THE FORMULA AND PERFORMANCE:The texture of the foundation is smooth.It is slightly thick but blends well and sinks into the skin without leaving any patches behind.It  is lightweight and very comfortable on skin.The foundation settles to a matte finish.It provides light to medium coverage while evening out my face and brightening it.Minor skin issues are concealed with a second layer but major skin problems like pigmentation and acne need extra concealing.

The matte effect stays for about 2-3 hours on my face after while I can see my T-zone shiny.It never broke me out neither does it clog pores.The foundation is good for oily skin and you can always apply some compact after few hours.However,I found that this does transfer to other objects(cellphone) if you sweat.

RATING:3.5/5

RECOMMENDATION:I like the formula and the feel.The shade is a great match for my skin and it brightens up my face.However,the staying power is low and it transfers to other objects.I suggest trying this out if you are looking for a medium coverage foundation in matte finish on a budget!!
