I have quite dry skin and found that this foundation gave me a luminous glow that I can not achieve with out copious amounts of highlighter. I think the coverage is great and the ability to build this from a medium coverage to a fuller one is also really helpful. The shade selection is great and i have had no problem with flash back due to the added SPF in the product.

I love this foundation. For a drugstore price it offers great coverage, lovely finish, nice texture and a glowy dewy look which I really love. Smells fresh too. The shimmer is there but isn't too much - probably notice it more in summer with the sun, but I don't mind that. Easy to apply - the pump allows you to apply less than a full pump unlike other brands where the pump is so stiff you end up getting a full pump whether you like it or not. Makeup in general does not last well on my skin, but with primer this will last a full 8 hour work day.
Tips: Goes on great with fingers or a foundation brush - I use the real techniques expert face brush to really buff the product in.
I have been using this foundation for over a year and do not think I could live without it! It does definitely have a bit of shimmer which is noticeable mostly in bright light. Because of this, matte foundation lovers may not like this! The shimmer definitely helps you look 'more awake' and it has a good light-medium coverage and does not feel thick on your face. I also found the colour range really good - I am able to find a colour that matches me both in summer and in winter! The best thing is that this foundation definitely won't break the bank and is great quality if you are looking for a low-end foundation :)
I was really impressed with the colour I purchased, it was almost perfect! Unfortunately every time I wore it my skin just looked like an oil slick had hit it. It's quite a thick product which was good for coverage but I just couldn't get over the shiny finish. Can't imagine it would be buildable either, although I didn't give it a go.
Tips: Don't use if you have oily skin.
I have the soft beige colour and use this as my everyday foundation, whether it's at school or going out and I love it! It has great coverage and evens out your skin tone, and I will definitely be buying it again. It's also SPF15 and smells amazing!
Tips: Apply a small amount of moisturised before using
I'm not currently using this foundation but I was until had a dry spell in Kmart and the Warehouse and ran out of my color! I will be purchasing this again for sure!! It is as many people say, a little shimmery and I can understand how some people who prefer a more matte finish wouldn't be too thrilled with it. I love a dewy finish and this foundation knocks it on the head! It's a medium coverage foundation but I found it can be easy to build up. It also photographs really well, brings a lot of beautiful light to your features.
I have found though, that in winter when I am at my palest the lightest color is a little orange for me and requires a LOT of blending. It really does make you look like you're glowing though and than gets a 5/5 from me!
I found this far to shimmery for me, it offered a medium coverage and looked nice but as soon as it caught the light I'd cringe as it looked like I'd been sprinkled with glitter. Saying that my younger sister loves it and it looks great on her, I do see shimmer on her but I'm guessing since she's younger she can pull it off! It's a real shame as I love the matching concealer.
i bought this for 10 dollars from kmart sale. was not too happy. i have better. the glowy-ness is absolutely great but as i have acne i need a more coverage. it does seem to be buildable, but i don't really want to have to pour out large quantities of this foundation just cause it's sheer. thank god only 10 dollars or i'd be pissed, especially since i have to use like 1/10 of the bottle just to get my face fully covered!
I loved this foundation (sadly have run out), made me look really awake and had (with concealer) just the right amount of coverage. Did what it said it would ,will definitely be repurchasing! :)
Tips: I have quite combo skin, so wouldn't recommend this foundation to people with really oily skin as it might look too dewy! And apply this with a stippiling brush
This was the first ever foundation I had ever tried due to recommendations from a friend who was in beauty school and I must say, I was not left disappointed. It gave my skin some glow with the very tiny tiny specs of sparkle. I have dry skin and I was worried that my skin would react to this but it didn't. The consistency is light, coverage is buildable without looking cakey. Love this foundation
