it made me look very, very dry and cakey. I tried it with diffrent primers but it just didn't work for me. The covarage was great tho and a little goes a very long way. I ordered two shades, Bisque and Alabaster (I think) and those two mixed made the perfect shade for my very fair skin, with pink undertones. I'm gonna try mixing in a bit of oil to see if that helps, but right now, it's a no from me. I would recommend this to oily or normal skintypes.

• wow!

  wow! Just wow! I’m an Estelle Lauder kinda girl and this is better. My new favourite, the coverage is amazing and it stayed flawless for my 13 hour shift working in a kitchen & laundry. Can’t recommend this foundation enough.

• This can cover anything!

  I bought this as a 'treat yourself' kind of product because i have tried countless foundations claiming to be full coverage and have been disappointed time and time again.One drop and i was able to do half of my face so a little goes a long way! It covered all spots and discoloration without looking cakey. This can cover just about anything! Completely in love!
