Would you buy this product again? yes

After going through MAC's liquid foundations 1 by 1 .. I finally found one that I can wear. The first few weeks of trying this i started getting breakouts ..I wasnt too pleased considering I am not someone who breaks out.
I loved this stuff, so i started trying different things to see if i could prevent the breakouts & still use this. First thing i did was go out and buy one of those facial cleansing brushes . I decided that i wouldnt allow this to stay on my face any longer than it needed to. So , the second im home for the day I use my little face scrubber & scrub my face really good. Ive always had a great skincare routine, but that wasnt enough for this foundation aparantly.
Now , i can use this stuff & have no more problems with it. I also decided that if i was staying home for the day, id skip my face & just do my eyes..that way my face could rest from this.

On to the good stuff , this gives light to medium coverage , but is buildable if you let it dry between applications. Ove it i use MSF natural & i have the perfect amount of glowiness to my face ..and boy this makes your skin look flawless as a team.
I wouldnt recommend this to someone who is acne prone or has oily skin ..I think its better suited for normal to dry skin & more mature skin also.

currently my HG foundation, my skin has finally settled into this after i tested out the select spf (felt too greasy & oily for me) and the studio fix fluid (loved it, but broke me out something fierce). i like the fresh, dewy look this foundation gives me & the coverage is great, i can build it really easily. i started using moisturelush cream as a primer & this foundation lasts all day long without feeling heavy. i am a NC15 too, so the lighter foundations tend to wash me out even more, but this one matches perfectly!

I'm NW15 and it matches my skin really well, plus I like that it isn't too heavy but I cannot stand the satinfinish at all, really of my cup of tea.

I have both NC 20 and 25, for winter and summer. I love this foundation. I have normal to dry skin and I love the finish this gives my skin-dewy and luminescent, but not oily.

This product is like putting a lotion on your face that never seems to dry. It's quite slick and don't even think about touching your face! It seems to never dry... my face always feels too moist and if something touches my face (like my phone) it gets a little smidge of foundation on it. It's like your face is melting off, and therefore doesn't really last long. A couple times of blotting your face easily will take it off.

It's too bad, too, because the color is gorgeous.

I had a sample and wanted to buy this because of the excellent colour (very light NC 15, lighter than the other foundations) and some good reviews.
Unfortunately the foundation oxidized on my skin so that by the end of the day it was very orange and dark. I looked like I had an orange suntan. Luckily for me I tried this at home. Also it made my skin itch and a few days later I noticed breakouts.
So I´m thankful for the sample, but I would have wished even more the colour had stayed the same throughout the day, because the general feeling of this is good; the coverage was very light and nice.

I love the pump, the product can easily be dosed. Coverage is light/medium. I have slightly visible pores an this makes them more visible. When I put it on it slightly itches, and it oxidizes on me during the day. Big no for me.

Definitely love the pump! It has good coverage without feeling heavy. Great finish that leaves you feeling more dewy than powdery like some foundations. Too dewy for me though by itself so I use my 182 Buffer Brush and apply Laura Mercier's translucent powder or BE Mineral Veil and its awesome.
