After using the ultra-thick and concealing Estee Lauder Double Wear for a year, this seems awfully sheer, but then, almost any foundation would. Winter has left my super-oily skin a bit drier, so this may work out well. The colors are neutral, the price, well you can't get much cheaper than that, the texture is light and pleasant (quite a liberating change from the mask-like Double Wear). Maybelline makes very nice foundations for the money, however I have to deduct a point for no UV protection. Perhaps that is how they keep the costs so low? If you want inexpensive, neutral toned, light to medium coverage and your skin errs neither on the extremely oily or dry side, I'd recommend this.
