Advantages: Stays on in most situations

Disadvantages: Easy to squeeze out too much

This is probably one of the most expensive products I buy and have been using it for about 2 years now.
I have quite pale skin so have had difficulty finding a shade that doesn't make me look like I've overdone the fake tan and the 100 Fair shade is one of the best shades I've found. Although it's not a perfect match to my skin tone it doesn't look completely unnatural.

I have sensitive combination skin and switched to this product from using a powder foundation. The Lasting Performance goes on better and stays on much longer. Unfortunately I have quite an oily T-zone so it does start to rub off there a little earlier than their guaranteed 8 hours but a little powder over the top of the foundation helps to prevent this.

Although this is quite an expensive product I do find that it lasts quite a long time as a little goes a long way. But do be careful when squeezing the bottle as it is quite easy to squeeze out more than you need and not very easy to get it back in!

When the product is running low it can be difficult to get the foundation out if you've left the bottle on its side so try to keep it upright to avoid this issue or you'll have to wait a while for it to run back down the bottle.

Despite any shortcomings I would definitely recommend this product, particularly for those with pale skin struggling to find a suitable shade.

Summary: Good value for money.
