I love it! When I was first approached in store, I was very skeptical because I have tried so many foundations. This one however finally gave me everything I wanted. It matched perfectly to my skin tone and you can't even see its there. It dries on my skin and leaves it matt (I have very oily skin). But most importantly it does not leave stains on my clothes. I recommend it 100%.

I got a sample of this foundation because I wanted to find my shade after hearing all the rave about it. Whilst the price point was a little out of my budget at the time, I am definitely buying a full size - I am saving for it. It is super easy to apply and even better to blend out. After struggling with acne for a bit, it was really hard to find a foundation that lasted the whole day without cracking or looking weird. This foundation was amazing and looked the same throughout the whole day. It didn't feel cakey or as heavy as other foudnations felt on my skin and I loved that.

This foundation is pretty new to my collection, but I have tested it with a few different products in a few different scenarios.
Us oily skin girlz tend to steer clear from foundations that mention "hydrating", but when I saw that some of my favourite Youtube influencers really loved it - I knew I had to try this one for myself.
There are quite a few different shades for multiple skin tones. For shade ref, I am NC20-25 in MAC and 2.1 in the Studio Skin.
The foundation comes with a pump and for full coverage, I use 3 pumps. 2 pumps will give you a medium coverage. In my opinion, this foundation is buildable.
It performs very well on my oily self when paired with a primer and powder. I do get dewy around the 5 hour mark, but what really impresses me is that it does not move at all.
It does not separate or transfer. It does not wipe off when you blot. Except for it not being as matte as Double Wear, it definitely stays on like Double Wear.
It also does not just sit ontop of the skin, it blends very well to look like skin. Overall, I am really happy with it and will definitely repurchase and recommend.

I know that I have found the right foundation when I have bought at least 7 bottles so far! This foundation truly impresses and is my ultimate favourite. I am using Colour 2.2 which is Light Golden Beige and I love how this foundation matches my skin tone so perfectly. The foundation looks luminous and not like a mask. This foundation is highly pigmented so little is needed to achieve flawless results. I set my foundation with Halo loose powder and voila, I am ready to go! The true test of any foundation is when you look at your face come midday. With this amazing foundation, my skin still looks perfect in the afternoon. No touch ups needed! A little word of warning though, please ensure that every bit of the foundation is removed as this is a long wearing formula and you don't want any makeup to be left on your skin as it could result in breakouts! Overall, i am throughly impressed and will continue to buy this foundation!

I LOVE this foundation.
It's like THEE perfect foundation ever!
I've been trying this product out for 2 weeks now and have put it through all different scenarios to test its effectiveness and it hasn't at all let me down.
The formula is really lightweight and a perfect application can be achieved with a foundation brush, starting with small strokes from the nose area towards the outter parts of the face.
Its heat resistant so it wont melt off, even without using fixing products.
Sweat resistant so even if you go to gym with this foundation it will stay put!
Does not transfer!!!!!!I love this factor! I can wear white scarves and hug everyone without worrying about transfer.
It gives really full coverage too, so your skin actually looks flawless!
I've been a full day on the beach with this, gone clubbing all night with this, taken an hour run with this and yet, it hasn't failed me once!

This foundation looks very natural with a semi-matte finish. It offers a buildable coverage from medium to full coverage. It truly gives your skin a flawless look. I found that I do not even need to use a concealer when wearing this foundation.
When wearing this foundation my skin feels hydrated the entire day.
