Advantages: Very natural looking, long lasting.

Disadvantages: Not great coverage, dries quickly.

At first I absolutely loved this foundation as it does stay put really well especially with powder or a primer. However, as I continued using I realised that it really wasn't that good. It is suitable for oily skin, so it is water based. This means that it dries very quickly so you need to blend as soon as you apply it. If you try and blend after it has dried, you end up rubbing the foundation off and get an even more obvious tide mark than before. The coverage is not great to be honest - you can build it up but then you end up using loads of the foundation. It is very good in the fact that it looks very natural and never looks caked. The colour range is good but don't try and match it yourself as you'll either end up looking orange or like a ghost! It is best, like with most foundations to get it matched at your nearest Lancome counter. I would recommend this to people who want to wear foundation but don't need much coverage as this foundation is very thin. For people who need more coverage, I would recommend Estee Lauder double wear foundation.

Summary: Good for people who need a long lasting foundation but not much coverage.
