Can't really go wrong
For the price this foundation is absolutely amazing. It covers all spots and imperfections, it can be a little cakey but it's fine blended well with a sponge.

Perfect for combination skin
I have combination skin - oily yet with some dry patches. Yet this foundation cooked perfectly with both aspects of my skin. Incredibly lightweight and moisturising on my dry patches but didn’t make my skin oilier and still gave a reasonably good coverage. The perfect base, this foundation is everything it’s cracked up to be. I would highly recommend to those wanting a lighter coverage, something natural or more dewy, or with combination skin.

Very good for the price
This foundation is perfect for people with normal/dry skin. The finish isn’t too matte or too dewy, very satin finish, and blends in nicely with concealers, cream contours etc. It doesn’t cling to dry patches and is very lightweight on your face, and medium coverage. If you are wanting 2.1 y, I definitely suggest go for 2.0 yg as 2.1 y oxidises terribly and ends up drying bright orange. 2.0 yg dries slightly darker but not orange toned, more of a gold tone and looks a lot prettier on the skin imo. This foundation is definitely worth a try, even if you are a bit iffy about it. I’ve read it’s not good for acne prone skin, but my skin is extremely dry and looks really nice and smooth on my skin. It’s a good dupe for the nars sheer glow foundation which used to be my everyday go-to, and an eighth of the price! Absolutely recommend trying it out.

Stay away
Stay away from this foundation if you have sensitive skin. My face broke out like crazy after using this foundation.

Terrible...
This is basically water with colour. It covers very little and disappears in minutes. Crucially the colour I got, 2.1 Y which is a medium looking yellow undertoned beige online is actually bright orange, to the point that it reminds me of foundations from 20 years ago. I didn't even know brands made shades like these anymore. Literally no one has that skin tone. Straight in the bin it went. At least it wasn't an expensive mistake.

Finally I’ve perfect base
I’ve bought in 3 shades and absolutely love it. It blends well, neutralises my pink undertone and lasts all day. Lovely glow too. Highly recommend and fantastic price.

It's pigment suspended in water
People, the thing you have to understand about this foundation is this: it's just pigment. Nothing more and nothing less. And the brand is straightforward about it. This foundation doesn't have it's own properties, IT TAKES THE PROPERTIES OF WHATEVER IS UNDERNEATH. It's not skincare, it's not a BB cream. If you want a moisturizing foundation or oil control - you have to look elsewhere. This is just pigment suspended in water. If you have dry patches it won't help, if you're oily - it will slide off. So you prime your skin according to your needs and then you apply this pigment, end of story. The result is great! As for the pigment itself - it's good. Medium coverage. Natural finish. I got 2.0 YG (I am Sephora colour IQ 2y07), it does have a tiny amount of highlighter visible only in incandescent light and if you look closely and thoroughly. So bottom line is if you want no fuss pigment with medium coverage that just deposits a layer of colour on top of your skincare - by all means get it.

nope
I had very high hopes for this foundation so I ordered 2 shades when my right shade was out of stock. I don't ever write negative reviews but I absolutely hate this foundation. I tried to make it work but everything I put on top of it looks like crap. I'm throwing it away.

... Just when I thought I had found the perfect everyday foundation
I purchased the shade 2.1 Y and when it arrived I was beyond excited to try it. I mean a foundation that was lightweight but gave me decent coverage and for next to nothing?! Bargain. The shade was a tad too yellow toned but still matched well and you really are met with a seamless looking base once you're done. I was so shocked. I found no gathering in smile lines, no disappearing half way through the day, no cakey finish. I really thought I'd found the one, and then I started to break out. Clusters of whiteheads started to form on my cheek but I dismissed it thinking it was just hormones, y'know monthly spots etc. (... a few weeks early), but it was not. I should have researched and realised it's not the best for acne prone skin. So heartbroken over this short love affair. In short: heaven for those who don't have acne prone skin. For those that do, if you're willing risk it, if not keep looking for the holy grail.
