This is a truly wonderful foundation. I have yet to find another oil-free one (I have tried Laura Mercier and I became a huge Zit factory) that does not make me break out, stays matte ALL DAY (and I do mean all day--even to the point where it is ridiculous how matte my face is!), and does not look like a mask. I prefer to apply this with a foundation brush, and to use it very sparingly. This new line of foundation is very yellow-based, but most skin types should be able to find a good match. Pricey, yes, but worth it!
