Magical - natural yet skin perfecting

I was nervous about selecting my shade online, as I've heard some spotty things about the shade selection for this foundation. Alicia helped me via online chat and matched me perfectly. She was right in saying, "This foundation is very forgiving," as in, even if you don't get an EXACT match, it seems to blend really well and melt into the skin. As someone approaching her 30th bday, this formula is perfect for achieving a healthy skin glow. It even maintains the "glow" even if you set with powder! If you need a mattifying foundation - you won't find it here. It doesn't settle into any fine lines or break down throughout the day (even if I get a bit oily). Touches up easily with a light application of powder. I can apply with my fingers and get a tinted moisturizer/sheer coverage, or easily build it up with a foundation brush for a more flawless effect (medium/buildable coverage). I think for ladies with normal/combo/dry skin ages 30+, this is a beautiful foundation for day to night. I also love the size of the bottle! You are getting a bit more than you do in many standard foundations.

Long wearing

This product definitely is hyped up, so tread with caution. It is an extremely long wearing pencil - that is true. Wears even longer than my MAC pro longwear pencils. But it's not that unique of a shade and I do find it bleeds slightly if you're the type of person who presses your lips together often. However, it is a beautiful shade and since it's so long wearing, I definitely enjoy it. Just don't expect a lip injection effect.
