The first thing that surprised me was the incredible adhesion. 🫢 The skin coverage is unbelievable considering the price! I have a bright complexion, so I was torn between shades 91 and 92, and even considered using a darkening product, but the Pure Vanilla ended up looking slightly ashy on me. However, it should work well for those who prefer a more luminous finish. Depending on your skin condition, it applies thinly yet adheres seamlessly, creating a semi-matte effect without the need for powder. There's some unevenness in the T-zone, but it blurs it out nicely. I'd say the coverage is medium to high thanks to the formula. There's some creasing, but not to the point of flaking. If I had to compare it to a similar foundation, Freshian's Egg-like Foundation comes to mind. While there are pros and cons due to the many active ingredients and the formula, considering the unbeatable price-to-quality ratio, it's an excellent product.
ConsThe coverage is quite good and it builds up well, but due to the matte finish, the laugh lines seem a bit more pronounced, and if you don't apply the foundation properly or add extra concealer around the nose, it can look a bit cakey. It also seems to crease a bit faster than the other foundations I've used before. Everyone is different, but for me, the tightness started to be noticeable around the 3-hour mark, just based on my normal skin type. The very next day after using it, a blemish popped up right on cue. It's probably the prime suspect, unfortunately... Yes, the active ingredients are a bit disappointing. But for those with tough skin, this could be an amazingly cost-effective foundation.

I usually end up wasting thicker foundations, but this one's a game-changer. The staying power is impressive too!
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit dehydrating, and the fragrance is genuinely quite strong.
