I was wary because my only other experience with powder foundation has been mineral makeup (which did not work for me) but this is great on my normal (normal in the summer, dry in the winter) skin. ...The balm is a great serious moisturizer.

It’s very light but covers great for summer. If my skin is more red than usual I just add a bit of concealer first and I’m good to go. ...The formula seems really nice, which makes this product totally worth it, but I am usually a neutral in Clinique foundations and I’m thinking now that ivory may be a better match for me (I am not fair, I have a medium skin tone).
