One of my favorite foundations right about now. I can opt for light or medium coverage from this - depending upon how I apply it. For a light coverage, usually when at home and not needing as much on, I dot a small amount of Sheer Glow around my face & neck, and use a slightly damp beauty blender to blend in. This gives a slightly dewy finish too. When I need more coverage and a more matte finish I apply with fingertips only. In either case this does slightly oxidize within the first hour or so, so if it doesn't look spot-on at first, give it a bit of time before reaching any conclusions. For me the color match is fantastic, it looks like I'm not wearing anything, very natural and a nice luminous look, or a 'sheer glow' if you like! Longevity is also great - I can get almost a full day out of this without it turning patchy or creasing. The only downside is there's no pump on the bottle - which for something at this price range I would have expected it to have as a given, and also no SPF in here so I have to apply an SPF separately, before my primer and this. On the upside though the absence of SPF means my face is much more flash-photography friendly, something I rarely achieve with any of the SPF foundations I have. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (thought it might be useful to share my 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

Anti-Aging Serum: Divine Herbal Facial Treatment Serum < 6. Mask: ‘Eve Lom’ – Radiance Transforming Mask < 7. Face Scrub: ‘Sisley' - Botanical Gentle Buffing Cream
This leaves you with a matte look— you look fresh the whole time with this on. I used to wear the MAC studio fix foundation which I felt always left my face lookin g and feeling oily. This is much better! So glad I tried this. I’m sticking with it!
I blend it in with my SPF daily moisturizer. Not greasy/shiny but also not dry. Perfect color for my fair skin. Don't need to use alot. Buy the pump dispenser and reuse when you buy a new bottle!
