Advantages: Good Coverage With A Great Finish

Disadvantages: Not Suitable For All Skin Types

The description of this product is a cream foundation packaged in a black round compact with a separate compartment for sponge. It's supposed to be good for all skin types while provides a natural matte, powder-perfect finish. It claims to be dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, non-acnegenic and safe for contact lens wearers. It retails for around 15 GBP and there're 27 shades in total. This foundation is not oil-free and it doesn't contain SPF. I don't know a single makeup artist that does not use this regularly in their work. It photographs very well! The coverage makes it easy to layer and is very buildable depending on your application. Using your fingers will give a very full, heavy coverage whereas a brush will give a very sheer satin coverage. The sponge that comes supplied with this product will give you medium to heavy coverage you can use the sponge wet or dry. The finish is more satin than matte and dries like a powder.
This is not the best foundation for oily or very acne-prone skin due to the fact that it contains hydrogenated castor oil, silcones, and wax. Although I didn't experience any breakouts from Studio Tech using this foundation on a regular basis could cause you to become sensitised to its ingredients.
There is a wide range of shades that most people can find a perfect colour match easily. Overall a great product and would definately recommend.

Summary: I would recommend
