I have used this since I was 18 years old- as fast approaching 40 quite some time! Despite trying others along the way I have always gone back to this foundation. It is so easy to apply, blend and even better touch up- as and when needed during the day if needed. Even though a sponge to powder this does not feel at all dry and doesn't look patchy on the skin! It lasts ages and is well worth the investment. Ironically my 18 year old daughter now is wearing this too! There is a really good range of colours available -I tend to go from gentle beige in the winter to toasty in the summer months! Has a good size mirror so handy to carry around and in all the years I have used haven't had a cracked mirror yet despite my appearance! I would highly recommend to all as you can wear as light or extra for full coverage as preferred!
