I first received this as a sample with my Nordstrom order. I've tried a few other products that had a glittery/shimmery finish more appropriate for a college student. I was truly taken back by how nice this is. It does leave my skin with a radiant glow. The fresh look has nice staying power. Even on mature skin this is fantastic and does not settle into fine lines.

I tried this foundation over the course of several months in order to do a thorough review on it. This is one of the best foundations I have ever tried. The consistency and coverage is amazing, very luxurious. Despite it being a "sheer" foundation, I find that not only is it buildable, it does provide good coverage and evens out skintone, which is important to me because I have pigmentation/ dark spots and acne scars on my skin. Also, the "luminous" part of this foundation wears well on my combo to oily skin and does not make me look greasy at all. I tried the foundation with and without a primer. As with any foundation, it will last longer and will not settle into pores and fine lines when used with a primer. Because it does not have SPF in it, the foundation does photograph well. Of course using an SPF under it when wearing it during the day is a good idea. I've never experienced oxidization with this foundation. But of course, having a good skin care routine can fix this problem regardless of the foundation. I also tried the foundation during the extremely hot Inland Empire weather. During that kind of heat, I found that it did not last as long on my skin, even with a primer (perhaps because I have to dab off the sweat from my skin throughout the day?) However, it is very comfortable to wear and I love that when it wears off, it does so evenly and without looking cakey. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. This foundation is worth every penny.

I have been wearing for about two years now and think this is the best makeup I've ever worn. Lasts forever so don't get thrown off because of price. Worth every penny.

It's probably my fault for ordering this color No.06 since I really wanted No. 04 which was unavailable. And there was no expected date of availablility. On the color chart it looked very similar but really is not when applying to my face. I guess I'll have to return this and wait for the color I originally asked for.
