Got a perfect color match with decent coverage
I included a half make-up, half naked skin photo, taken with my phones portrait filter off, to give you some sense of how this foundation looks.<br />I was fortunate in that the time I spent studying the shades on the product page paid off with a pretty spot on color match for my skin, which had me very excited.<br /><br />Regarding how the make-up went on, I actually found I got better results applying it with my finger than I did with the included make-up sponge.<br />I know using a sponge is better for your skin, but I found it just kept blending the foundation right off my face.<br />Whether that was a result of how I applied it, the foundation itself, and/or the sponge is up for debate.<br />Since you get two sponges included with the two bottles of make-up, you can experiment and decide what application method works best for you.<br />Side note, this is way too thick to be air brushed on and can't be diluted, so if you use an airbrush, this foundation probably isn't for you.<br /><br />Regarding how the foundation looked and felt, I would say, standard.<br />This reminded me of pretty much every good quality foundation I have ever tried.<br />- It looks best after you first put it on<br />- It covers many, but not all marks and discoloration<br />- As the end of the day approaches, it starts to look "fatigued"<br />- It will wipe off on hands, clothing, etc... if you rub your face<br />- You need to put some effort into getting all traces of the foundation cleaned off at the end of the day<br />- For best results, you'll probably want to pair it with a spot concealer and finishing powder<br /><br />Overall, this is a solid foundation that performs well, but is not exceptional.<br />If you get a good match to your skin tone like I did, I suspect you will be very pleased with this make-up set.<br />In the end, I would definitely recommend this, so long as you understand this is not the ultimate fix all your problems, find your prince, do your taxes, and make you smarter miracle in a bottle all foundations claim to be, but instead, a quality make-up that will give you good coverage.
