Advantages: Not too expensive, a good starter product.

Disadvantages: Coverage too light, sponge absorbs most of the product.

I got this on a BOGOF offer, alongside another 17 foundation and found this product to be quite disappointing.

It comes with a sponge applicator, but when I tried to apply it with this I found that the sponge absorbed most of the product and I only managed to get a patch of product on my skin. The results therefore were a bit blotchy and the colour seems to be darker than other products from 17 in the same shade.

I found that applying it with a denser powder brush works quite effectively, however, the coverage is really light- more like a finishing powder than a foundation.

The fact that it is mineral based is encouraging, so at least I know that when I wear it I'm not clogging my pores up with loads of gunk!

It isn't all that expensive compared to other mineral based products so is a good starter product for younger teenagers having a play around with makeup!

Summary: A good product for teenagers just starting out for makeup, but not for me!
