My experience: I used this product after I had washed my face with my face scrub. I found it very easy to blend. It managed to cover up most of my blemishes as well as any redness I had in my cheek area. I used around one pump of this product and that managed to give me enough coverage. I have the product in 120 Classic Ivory.

Pro's

• Comes in 10 different shades
• Good even coverage
• More yellow tones so it fits well with fake tan
• Feels very light on the skin
• Build-able
• Can be used if you want a thin coverage
• Good price
• Blends very easily

Con's

• Can leave skin feeling a little oily

Would I recommend this product: YES! It is such a fantastic product. For me it's probably the best foundation I have used to date! Easy to use, good coverage and it's a really reasonable price. The best thing about this product is that there are also powders and concealers in this range so it's very easy to buy them in a shade to match the foundation. It's really easy to also find a foundation to match your skin tone due to the fact there are 10 shades. I myself have pale skin and usually finding a foundation to match can either result in it being too dark or too light, but with this foundation, I have found it to match my skin tone perfectly! It has definitely been my holy grail foundation for nearly a year now and I am in love with this product!

My experience: I bought this after seeing a lot of advertisements for it both on the TV, magazines as well as seeing ads on the internet for it. I got it in the shade Ivory. When buying this product, the price seemed reasonable for what it was and I usually spend between £7 and £10 on my foundations. When I tried it however, I was left disappointed. It was very hard to blend and left my skin feeling very heavy and oily. I tried setting with my powder but that did not help matters at all and it still did not sit very well at all on my face. It did an average job at hiding some of my blemishes but not all of them. 

Thoughts:

• Left skin feeling heavy
• Skin felt greasy
• Did not blend well
• Did not cover blemishes

Would I recommend: 1/5 I would not recommend this as a foundation at all. It left my skin feeling very greasy and did not blend well at all. It was very thick in consistency and I just did not enjoy using this product at all. As a concealer, it works much better as it is thick and is easier to blend out of you use the tiniest amount, other wise, would not recommend at all.
