Very good foundation with my dry skin, which I set with their powder. The foundation lasts me the whole day and even the few times I accidentally slept with it on, in the morning it still looked good😅 My only gripe with it is that the lightest shade, is still too dark for my skintone so I mix it with a concealer.
