i have normal sensitive skin, i tend to breakout easily i try so many liquid foundations but this one is a miracle on my skin is not too thick it goes smooth on my skin and the best thing it doesn't break me out which makes me love this product more, i being using it for 2 years and i will continue using it. and its good for those who gets shiny on the t-zone...I bought this thinking it would control my oily t-zone seeing as how it says it absorbs oil. I've been wearing about 3 weeks and my nose just ends up being super oily after just a couple of hours.It gives good coverage but other than that,not a very good oil absorber.
