Upon first application the shade was a perfect match and I liked how it made my skin look satin and beautiful. Definitely not matte (it does claim to be matte). I Love dewy foundations so I didn’t mind.

I do have dry skin and as the day progressed I noticed it did not sit well on the skin. It emphasizes all my pores and fine lines on my forehead and smile lines. I didn’t mind putting powder over it but I still didn’t expect it to be as greasy as it was on my face (especially because I have extra dry skin. I made sure to use it for a week straight with both a brush and a sponge alternating days. I find that it looks a bit better on my skin with a sponge. I also made sure to not use a primer the first few times so I could allow the foundation to truly show. The staying power was great- it stayed on for a very long time even though I did not like how my skin looked. It’s definitely not a full coverage foundation for me. It’s light to medium and you can build it up.

It would be an amazing everyday foundation for beginners and mostly young girls who have no fine lines and don’t have as dry skin as I do. Definitely a great product for some and I respect and love Avon as a brand. The product just didn’t work for me but it doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. A lot of beauty bloggers loved it and that’s great! The bronzing pearls are amazing!
