What The brand says: This foundation is a true must have. When applied to skin, its unique creamy texture transforms into a silky powder with an impeccable matte finish. Its formula enriched with latest-generation matifying powders gets rid of sebum in a blink of an eye. The complexion looks smooth, radiant with a perfect velvety finish.

Its unique texture is very easy to apply with a sponge or a brush and is completely buildable, from a light powdery veil to complete coverage.

Wear time (with/without primer): This has great wear time on my skin, with and without primer, even a mattifying primer did not extend the wear time, my nose still got oily which is typical for me.

Price (ml): £29 for 0.28 oz

Conclusion: This is a really nice foundation, that's great for the warmer months, it has great wear time and a good shade range. It's buildable, but I think most will get good medium coverage out of this. It can be a bit stiff in the compact, so fingers might be needed to warm the product up for application.
