Advantages: Value for money, gives a good look, adjusts to skin.

Disadvantages: Doesn't work well with sweat, needs re-doing after a few hours.

The texture of this foundation is very unusual, it is very light and fluffy, unlike any other foundation I have come across before. However, be careful, as this means it is easy to stick your finger right down to the bottom of the tub if you don't know what to expect!

I found that the colour adapted well to my skin, so that you couldn't tell I was wearing too much make up, giving me a natural looking glow. Although, I did find that it was more noticeable around my hair line and my nose, as it went a clumpy consistency after a few hours, so you have to re-do the foundation after a while, but this is common with most foundations. The worst thing about this foundation was that it did not react well with sweat, as when I sweated it came off in patches, meaning that I looked like I had very strange skin! So if you are going to do sports, remember to take this off as you won't look pretty afterwards!

When using it, I didn't find that I needed too much- a little goes a long way. This meant that the foundation was cost effective, as it lasted a long time. The price of this foundation wasn't too bad, around £6, which I thought was reasonable for a foundation.

The best part about this foundation was that I found you did not need to use powder alongside with it. It gave my skin a smooth texture, and not an oily one like many foundations do. This meant that powder didn't need to be used, saving me time and money. I do wonder though that if I had used powder, the foundation may not have clumped so much in certain areas, and may have lasted longer; but this would depend on your skin type.

Overall, I am very impressed with this product and I would use it again.

Summary: A good foundation, especially as powder isn't needed over the top, giving a natural look.
