Light and breathable
I have tried countless foundations from all price brackets - and this one suits my skin and my budget! I have oily/combination skin and other foundations would always slide off during the day or break me out. This one is light and breathable but with a buildable coverage. Someone with normal/dry skin could probably use it alone but I always set mine with a light bit of powder on top.

Not ground-breaking
I really wanted to love this. But it seems to just cling to my dry skin and is incredibly watery. Obviously it does say it is light coverage but it is buildable. I don't hate it...I dont love it...but its definitely worth the price tag.

Love it!
Wanted something lighter than my usual foundation so thought I would give this a try, completely blown away by it! It's so light and silky on my skin but yet has really good coverage (better than my previous foundation which i paid £30 for) it looks really natural and non cakey, especially if used on top of the fluid primer. For the price it's so worth trying!

Met my expectations
I got this in the shade 2.0 N which was a perfect match (for reference I'm a C2 in Mac face & body). I thought this would be more dewy with less coverage but it dries semi-matte and gives plenty of coverage. My skin looks completely natural and normal in this foundation. I also thought the cap would break (because there is no lid) but it has a very sturdy lock. I can't believe it's so cheap. I'll definitely be repurchasing this.

Not for oily skin
This foundation is not for you when you have oily skin. I usually use primer and foundation but when I use this foundation I have to set my face with powder because it looks so shiny. But not the nice shiny look, more like....bacon. And it gets worse through the day. I was very disappointed and rather use my Huda Beauty or Urban Decay foundations. But as a plus for this foundation: great coverage.

Unreal foundation
This one topped my all time fave MAC face and body foundation which was my go to for a natural, sheer-medium dewy finish. It really does have a very subtle but buildable coverage, yet it really gets the job done. If a foundation can still make my skin look like my own skin but just more flawless (without heavy coverage, cakey and opaque look) I'm all in and this does exactly that. Has that skinlike dewiness to it but not to the point of looking greasy. Really recommend this to anyone who is more on the drier side (bearing in mind you use peeling, otherwise no foundation will look great).

Love this, it's lightweight, it looks and feels lovely.
I'm 52 and have sensitive skin. I usually use mineral powder foundation but lately, that's been feeling heavy and has been a bit drying so I thought I'd try this. I don't want a lot of coverage, I want my skin to look like skin so this stuff is perfect for everyday use. It's lightweight, melts into the skin and evens out the skin tone beautifully. I don't use much, I smooth it on with my fingers and go over it with a buffing brush. It lasts all day and is so inexpensive. I love it.

So bad
I was caught up in the hype and got so excited about this product. But it just looks terrible on the skin. I have regular to dry skin and it just looked so unnatural and uneven. I gave to my friend who has combination skin to try and she got the same results.

Amazing
I usually wear Younique Touch liquid in Velour - ordered this in 1.1N as I didn’t want to pay £35 again. This stuff is amazing! As good as younique and as for the price - I will be buying this in future. I have combination skin with a few fine lines (40+) and lots of freckles and a few dark spots. Used with the Ordinary Silicone Primer and it has stayed fresh and dewy looking with great coverage all day after applying with a brush. Very happy. I’ve ordered the Ordinary coverage foundation too, looking forward to giving that a go.
