Does this come in any other shade than the one pictured above?

This comes in 47 shades.

What's the coverage/consistency like?

I would describe the consistency as being a thin liquid. This has a medium to full coverage with a soft, natural yet glowing finish. 

Does this have any beneficial ingredients in it?

The highlighted ingredients are:

Hyaluronic Acid: Can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, helps skin retain moisture.

Aloe Leaf Juice: Has hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.

Is this scented?

This doesn't really have a very discernible scent to it.

What has my experience with the product been like?

Pros:

-Consistency is really smooth, easy to blend and apply
-Good coverage

- Finish looks like healthy skin

-Lightweight

-Really good shade match for me, doesn't oxidize 

Cons:

- I'm iffy about it because with the hot weather, it separates on my face.

I feel like this goes on smooth, it's incredibly easy to blend, it's buildable, it gives good coverage, it stays put, my skin looked and felt like skin.  It's luminous but not in a way where it's too much, it simply gives the skin a healthy glow. You know I've been stuck on my wet n wild photo focus Dewy Foundation for a long time and while I love it and the coverage it provides I feel like I can't get a shade that matches me just right because they oxidize on me. Initially, when I used this in the colder months, I really liked it but now that it's summer and hot out, I find that it does that thing where it defines each individual pore on my face even when I stipple it on and I'm not loving that about it. I'm unsure if it's because I'm sweating or the brush I'm using or what but I'll have to keep playing around with it and seeing if I'd like to buy it again. It's a shame because it is a really fantastic match for me and outside of it wanting to separate, I really love it. 

What do I use to apply the product?

I apply this with an unnamed big fluffy face brush.

I feel as though this review is pretty thorough but please let me know if you have any comments or questions.
