This is a nice foundation compact but not worth the price. It's a bit too drying as a foundation - it's better as a powder, so if you have combination or dry skin, best to moisturizer first.

This is a good foundation powder. The reason I will not buy it again is that I cannot find a good shade match. I have to say it applies and lasts much better with a primer underneath - no need to buy...Read more
