But let's address those big claims: "transfer-proof, waterproof, and heat resistant."

Long Lasting Foundations
“It's amazing, but I figure I'll just tell you the bad things I've experienced with it: 1.) Not very long-lasting. By lunch my face is shining. 2.) Under flash you become Casper. ”
Sweat Proof Foundation
“If you find your right shade, it will give you a natural clean look, kind of hides your enlarged pores and what I love about it is, having a sensitive skin, it has never given outbreaks to me unlike other foundations I've used. The only thing I wish they changed about the product is to make it transfer proof”
Transfer Proof Makeup
“This is super fool proof and easy to use. It did smudge a bit for me, but i loved how easy it was”
Cream Powder Foundations
“great powder foundation for a quick touch up & ready to go. love how light & smooth it feels”
Loose Powder Foundations
“You can’t go wrong with this powder. Loose powder that does not take away the dewy look of hydrating foundations”
Cream Compact Foundations
“First off, I agree with the mixed reviews. this foundation has a few quirks and it probably won't give you that Ultra high cover-12 matte finish. However, this is a cream compact, it's easy to carry, easy to apply with fingers, brushes, or sponges, quick to apply, and easy to use as touch-up”
Powder Foundations
“This is a lovely foundation. I use my Sephora Pro foundation brush to apply it in order to create a light-medium coverage. the foundation doesn't even move when I use my Pat McGrath Concealer 31 under my eyes (to brighten). in addition it does not love when I've used my Becca Ignited liquid highlighter and the Milk Cosmectics liquid blush shade Beyond. the coverage lasted about 6 hours. when I've went to one of my local Sephora stores I've received sooo many compliments. thank you Fashion Fair for catering to deep/dark skins tones in such a lovely way”
Dewy Foundations
“My skin looks flawless and luminous when I use this foundation. Dewy foundations can sometimes my combination skin look oily but not these drops”
Breathable Foundation
“The foundation feels heavy though (and not breathable) on the skin and for me it took a little elbow grease to blend in the skin”
Water-Based Foundation
“Overall, I am really enjoying using this foundation! That said, the packaging isn't great”
