great foundation...I am a fair skintone with slight redness with no acne and this was a very good medium coverage foundation.

I would recommend, lasted all day :)

like it should classify as a medium shade…not light. the shades matches are horrible but the actual formula is very nice and doesn’t feel silicone-y at all, but definitely make sure you shade match IN store...It’s very watery when applying and I would say it has more of a medium coverage. It is super lightweight and the colour match was great.
