One of the pricier PRO brands (compared to Ben Nye, Kryolan, Mehron and RCMA), but still better and more affordable overall than department store foundations. I use this as an alternative to...

I have quite dry, sensitive and acne prone skin (damn.) Okay, so for starters this foundation will cover anything. It is a full coverage foundation. It's thick and creamy but easy to blend. Smells...

I am NC20 and I purchased this in the smaller pot in shade 602-65. This reminds me of Cover FX and I feel that formulation-wise these two foundations are nearly identical, although I feel that the...

This is such an amazing product. I tried using it as a foundation, but it's too much for everyday. I can also cling on dry patches a bit. But as a corrector (I use a peachy shade number 605-61)...
