Awful in every way.
I received a deluxe sample of this foundation in an Ipsy bag. I was so excited because people seem to love it...but it's horrible! It took half the bottle to even get an even application, and it still looked blotchy. The coverage is mediocre at best and it has zero staying power. After a few hours it had all separated and my skin was more oily and shiny than it had ever been. You couldn't pay me to put this stuff near my face again.
I got a grey cast..
I was given a makeover in Sephora and this foundation was touted as the best of the best. It looked fine in store but by the time i got home an hour later I had a very thin looking grey cast and it was pretty cakey despite only a normal-thin layer being applied. I am tan skin colour, usually a light medium. I had heard about this foundation doing the cast on POC, but I was actually really surprised it did it to me too as Im so much on the lighter end of POC spectrum... I did sweat a bit on the transit home so Im certain thats why it caked even though its supposed to be the best for sweat and heat etc. I would not recommend it at all. I mean if you can't wear it for an hour to work why wear it at all right? Even my husband who knows nothing about makeup at all noticed these things.
Fondation
I simply hate this product. Have heard a lot about it on youtube several years ago and didn't buy it because I wasn't sure it was good. This year I had enough courage and I bought it. Guys, it's awful. Let's start with the package. It's PLASTIC. If you are a 'professional' brand, how dare you to make a plastic bottle? All high-end makeups that I have used had a glass bottle. Okay. Next is coverage. It covers nothing. The worst purchase ever!
Don't waste your money
I purchased this twice and each time I was disappointed. The foundation doesn't stay on all day, and it oxidizes. It is one shade when I put in on in the morning and its a completely darker shade when I step outside of the house. The worst is my face gets very oily even when I'm setting it with powder.
I do not understand the popularity
I do not understand why this foundation is so highly regarded. I find the coverage really poor, and texture completely cakey and unnatural when built up even slightly for more coverage. I've tried several different application methods with brushes and fingers and well as combinations of primers & moisturizer and cannot get this to look any good. Disappointing as it's quite expensive. My skin is fairly normal, leaning toward dry. I recommend seeing if you can get a sample before investing.
