Good products

I bought this set because I wanted the shade 8 and the standalone product was sold out and they only had these sets left. Happy accident. I didn't think the puff would do much because in my head, I kept thinking of the laura mercier puffs... but the WG puff is so much more. For one, it is much heftier with some weight to it and it really helps to smooth on the foundation. I will purchase more of these... The foundation spreads well and being in my mid-50s, texture was what I was particularly concerned about. I think it's possible to put on too much too quickly, so less is more. One layer and step back before you go for for the next layer. It goes on easily and as such, is easy to go a bit crazy with it. Had no issues with powder or cream products on top and it lasted all day. The only item in this set that I am ambivalent about is the weightless powder because it was OK going on and I didn't think it was really that ground-breaking. Nice powder but nothing to write home about.

Effortless - blurs and perfects

The consistency was thin and not like a cream foundation. I used my fingers to apply. I didn't use the scoop/spatula because I thought a glob if it would be too goopy. I used 3 fingers and spread it around my face before I blended it in. It was easy. I was worried that it would be too oily/greasy because that's how it felt going on. But after all, it dried down a bit. I tried it with a brush on the other side and I think fingers is better. I also used it under my eyes. I don't recommend it for under-eye concealing because I think it doesn't have enough coverage but for a no-makeup makeup day, it works well. Had no trouble with powder blush/bronzer/highlight or cream ones either. 5 star. I will purchase the universal shade and maybe even a darker shade for bronzing.
