Advantages: excellent coverage, good for oily skin

Disadvantages: can be messy

I have always had trouble finding a foundation to suit my skin as it is rather oily and make up never seems to stay on for any long period of time, often making my face look very shiny, which is not a good look. However, this foundation was the one I needed all along. It is perfect for skin like mine as it is oil-free balancing and it is a light liquid, not thick and heavy on the skin but still has good coverage.
It has a sun protection factor of 15 and has moisturiser in it to protect the skin as well as cover it well. It leaves a lovely natural, matte look. It can be bought in any body shop store or online on the body shop website for £11.70 for 30 ml, which lasts a very long time as not much is needed to be used at once. It lasts me about 6 months so the slightly high price is worth it really.
I like body shop products as, like this foundation, they are all dermatologically tested and use natural ingredients that are good for human skin and no people or animals have suffered or lost out from the production of them. This product has given me great confidence as I can wear it every day and feel my skin glows naturally, without looking too 'made up' or fake.
I find that the body shop foundation brush is best for applying this foundation, which costs £11.25 and is good for getting it on even and without getting messy hands which prevents it getting onto clothes or anything near, because if this happens it is quite hard to clear up.
Overall, I feel this foundation is a much better alternative to high street make up brands that may be cheaper but run out quickly and are simply not as good.

Summary: priced slightly higher than most but by far the best foundation, especially if you have oily skin
