long lasting and blurring for someone with moderate acne scarring. works well with combo and oily skin....The colour range (as usual) is fantastic and it’s nice and light weight but still provides a decent bit of coverage - I have some post acne hyperpigmentation and it definitely blurred some of it out.

I am only giving it 4 stars because it isn’t effective at covering my acne scarring and mostly just tones down any redness on my skin....It does not cover acne scarring or spots at all and is kind of hard to blend in, the colour i received was too orange for me as well.

Previously, I had used a heavier full coverage foundation.
