Couldn't get it to work

I bought this foundation on sale because I needed a new one and this looked decent. I have very dry skin so I thought this would work out for me. I tried using it in the dead of winter (the driest skin time) and for the life of me, I can't get it to look natural. I've tried application with a beauty blender, brush and even my fingers. It still looked un natural and caked on. I tried adding extra moisturizer and using a lighter hand, but it still looked wrong. Not recommended.

Horrible, Cakey Foundation

This foundation is way too thick for my skin. It leaves my face feeling so cakey and heavy. I have tried mixing it with a moisturizer to thin it out and that works ok but when I try to use it alone I normally wipe my makeup off. It is way to thick and leaves my skin feeling horrible. Would not recommend.

I grabbed this totally by accident. I was not even interested in trying this product and meant to grab the pressed powder just to dust over my face to set my current foundation and concealer. When I got home and realized my mistake I decided I may as well try it. I found myself quite pleasantly surprised! I discarded the applicator it comes with and have applied it with both a brush and just my fingers and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
Obviously you need freshly moisturized skin before you apply this or you will have terrible results, but that applies to most makeup. I found myself quite impressed for the pricepoint how well this blended into my skintone, how well it evened out my skintone, and also how nicely it settled on my face. After it sets/dries it feels more like a light powder than a cream. You do have to have a light hand, better to layer it up than have too much.
This actually does a great job as a concealer as well, if you don't want to have full makeup.
