good for summer!...This is my new favorite, for summer. It may get too dry in winter; we'll see....Lightweight foundation with decent coverage. I returned it because it made my skin look unnaturally shiny and oily with the “radiant” glow - I prefer a more natural matte look.

My only caveat is that it’s so hot and humid where I am that it’s a bit too heavy for summer use, but hopefully I can get more wear out of it in fall!...My first fancy foundation!...Pros: goes on smooth, feels very light, so no heaviness that I often experience with foundations. The only con is the shade I received turned out to be too light — for summer.

Lightweight foundation...This is a lightweight foundation that lasts all day. It’s a thinner formula but I like that it is buildable. ...Summer foundation...It’s a good everyday foundation for summer but would be better if it has spf.
