This foundation goes on really smooth and is quite easy to blend. It has about the coverage of my Almay SSC, but it is buildable. It is dermatologist tested, oil-free, and fragrance-free. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because there is a very limited amount of shades. I got Natural Buff which seemed like the lightest shade. It's a little too dark, but looks good with some blending. They also have Natural Beige(I think that's the name), True Beige, and Caramel. But there are definetly no colors for people with extremely pale skin and there is only one color for African American skin (Caramel). It looks great set with the NYC translucent loose powder on top. If you can find a good shade, then I would suggest giving this foundation a try!
