Pros:

it moisturizes

Cons:

i feel like im using a lotion not a foundation. i have to rub for so long just to get the color to come out. the color doesn't even match me how it said it would. i see way too much whiteness afterwords

pretty much i would only say to use this if you don't have any acne. not even scars. this has zero coverage. it moisturizes really good but as far as doing what foundation is supposed to it? ehh

Pros:

--I didn't spend too much money on it, got it on sale.
--Color matched my skin tone pretty well.

Cons:

--LIGHT coverage
--Expensive..otherwise
--Streaky/cakey
--End up using a lot of product at one time
--Not a whole lot of shades to choose from

I bought this foundation because I heard a lot about it and thought "why not?" The coverage isn't all that great, it's more for a person who has very light acne. If you're looking for coverage this is NOT the foundation for you. I found myself applying it a few times through out the day because the coverage didn't last long. I liked the "color beads" that blend into your skin, it matched me spot on but I know it's not for everyone considering there aren't very many shades.

Pros:

Won't break you out

Cons:

Shade is always a little "off"...i tried both fair to light and light to medium in the foundation and both gave my skin a grayish, lifeless look...the blush is perfect, though, and i use that on top of different foundations, that's why i gave this a 2 instead of a 1

except for the blush, the whole "the foundations magically match your skin color!" thing was too good to be true for me
