Review (4/5): Great for dry skin!
I wish this was available in stores in the states so that I could have gotten a better match, but alas, it's only available through the internet here. I'm glad I also ordered 53 light beige because I usually end up mixing the two to get it just right. Maybe in the winter this will match better. I also wish there were more shades available, but then ordering over the internet is tough with foundation when you can't compare in person. I apply it with a Real Techniques sponge, and it goes on nice and smoothly. I tried it with a brush, but it kind of looked streaky. Since I also have dry skin, the sponge works better for me anyway. It feels really nice. It feels almost like bare skin but slightly better, like nicely moisturized skin. With a makeup setting spray, I get pretty good coverage for about 8 hours. It might last even longer, but that's as long as I've worn it. Once it seemed to wear off early, but I didn't use setting spray that time either. Also, it's summer and humid here, so I think that makes all makeup wear sooner. I think it would be a great winter time foundation for the extra moisturization and the shade I have is just a shade or two lighter than I need. It is fairly light to medium coverage, but I can build up to good medium coverage. A lot of people comment that it has a fruity smell, and it does but it's not like I pump it into my hand and go 'oh fruit' every time. I have to smell the pumped product on my hand or sponge directly before I notice it. Definitely not overpowering but pleasant.
