My dermatologist recommended this product (well she recommended the Chanel foundation which was R200 more!) and as a good patient, I went out and bought it.

The Smashbox lady was quite difficult to get a hold of but I eventually did. She applied this product and although it makes me look a bit orange - it gave a nice, natural look and the foundation felt good and not heavy on my skin.

The day I tested it, I could see that it did not give great coverage on blemishes. The sales lady insisted that the foundation can be easily built up to give coverage. I have sometimes applied layers and layers of this stuff and it still does not give a good coverage so I have been very dissapoined with this product.


I think this product is great if you have little to cover up. However, if you do need coverage - do not bother with this or make sure you get a good concealer. It will not cover up blemishes or pimples.
