I have wasted so much money on foundations that just don't work. I have oily skin and this is the only foundation that lasts all day. High coverage but doesn't look cakey. Very easy to blend and looks very natural. A little goes a long way so you really do get your money's worth! I would highly recommend using this with the Estee Lauder smoothing matte base primer so that your make up lasts even longer. I use this combo and now I stay matte all day for the first time ever.

The packaging is lovely, and comes in a shiny bluw box with tissue wrapping, and a glass bottle with gold and white writing. Initially I was a bit put off by the fact that the bottle didn't have a dispenser, but having used it I've got my technique down and ...  Read the complete review
