This is a great foundation with a excellent coverage. I've been using this for years and started using it to cover my pigmentation. You must just ensure that your skin has been properly moisturised and that the moisturiser has absorbed nicely before applying, otherwise, it tends to gather into your fine lines and wrinkles. Once you get this right, its creamy texture glides on smoothly. The Estee Lauder make-up brush (slightly dampened) or a high-quality make-up sponge helps smooth it out over your face. It has never clogged my pores or caused any spots. They have quite a range of colours and mine is perfect with my skin tone. It's not necessary to put powder over this, as it is fairly long lasting and if you do, it may give it a very powdery look - which is not great for dehydrated/dry skins. Overall a great product and lasts me about 6 months.
