What it claims:
Sweat Proof, Heat Proof, Humidity Proof and Transfer Proof for up to 25 hours
Enriched with a revitalising Mineral Complex and Moisturising Aqua Primer
Skin feels energised, hydrated and lightweight.
Quick about my skin
Just a quick fact sheet about my skin so that you can get a better idea how this will affect yours. I have dry, sometimes flakey, skin that foundation seems to cake on. I have large pores around my nose that foundation often sinks into. However, sometimes my t-zone does get oily, even though it is usually the driest area on my face. I get a few pimples, but my main problem is that I have redness. I have yellow undertones, but I’m actually a close neutral.
Packaging
I hate the tube. I manage to waste and it makes it hard to mix the formula in the tube, which is necessary as it separates. I wish it came in a bottle with a pump.
Consistency
The consistency of this foundation is watery. So much that sometimes when I open the tube it drips out. I prefer a thicker foundation, but it definitely lives up to its’ claim of being light weight. It feels moisturising and doesn’t highlight my dry patched.
Coverage/pigmentation
Despite the watery texture this is a medium coverage foundation that has the ability to be full coverage if you are careful not to make it cakey. It didn’t cover all the redness on my cheeks, as I found I still had to use a colour corrector and a concealer.
Finish
The finish is a semi-matte finish, which is surprising because I associated the moisturising component with a dewy finish. It doesn’t make me look flat. It does have a strange tacky feeling.
Lasting Power
The lasting power would probably be about 11 hours. I don’t think it is heat, humidity and sweat proof, and it is definitely not transfer proof.
Application
I found the best way to apply this product is with a brush. I used the Real Techniques Buffing brush. It sets quickly and becomes tacky, making it a but difficult to blend and work with.
Scent
It has a mild floral scent, which while I don’t notice, may upset sensitive skin.

This is $17.95 AU in Priceline stores.

Would I recommend
I would recommend this product as it is cheap and does a decent job for it’s price. I will probably use this foundation regularly, but I’m not sure I would repurchase as I probably would prefer to try different ones.
