What The brand says: This creamy formulation provides a sheer to full coverage, may be worn everyday or used for that fabulous wedding day makeup, and even on camera. Our crème foundation is perfect for creating a flawless complexion, it is the ultimate in coverage and can be used for any occasion, excellent for photography. Suitable for all skin types.
Wear time (with/without primer): I was really worried about weartime, being an oil based foundation and my combination skin, but I needn't have worried. It held up well throughout the day, even without primer.

17 shades
Controllable coverage level

Cons: Oil based
American based
Packaging

Oxidation: None

Any Other Information: This would work great for highlighting and contouring in the appropriate shades. This foundation does have a scent, a cross between baby powder and baby oil, not unpleasant and dissipates once on the face.
Conclusion: This foundation gives a beautiful flawless finish, I applied with a damp beauty blender and buffing brush and got great results each time. You can control the coverage, but even at full coverage it doesn't look cakey or heavy. Check it out here.
