I got this as a sample and perhaps that might have been part of the issue, however I found that for a foundation it was far too runny and very difficult to work with. It also didn't blend well with my skin, as I found that it oxidized rather quickly. So on initial application it was a truer match, but within 5 minutes there was a distinct orange hue to it. I had high hopes for this, but sadly it didn't meet expectations.
