What has my experience with the product been like?
Pros:
-Consistency is really smooth, easy to blend and apply
-Lightweight
-Lightweight
-Good coverage
- Natural finish looks like skin, not makeup
Cons:
- Natural finish looks like skin, not makeup
Cons:
- shade is a bit too dark for me - it also appears that the shade range/names have been altered so if I wanted to replenish I'm really unsure what shade to get.
I'm going to start by saying that Influenster sent this to me last year and I'm unsure if I got something that was part of a prototype batch because the colors on sephora.com aren't undertone coded like this one is - I'd assume CR stood for "cool red" whereas the ones on sephora.com are simply 0-9 with half numbers included. I will say I received a lot of compliments on my skin when wearing this foundation but overall I'm not moved enough by its quality to think that it's worth its hefty price tag. Perhaps if I had a shade that better matched my skin I'd have a different opinion.
What do I use to apply the product?
