Advantages: Flawless effect, standard price

Disadvantages: Not long lasting like it claims

This foundation is a two part foundation designed to give flawless coverage and apparently give coverage for up to 12 hours. I've only personally experienced one of those claims.


The foundation is fairly easy to use. The applicator it's just a simple pump action which usually releases the foundation half and the white half. You then just apply it to your face as simply as any other foundation.

I've loved the effect this foundation leaves. It doesn't result in a too shiny appearance and actually does give me a perfectly flawless and yet natural look.

To be honest I've never noticed this foundation 'staying' on my face any longer than any other foundation I've ever owned. The colour on my face stayed pretty much the same in shade for the first 2/3 hours after application and just gentally faded from there, really no different from any other foundation which doesn't have a 'superstay' claim.

This is just another branded cosmetic product which is priced pretty standardly at around £8, just about the same as all other branded foundations you'll find on the same aisle.

My main problem with this product was sort of the same and the opposite at the start of using it and at the end. When I start using it obviously using the pump function the only product I got out was the white liquid which is useless for me as foundation and therefore as wasted. Towards the end of using the product I obviously ended up just pumping up the darker, shaded liquid. When applying just this to my face (as it was the only foundation I had left) this was thick and gloopy and way too dark for my face. So once again I'm left with part of my product to waste. But this was a minor problem and I was personally able to look past it to buy this product for a second time.
