Advantages: Staying power, and gives luminous glow

Disadvantages: No SPF mentioned

I am a bit of a make-up fiend - as I have mentioned in other skincare reviews, I have less than perfect skin, and am forever looking for products which will hide the flaws whilst not giving me a mask like base.
Well, here is such a foundation.
I only recently bought it, but it is fantastic.
It has staying power, even after a stressful 10 hour day at work. It covers flaws, whilst still letting my freckles (honest a sign of beauty!) show through. It does give a luminous glow to skin, although it is definitely not sparkly. It looks good in both natural and strip light situations (I have yet to test it in candle light).
As a pale face, I bought 'Candle Glow', which is a perfect colour - it does come in 7 other colours (there were only 6 in total when I bought mine - maybe because it was just out), from Candle Glow to Cocoa Glow.
This foundation is suitable for dry/delicate to oily skins - mine is combination, and I have no shine through at the end of the day.
I would recommend that you apply it in stages, as the first time I used it, I put far too much on my fingertips - a little definitely goes a long way. The bottle is 30ml - pretty much average size for a bottle of foundation, and I did find it excellent value for money, even though it is more expensive than 'High Street' brands, such as Boots No7. You definitely get what you pay for here.
I would add however, that there is no reference to SPF anywhere, and I didn't notice when I bought it, so perhaps if you do have sun sensitive skin, it may not be for you.
