I have been buying this for years, there was a time that I wore this ever day. That was long before the pump was added to the bottle. The formula has changed a few times now over the years and with it's current formula, this is not my HG foundation anymore. It IS my HG skintone match however, Buff 150, I am neutral-warm, slightly yellow but pale and nothing has ever matched me as well as Buff. I do use it whenever I am looking up swatches to help compare other foundations before I buy them.
I have dry skin but get a bit oily because of anxiety so I usually go for more mattifying foundations so that they will last throughout my entire day when I sweat. This current formula does not last even half a day before settling into lines and becoming shiny even when I use powder under and over the foundation, and a mattifying primer. I have not tried this with setting spray, that is something I am planning on doing in the future.
After reading all the good reviews thought I would go buy me a bottle. Expensive! Terrible colour choices, I found most we're pink based and I have warm skin so color matching was hard, didn't help when the beauty consultant matched me totally wrong lol my silly fault though. But I did purchase Australis lightening drops which helped a little but now colour looks too grey. Anyway as for staying power on hot days doesn't stay put. So I'm still on the hunt for the perfect foundation.
