A foundation with the most Maximum Cover is a little frightening to me since from my previous experiences these sorta foundations has always been on the heavier side. It would leave me with a major caked up looking face. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about! But to my surprise it delivered full coverage without the cakeyness!! It gave me an almost barbie doll like complexion, absoloutely 100% flawless!! Seems to be too good to be true? Well it was slightly..

However this foundation has the tendency to oxidize! When fully settled it will slightly turn orangey on my skin. Another thing to consider is that this foundation takes a lot of work to look fully natural. Some form of blusher and slight bronzer/powder may be needed to avoid looking dull, as it makes skin all one tone. It also has little oil control, in fact I found it made me a little oilier than usual, maybe because its so heavy my pores were fighting against it with my natural oils!

PROS

• Full coverage, I mean REALLY full coverage (but does not look mask like or like you are wearing lots of makeup).

• Anyone who is insecure about dark circles, spots, scars, pigmentation problems, etc, this foundation is a wonderful product for you.

• Works as a concealer and foundation, so no need to bother with an extra concealer.

• A tiny bit goes a long way.

• Is breathable and feels light.

• Long lasting, water and sweat resistant (wanted such a thing so much).

• Can be applied with fingers or brush easily, both work fine.

• Contains SPF 15.

• Provides medium to heavy coverage.

• Their claim that it is developed in collaboration with surgeons and dermatologists – seems promising.

• Boon for oily skinned.

CONS

• Needs a good makeup remover for sure. Got to make sure you really cleanse your skin after taking this stuff off, since it is water-resistant (which is also a pro).

• Needs moisturizer for dry skinned.

• It can transfer (advertised as non-transferring) onto clothing.
