Great, but try before you buy

I really liked this foundation/ concealer immensely because it is a time saver and imparts a flawless finish. It can be used all over or just where you need it. You dot it in your problem areas and do a smal swipe in each area of your face for all over coverage.

It doesn’t make you face look gross. I highly suggest this f...read moreoundation for someone who wants a full coverage foundation, and/or likes to take pictures!
