I just love this foundation! If you can find a color-match that is. The colors are quite limited for this - Fred Meyer only carries 4 shades and I believe Ulta carries 6 shades. This comes as a refill and you buy the compact for it separately, although it is possible to just buy the and use it without the compact, which is what I did while I was deciding if it would work for me.

The first time I tried this I bought Porcelain, which is not a match and it looked terrible on me. I thought it was the foundation itself, not the color because the hue was wrong, but not glaringly so, so it didn't register that it was the wrong color, so I threw it out. A month or so ago, I bought it again in Ivory because I wanted something with sunscreen that wouldn't irritate my super-sensitive skin and this is recommended for rosacea. This time around, I LOVE IT! Doesn't irritate my skin at all, comfortable, very blendable and buildable coverage - apply it sparingly though or else it will look like a mask - you can get complete coverage with this. I like sheer coverage, so I apply very very sparingly and it looks great! Waterproof, yet washes off eaisily, flawless coverage - although oilier skins might want a more matte finish. I follow up with a bit of powder applied with a brush and it gives a nice glowy effect. This stuff really holds up. Love it!
