First off, I love Essence. As in I'm a big fan. Especially of their mascaras and nail polishes. But this foundation is the worst I have ever tried. The lightest shade was VERY orange on me. I had to t...Read more

I could not resist trying this base, as I like a lot of Essence’s products. This product, unfortunately, did not work so well for me. Firstly, I found it difficult to find a colour that suited me. My ...Read more

Does not stay for 16hours not even for 2 hours. The color becomes orange in 20 minutes because the product oxidizes very quickly.
