This is a really really nice full coverage foundation. A little goes a looooong way! It’s got more of a soft matte finish, so maybe not great for dry skin, but it really lasts all day...Amazing for Dry Skin...I was hesitant on buying this foundation because it’s suited for oily skin and I have VERY dry skin, however it held up so well throughout the day and did not flake on my skin at all or emphasize any texture.

What it is: A non-comedogenic, lightweight serum foundation that covers blemishes, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, while visibly blurring pores. The extreme long wear formula controls shine all day and stands up to sweat and humidity.
