On first try, I loved, loved this formula. It went on so creamy, the finish was semi-matte, the color was just like the other formulas of the same color name and the coverage was wonderful. After using the sample for only 2 days ordered a full size but I really should have waited to see what my skin really thought of it. Since this is a heavier coverage, it's great for people who want a heavier foundation BUT here's my warning: make sure when you wash your face, you wash it off very well because it will stick around and clog pores if you don't. I learned this the hard way.

 

Applying with a kabuki seemed to work best for me. Applying wet seemed to irritate my skin but I think my skin just doesn't like wet application in general. As the website says, you need to give it a few minutes to settle into the color so don't judge it by the initial application right away, it will look dark but it melts into the skin after a few minutes to the correct color.

 

I really wanted to love this formula for the days when my skin was acting up but it seems to just add to the problem with clogged pores. I'll stick with Elemental and Minimalist.
