It doesn't get greasy and while it's lightweight, it still provides great coverage (you can build it up for even more coverage). I tried it after a YouTuber highly recommended it, and it's become my holy grail foundation! For reference, I used the cashew color - I have a darker skin tone.
ConsDue to some questionable ingredients, I only use it occasionally. I've switched to a different foundation for regular use, but I still reach for this one when I'm in a hurry.
TipIf you're aiming for a matte complexion, be careful not to use heavy skincare products as they can diminish the matte effect. For best results, just apply a light emulsion followed by a matte primer - it works like a charm!

The coverage is excellent without feeling heavy. It's honestly one of the best foundations I've used in a long time - it's not overwhelming and feels great on the skin!
ConsThe price point isn't exactly budget-friendly, so you'll need to splurge a bit. But even so... it's worth it!

It's especially great for those with oily skin due to its matte finish. I've seen reviews saying the coverage isn't great, but since I don't have many blemishes or dark spots, I actually prefer that it applies thinly rather than thickly. After applying this product and finishing with powder, I was amazed that even though oil still came through (my T-zone is extremely oily), my makeup didn't break down - only the oil surfaced. It's super easy to touch up. I think this will work really well for the upcoming summer!
ConsFirst off, it might be too drying for those with dry skin, especially in winter. Even with my combination skin, my cheeks felt slightly dry in winter. And the price... it's a bit steep. I was lucky to get it on sale with an employee discount, but I might hesitate to buy it at full price. Also, since you need to shake it before use, I've read many reviews saying it erupts like a volcano when you open the cap. It wasn't that extreme for me - just a bit of product around the opening. Still, keep this in mind when purchasing.
TipIt definitely applies much better with a sponge. When I tried to apply it with my fingers, it left some texture on my skin.

I heard they use gentle ingredients overall, so I decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a great match for my skin! I've even heard people say their skin improved after using this. The glow it gives isn't overwhelming - should I say it's a 'rich' finish? The finish is both matte and glowy (contradictory, I know), which I absolutely love. It's the best skin-like finish I've experienced among all the foundations I've tried. It's hydrating and doesn't cake up, which is fantastic. I'd recommend this for those with sensitive skin, especially if you're dry or combination! However, even with a primer, the longevity isn't exceptional. I don't usually touch up my makeup, but by evening, it transfers easily with oil when I touch my face. The coverage is decent. For reference, I'm planning to repurchase!
ConsThe longevity seems to be a bit lacking, unfortunately. Also, if you're looking for high coverage, you might want to pass on this one!
TipMake sure to buy the Laura Mercier sponge to use with this foundation - it's really great! I'm planning to use this sponge even with other foundations because it's that good!

This foundation held up well even when I went to Hong Kong. I only needed to blot with oil-absorbing sheets, and my makeup stayed intact without breaking down.
ConsIt's quite technique-dependent. When I applied it with a sponge, if not done correctly, it didn't cover pores well. However, with the right application, it provides good coverage. Like other matte foundations (e.g. Double Wear), touch-ups are necessary throughout the day.
