I hate feeling like I'm wearing foundation, so I'd only been using powder since I started wearing makeup as a teen. With all the new formulas of foundation coming out, I decided to give liquid foundation a try. I bought a few different products and wasn't impressed with how they looked or felt on my face. I found this foundation at a drug store, and decided to give it a go, since it looked like a light serum and had zinc for the spf. I was very impressed! It feels so light, dries matte but doesn't dry me out, and evens out my skin tone just enough. I'm prone to breakouts, and it hasn't betrayed me. I use ELF's blemish control primer prior to applying this foundation. I ordered my next bottle on amazon, because it's cheaper here than anywhere else I've seen it. The first bottle lasted me about four months.TLDR; If you're looking for full coverage, this isn't the right product for you, but if you need just a little help and don't want to dedicate much time to your makeup routine, this is your guy.

Smooth, silky liquid and almost none of it. It spreads like a dream and blurs lines and pores beautifully. I hope it offers good sun protection and the "serum" heals my skin. There is almost no coverage of discoloration or sun damage upon application and less as the day goes on, but my pores still look good. My fine eye lines are smoother. I like it. Definitely worth it if it protects and heals.

I bought this, in Fair/Light, from Amazon in 2017, and have since used it up. I had previously bought and used up one from Target. It’s lightly moisturizing, which was just right for my oily skin. It has SPF 25, which is good, but now I need SPF 30 or higher. The amount of pigment is so sheer that having an exact match was less important, and it blended well with my skin tone. On me, this sheer coverage wasn’t enough, because my all-over ruddiness and dark under eye circles were still obvious. Pluses for me were that it uses all-mineral sunscreen and has no fragrance, so no skin irritation. Another plus is the amazing value. Cosmetically, it’s as good as a high-end product.

This foundation is very "liquid" and provides easy, sheer coverage. I use a blender sponge which I find works best for me. You can build it up but you need to use 2-4 sheer layers. Don't put too much on at once. It is my favorite daytime foundation and works for the "no make-up" look.

Edited:With the heat here in the triple digits now this is not staying on as well as I had hoped. I don't have oily skin so it's pretty disappointing.The coverage is very light but it helps to even my skin. The colors are pretty true and don't oxidize. It seemed very runny but you have to literally shake it to death then it has a better consistency. I'll continue to buy it.
