LOVE

I've been using this to bake my The Ordinary serum foundation and the combination of the two is magical. My face looks the same after a 9 hour work day and 2 hours of commute as it did when I put it on in the morning, and it prevents products from oxidizing on me. This is hands down one of the best powders I've ever used, as well as one of the least expensive. If you're looking for something that works for a great price, definitely give this a try!

Comparable to higher end

I'm really enjoying this foundation, especially for the price. I prefer thinner formulas and Urban Decay's Naked foundation has been my go-to since it came out because of how it applies and lasts on my skin. When I bought this, I was looking for something that's a better colour match (the UD is about half a shade too dark but I can make it work with powder) and a better price. This is definitely a better colour match upon initial application and actually provides decent coverage considering how thin the formula is. I don't have a ton of issues to cover, mainly uneven skin tone, so applying this over a green colour-correcting primer is enough coverage for me.

I do find it tends to oxidize a smidge throughout the day and can make my nose a little oilier than normal, but this can be alleviated by baking my foundation with setting powder. Considering I can get the same results from a $7 powder and $7 foundation with just a couple minutes extra to bake that I can get with a $50 foundation, I'm pretty impressed.
