got a perfect color match with decent coverage [SEP] i included a half make up half naked skin photo taken with my phones portrait filter off to give you some sense of how this foundation looksi was fortunate in that the time i spent studying the shades on the product page paid off with a pretty spot on color match for my skin which had me very excitedregarding how the make up went on i actually found i got better results applying it with my finger than i did with the included make up spongei know using a sponge is better for your skin but i found it just kept blending the foundation right off my facewhether that was a result of how i applied it the foundation itself and or the sponge is up for debatesince you get two sponges included with the two bottles of make up you can experiment and decide what application method works best for yoamericaide note this is way too thick to be air brushed on and cannot be diluted so if you use an airbrush this foundation probably is not for youregarding how the foundation looked and felt i would say standardthis reminded me of pretty much every good quality foundation i have ever tried it looks best after you first put it on it covers many but not all marks and discoloration as the end of the day approaches it starts to look fatigued it will wipe off on hands clothing etc if you rub your face you need to put some effort into getting all traces of the foundation cleaned off at the end of the day for best results you will probably want to pair it with a spot concealer and finishing powderoverall this is a solid foundation that performs well but is not exceptionalif you get a good match to your skin tone like i did i suspect you will be very pleased with this make up setin the end i would definitely recommend this so long as you understand this is not the ultimate fix all your problems find your prince do your taxes and make you smarter miracle in a bottle all foundations claim to be but instead a quality make up that will give you good coverage
