Advantages: FANTASTIC

Disadvantages: none

This makeup is amazing. It blends in fabulously and gives you flawless skin. I have tried many foundations and have never found one as good as this, not only is it spf 15, waterproof and actually good for your skin (the minerals help to prevent spots) its really easy to use and great for all types of skin, a fantastic lightweight foundation for teenagers AND adults, you dont often get one like that. You can't feel you have it on which makes it nicer to wear and unlike liquid foundations it will not melt! To get the full potential from the foundation you will need a kabuki brush with very dense bristles which you can purchase from various shops, i use the bourjois version, costing around £5.00. Its also useful to have a small flat brush for areas like under the eyes and around the nose. To apply you only need a very small amount which is another plus point as the pot lasts a very long time (i've had mine for about 6 months and still have half the pot) shake it out onto the lid, dip your brush in and use short circular motions to apply it to the skin. If you accidentily use to much it doesnt seem to matter either, it still blends in without you being able to see it. I recomend the fairly light for paler skin and the medium beige for pretty much all other types, it suits most complexions. If you look on ebay you can purchase tester pots to see which colour is best for you, i also think that ebay is the best place to buy it as well, its by far the cheapest, the prices vary alot on the net - anything from £15 to £40. I apply the foundation at the beginning of the day and it lasts all day without fading, even if you forget to take it off it wont harm your skin if you sleep in it, unlike many other foundations. This gives maximum coverage and a lovely healthy glow giving you the illusion of perfect skin, even if you have scars, spots or freckles, it covers everything subtly, no one would ever know you were wearing foundation. I would recomend it to anyone.

Summary: Flawless skin/ foundation thats good for you...what more could you want?
