The version of this foundation with the anti-spot benefits is basically the same. It is a lovely foundation and one I most often reach for. The consistency is very smooth and thick, but it does not look cakey when the right amount is applied. Once on the skin, it dries to a powdery finish, but not at all flat. I would even say that someone with dry skin would like this, as I have found that this is the only foundation that looks nice over my scars and break outs. The coverage is medium, but buildable. As for lasting power, I get a solid 6-7 hours out of it before it starts to fade and when it actually does fade, it goes evenly and not at all very noticeable. Overall, a great product with a price that can't be beaten. Btw...It does not break me out and I have super sensitive and acne prone skin.
