  Pros

  It's excellent when reapplied 3-4 hours after initial makeup application. Gives a fresh, matte appearance.

  Cons

  The texture is incredibly smooth. It feels best when applied with hands compared to other methods.

  Tip

  Hands, hands, hands!!!

  Pros

  While it's a thinner formula compared to Remarkable, it's not lacking in coverage. I'd say it's medium-high if we're rating it on a scale. Despite being thin, it has an incredibly powdery finish, so you'll need a good base to avoid dryness. The powdery finish contributes to its excellent staying power - it lasted about 8 hours without touch-ups. Given the long wear time, as someone with combination dehydrated skin, I noticed a bit of oil buildup around my nose, but gently patting it out fixed the issue. Its pore-covering ability was impressive too. As it wore off, it developed a slight glow and broke down beautifully, naturally filling in pores. Color-wise, when I used NARS All Day Luminous Foundation in Siberia, it was a bit dark for me. MAC Mineralize Foundation in NC15 was a perfect match. I was torn between shade 10 and 14, but I think 14 would have been slightly dark for me.

  Cons

  Since using this, I feel like my pores are gradually getting larger. After removing my makeup, my face feels hot, pores seem to open up, and I've been getting blemishes around my nose area. I'm not sure what's causing it. Compared to other foundations I've used, this one has better ingredients, but I wonder if it's because dimethicone is high on the list. It really evens out the complexion and gives you that 'honey skin' look, but since using it, my pores and redness have become unmanageable. I thought I'd finally found a foundation I really liked, but sadly, I've decided to stop using it. Oh, and you need to exfoliate thoroughly - this formula tends to highlight dead skin cells.
