Price: USD 49/INR 3400 approximately for 30 ml.
My Skin Type: Normal to dry
Shade I Use: Barcelona and it matches me perfectly.
Shade Range: Available in 33 shades.
Texture: Semi-thick, creamy, and spreads easily.
Packaging: The packaging is lovely, comes in this long glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The bottle is not heavy to travel with.
Finish: Radiant and looks very skin-like.

Longevity: I have worn it for good 7-8 hours and even for shorter durations because I just happen to wear it so much these days. And it has always stayed on for all these hours without fading, creasing or caking. I however would have to warn you that you do have to set this foundation pretty well because this does not really set to a powdery finish. If you don’t set it, it can be very transferable. I however do set all my foundations pretty well so it is not a big deal for me, but that’s a deal breaker for some people so I thought I’d just mention.

Coverage: Medium to buildable. It can be built up to a pretty full coverage foundation.
Fragrance: None
Do I like It? I absolutely love this foundation; however, it has its own pros and cons. It does give that gorgeous flawless look to the skin without looking heavy or cakey. This foundation looks very natural, radiant and very polished. However, you do have to set it with a good amount of powder or else it is not completely transfer proof.

It is extremely long lasting. It has been my go-to foundation these days, especially in this hot-humid crazy weather because it does last long and gives your skin a lovely flawless look without that heaviness of foundation or anything on your skin. There have been days when I have had sweat on my face, but this foundation has not moved. I have literally just blotted my face with a tissue and my skin has just looked fresh. No fading or moving or rubbing off the foundation; that’s good. It has never broken me out.

The shades matches me perfectly, but I feel it starts to look more skin-like and sort of once you have worn it for good half an hour or so. I can’t really say that it oxidises on me, but I do feel that I can see a shade difference between when it is freshly applied and when I see it after a while. I would say that if you have oily skin, it could oxidise on you. Given a chance, I would pick a shade lighter. It could be that ‘skin-matching technology’ they mention in the claims that tries to match your foundation to your skin tone.

Does not settle in fine lines, does not accentuate the pores and does not feel dry on the skin. I would say for people with normal to oily skin, use it with a mattifying primer especially on the centre of your face. Because this is a radiant primer. And you want radiance only on the right places of your face.
