I found this foundation to have very good coverage! It went on easily and smoothly, and didn't feel heavy....What worked best for me here was patting (and not smearing), a very small amount, about a half pump, over my entire face, and then building up coverage around dark spots, under my eyes, etc. The coverage is great, and I didn't see a need for a concealer.

Even though unfortunately the shade I was sent was a little too dark I used it to set my contour and I loved it! ...I was a little worry with the color because it has warm undertones and my skin color is more cold, but I am impressed how discreet is the warm undertone and how good is the coverage EVEN with NO foundation before. It’s a really good product, for sure.
