This is a nice light and dewy foundation. It's great on the days where my skin is behaving, but not when I have a messy breakout. It goes on really easily (no primer needed), and has spf 20 which is great. I'm sure it'll be a staple product in a few months when the weather gets warmer and my breakouts disappear..

I got it in Veil and wear mac nc20 and JI warm silk. I purchased it from ebay ($35 CAD total) since sephora wanted $50 CAD...

It is a great product, isn't? I definitely feel that it is more like a foundation than a tinted moisturizer. I also love that it doesn't break my acne prone skin out either. I also find that people can find a match in more than one shades since all the shades are so forgiving and seem to just "meld" into the skin. I do find that it is sometimes *too dewy* for my very oily skin, but it's nothing that my Clean and Clear Blotting Papers and MAC Blot Powder can take care of.

I love this as well! It's a really great foundation, more of a tinted moisturiser actually, but I am getting a bit bored with it Embarassed It's time to try something new (Dr Hauschka?) before I get back to this one, but I am pretty sure that I will be repurchasing Smile

p.s. I'm a MAC NW20 and I think I also got the Veil shade (can't read it anymore because the little label has worn off Mad)

tinted moisturizer...foundation...hmmm, I'm on the fence on that. It's more coverage than other TM, but I'm not sure it's enough to classify as a foundation.

whichever it is I like it and will keep using it on all my good skin days

I know what you mean, I keep saying it's more like a TM because they call it a foundation but I wouldn't classify it as such. I think it's fair to say that it's between a TM and foundation. Whatever it is - it's good Smile

I'm also on the fence about whether it's really a foundation or Tinted moisturizer! :P Like you, it's great on "good skin" days since it doesn't really cover up my acne scars very well.

know what you mean. I'm having the breakout from hell right now. I dunno what's going on, I never get them on my forehead, but it's covered right now..

Anyways, had to go back to my heavy foundation and that's not helping cover it up either.

I tried this product in Veil, and I thought it was lovely! But I got a break out from it after one day, and I haven't had any of those in a long time. I've been afraid to try again since then....

maybe i'll avoid using it for a few weeks and see if that's it. I'm pretty sure it's a hormone thing. Seems like 2-3 times a year I get one nasty nasty mess around that time of month.
