This product was my go to foundation for about 5-6 years because the coverage was great and I loved the shade match. What I DID NOT like was the fragility of the product - which is why I have indicated that the price is not worth it. The compact was always kept in my bathroom and for no reason the cake would suddenly crumble making it impossible to use - I was so frustrated that I quit using the product.

First of all, the packaging is very nice and sturdy and has a classy look to it. The sponge that comes with it is to be tossed. I tried using it at first, but it gives a really cakey finish and uses way too much product. I would recommend that a nice dense kabuki brush be used instead. The finish and the color match were quite good, although if you look in direct sunlight, you can see shimmers-something that I definitely do not want in my face products. The reason why I wouldn't purchase this again is that within two weeks of using this, I developed whiteheads over the areas where the product has been applied. As I didn't use it for my whole face, it was very easy to pinpoint the reason why my face was breaking out only on my forehead and cheek areas. The good thing is that the Body Shop has a good return policy and took the item back and refunded my money. The bad thing is that I am now left battling these whiteheads :(
