So I've been reading a lot of recommendations about this foundation, I need a new foundation that has pretty good (medium-full) coverage. What are your thoughts on this foundation??

Hailey I'm surprised you purchase it since it clearly mentioned it's a product for dry skin and hydrates. It would be great to get feed back from someone that has used it on correct skin type to give a review on the finish. I hope you get some more feed back Lydia, just want to add that you may want to leave helpful info on what skin type you have. :)
Thank you Hailey for taking the time to comment. :)

I got a sample of it a couple days ago, I have severely dry skin and I loved it. It felt super hydrating and didn't cling to dry patches. Definitely medium full coverage but looks natural. I also got a sample of the concealer and it has really amazing coverage as well. My only issue and the reason I won't be buying it is because it doesn't come light enough to match me even on my summer tanned skin. I tried lightening it with a couple different white foundation mixes but it unfortunately is too oil based to mix well.

That's a bummer Alyx did you use a silicone adjuster? I don't believe the foundation is oil base. Thank you for feed back :)

I tried a water based and a silicone based white base and it just separated and wouldn't mix. :/ I just assumed it was oil based since I didn't have the actual bottle in front of me to check.

I purchased it when it first came out and I returned it the next day. It was just way too orange and dark for my pale skin and it just looked really fake. It was also matte and had a powder finish, which wasn't what I wanted.

I purchased this a while back and I love it! I do have drier skin so I know I'm the intended target audience. Blends well, gives great coverage and super hydrating. Also wears EXCELLENT throughout the day. I wore it for 12 hours on Monday and it didn't smudge, transfer, and my face didn't eat it. I just got a little oily. It also gives a super natural blowy finish on my skin, so much so I have been skipping applying a highlighter. My only complaint about this foundation is the color range. They don't go super deep, and I found that majority of the shades cater to people that have a pink undertone. I have a yellow undertone to my skin and I had to go a shade lighter than I would have to make it work, so I have been mixing it with L'Oreal true match foundation and it seems to be a good blend for me!

Thanks Stacie, I have kind of combinational skin, should I just add powder throughout the day on patches that get oily or..??
