I was looking for a really affordable foundation to see me through until I could buy my normal foundation that I use and didn't want to spend over R100.00 so when I heard about the essence all about matt foundation I thought this would be a good buy. I tested the foundation in clicks and didn't think it was bad at all considering the price. Once I purchased the foundation and tried and tested it at home I was however a bit disappointed. The coverage was not great at all but it did keep my skin shine free for almost the whole day so that is a plus point. Its really not such a bad foundation when you look at the price of it but I love my original foundation and nothing really comes close, this foundation will be great to have as a back up if I run out but I'm not totally in love with it.All in all if you're running low and don't want to spend to much on foundation this is not bad at all but if you can afford a little more I would suggest a loreal foundation instead.
