Evens skin with a healthy glow. Sheer coverage although limited shade range. I mix two shades to get my shade. Easy to apply. Blends well with just fingers. However suitable only for dry skin types.

OK, so I have needed a foundation for a while now, minimal coverage, something to make my older dry skin glow without feeling like make up. This product is perfect, as is the Stila glow foundation and a few others. I cannot get or the other suitable foundations that I need at Sephora. They are always out of stock. So, I went to several other sites and decided to buy this and then Estee Day Wear Tint SPF moisturizer. I would rather spend my dollars at Sephora, as Sephora rarely lets me down but --- in the last 6 months, it seems just about every time I go to buy something that should be in stock (not a new release, a fad, etc), they have non in stock. I look for other brands, and not in stock. So what do do other than shop elsewhere. I am not sure what is going on but ......

I got a sample of this after hearing so much about it from the pixiwoo girls, despite their dry skin vs. my oil slick face. I wanted something with sheer to medium coverage & a natural finish. This actually does a great job of giving me both. I used MUFE Mattifying Primer before application. I used a brush to apply & buff it in. UD Naked Concealer to areas that needed a little extra help. Laura Mercier Translucent Powder to top, bc who am I kidding? I always need to powder. And Sephora Brand Pore Perfecting Primer Mist as a setting spray. This combo was PERFECT! My skin looked great, not caked with makeup. And I was able to keep the oil under control for a good 6hr, which is a win for me. Don't let the thick moisturizer-like texture put you off if you have oily skin. I did not experience any sensitivity issues with this product like some of the other reviewers. Glad I got a generous sample. Will be buying the full-size, despite its slightly hefty price tag. « less

I originally ordered a medium of this product. I loved it. I have very dry skin, I am 46 with minor lines and over all good skin. This product makes my skin dewy and I look several years younger, I really liked it very much. The only problem is that the medium is very dark, I wear sand in the perfectionist and shade 2 in double wear light. I really did not want to buy another shade since this is quite expensive but I ended up buying the light because on how much I liked the effect on my skin.Now I mix the two since the light is too light for me. Staying power is obviously lower than double wear, but on me, given my dry skin it last all work day and still looks good. Please Estee Lauder keep up the awesome foundations but increase the number of shades, there is a huge difference between light and medium. « less

This product made me look like I had used cheap self-tanning lotion! I am Caucasian of Mediterranean descent and consider myself a true Medium color. So I went with the medium, and was shocked when I applied. After so many good reviews, and trusting this brand, I was more than disappointed. It is very orange and fairly dark for a medium, causing a very noticeable line between face and neck even after I blended it in. It is not moist on application. I can't speak to wear as I immediately removed it in disgust. Perhaps it is better in the light color, but unless your skin is naturally orange I can't imagine the Medium matching anyone. I have never written a negative review, but feel users should get a heads up before wasting money on this product.
