Advantages: Inexpensive, nice texture, decent colour range , container

Disadvantages: not good on dry skin, doesn't give full coverage

I paid about £4 for this foundation, which seems a good deal, considering it doesn't feel like a cheap product when applied and comes in a generous container, (about palm sized). This container also means you can tell exactly how much foundation is left and enables you to use the entire product.

Something I particularly liked about this product is the colour range- I am quite pale and often find foundations too orange, yet the "004 Champagne" was fine. It also has a unique texture, and the thickness of the formula means it's easier to take the precise amount require in comparison to more liquid foundation.

One problem I found with this foundation is that it can become very flaky on dry skin- this problem was resolved reasonably well by applying more moisturizer and using a sponge to blend really well. It's also worth noting this foundation gives light to medium coverage, which gives a fairly natural look but won't completely cover all imperfections.

Summary: This foundation does really well in comparison to similarly priced products.
