With a lighter consistency than the Color Stay foundation, this formula is neither too runny nor too thick. In fact, it's just about right. Its finish is dewy as promised and not greasy at all. In fact, some users have found this foundation to be more on the dewy-matte side. For a better finish, try using a finishing powder to set everything as well as to mop up any excess oil from your face. With a good primer, the staying power of this foundation is significantly increased. Depending on your own personal preference, this foundation can provide you with medium to heavy coverage as it is build able. Ensure that you properly even things out so as to create a smoother finish during application. To begin with, pour some formula onto the back of your hand, and then use a brush to apply the foundation on your face. Finally, massage it in using buffing motions.
This foundation does have its cons as well. For instance, its features shades that are too dark or yellow for certain complexions and which tend to oxidize throughout the day leaving the user looking somewhat orange. Other shades tend to emphasize any flakes or dry spots on your face. You should therefore ensure that you moisturize well before using this foundation. You may also find that this foundation slides around on your oily forehead after a couple of hours of use and may have difficulty clinging onto the sections around your nose. The foundation also has a little sparkle and shimmer to it which may not be ideal for those who prefer a more inconspicuous look. However, if you enjoy a little shimmer in your foundation, then this will do. If anything, the sparkle enables you to look good in all lighting - be it flash lighting or bright lights. Other users have also reported looking good in pictures, dark light, indoor light as well as daylight simply because they used this foundation.
