  Pros

  Application: It doesn't dry too quickly, so it doesn't leave marks. As a semi-matte product, the texture is thicker compared to other foundations. This makes it challenging to achieve a very thin skin-like finish, and it's noticeable that you're wearing makeup. However, it does feel like it adheres well to the face. Longevity: Thanks to its good adherence, the staying power isn't bad! But when it does break down, it's not pretty. It's a shame because Estée Lauder and Armani products break down so beautifully. Being semi-matte and thick, you can mix it with sunscreen or other foundations to suit the season, but there's not much you can do about the unattractive breakdown. However, if you touch up well during the day, the breakdown shouldn't be a big concern except in summer. Other advantages: The price is really reasonable, and with its excellent adherence, I think it's a great value-for-money product.

  Cons

  I've listed all the pros and cons in the advantages section! I just wish it could be applied a bit more thinly! While this might partly be due to my heavy-handed application, based on other reviews, it seems it genuinely doesn't apply thinly.

  Tip

  Try mixing it with different products to find the texture that works best for your skin. It's decent on its own, but isn't the fun of foundation in mixing and matching?

  Pros

  I'm still on the hunt for the perfect foundation. With my oily skin, makeup tends to fade quickly. Matte types often look patchy around my mouth, and while I don't want thick coverage, I still need to conceal quite a bit. It's a real struggle! However, this one seems to be the best I've tried so far. It doesn't cause any blemishes and hasn't turned greasy yet. You can consider it on the matte side. It finishes with a soft, powdery feel. If you're looking for something long-lasting like me, give this a try.

  Cons

  To be honest, finding the right color match can be tricky. The shade lighter than this is Porcelain, but it seemed too pale for me to even attempt. This shade is more like a natural #21 - it doesn't make you look super bright, perhaps because it has a slightly yellowish undertone.

  Tip

  I use this on its own without mixing it with anything else. It applies well with a puff. I usually dispense one pump onto the puff and then pat it onto my skin.
