I got a sample of this foundation while on vacation. My skin was terrible at the time! Red, flaky and patchy. I saw that the consistency of this foundation was gel like and I thought it would be better than other drying foundations. This is just wonderful! It smooths out your skin while providing moisture and tightness relieve. Lasts the whole day and gives your skin a glow! This is the only full coverage foundation that I use! I don't use concealer with this! I gave the price 5 stars even though it is expensive it lasts really long. Dry skinned girls, your search is over!
