The color was a perfect match for my skin (so hard to find) and the coverage looked natural but was enough to hide dark circles or the occasional blemish. ...This is a pretty good foundation as far as powders go; not full coverage but definitely covers redness and unevenness, it is surprisingly hydrating and leaves a nice finish on the skin (kind of glowy, not super matte).

My new favorite foundation!...It lasted through a full workday with zero touchups and no oiliness seeping through, which is amazing on my oily skin. The powder side is also lovely. I did have some slight creasing on my undereye concealer when using the powder, but that's pretty normal with any powder I use. ...I am very picky about balm foundations, but this one is somehow lightweight and blurring and radiant at the same time.
