After going all out to find a powder foundation, I had been hearing about this and had been dying to try this out. I received this from a generous icompact member (thank you thank you thank you!!!) and I really like it a lot. It's not something I would wear during the day b/c in the sunlight, the light-reflecting particles are VERY noticable. Other than in those circumstances, it does give a very etherreal look and is very smooth textured. It's stopped me from shunning liquid foundation :) One thing, is that this does not give very much coverage, it simply evens out your skintone. The shimmer does seem a little pink, but I am asian with a lot of yellow tones, and it does not look unnatural on the skin. Probably because this is so sheer. Also it is not long lasting, just average. The foundation itself is not matte, textured, so if you have oily-shiny skin I would recommend a mattifier underneath, which is what I do. I also like to dust some studiofix powder plus lightly on my nose and forehead to counter the shimmery shine and the oily shine that will appear in a few hours. This did not break me out but I do not really have that problem to begin with. I would definately wear this at night to a party or social function.
