This is one of those foundation I think of, oh you're so good to me when I have a lunar landscape on my face again during my menstrual week. But why are you so expensive?! This foundation is really a topper if you have oily skin, have regular breakouts, coarse pores and hide acne scars. With me, the foundation stays in place all day when I use a primer underneath it, without having to update. I do notice that I really must have exfoliated my face to apply it nicely. It continues to have a powder/matte finish. But with a natural finish. I apply the foundation with a brush and distribute it pretty quickly over my face. This is because it changes from a liquid formula to a powder formula (so dries quickly). But I still blot my face with a damp beauty blender to put the foundation on it well. All in all, a very good foundation, but with an instruction manual!
