I honestly didn't notice anything that would make this foundation better that any mass market product. It still slides even after applying powder and doesn't last that long as described. But for that cost it's explainable. And yeah, maybe it just doesn't fit my skin very well, everything is very personal

I bought alabaster because I have very pale skin but for the first time ever it was too light. I don't know if this happens with others but I'd recommend getting a shade darker as the pictures aren't very good. It wears well for a few hours but needed touching up after half a day of college which isn't ideal and also wouldn't say it sets matte, rather a light dewy, but not to dewy for my combination skin. I recommend this to anyone on a budget, great for the price and better than anything I've found in a drugstore although will definitely need to be paired with a powder of some sort. Also not incredibly high coverage. I have lots of freckles and they were still pretty clear with the foundation but it did do a good job at reducing my dark circles and and skin discoloration

For me, this is a perfect foundation. I found the exact colour that matched my skin tone. It's not full coverage but feels light on the skin. it feels nice and moisturising. It does streak a little when applied with a brush, but I use a blender. But when put it on it did not give a matte finish until I put baking powder on top of it. If you're going for a dewy, glossy look, by all means, use it, because it's perfect for that. But if you're going for matte and light, make sure to use baking powder.

I absolutely love the foundation for myself and I don't have many blemishes or breakouts so it covers like a dream, I tend to coat with 2 layers but I tend to do that with all my foundations, perfect for my skin for everyday use! The only thing I'd change is the dewiness of the foundation as it's supposed to be matte but apart from that, I love it! Definitely not heavy on the skin! But also depends on what skin type you are (dry, oily, combo). This will be my 3rd or 4th purchase on this product and will definitely look into trying the foundation drops!

I used it a couple times and I just hated it. I've got combination skin so I was looking for something between moisturising but yet mattifying in t-zone so it seemed perfect. Does none of that. My skin in t-zone was looking so shiny but you could also see the dry patches... Oxidises a bit too. I looooved the HD foundation, but you should expect it comparing the prices. Tbh not even worth 3 stars.
