I have wanted to try this foundation for years! Every time I went into Sephora to pick it up there was always something else that caught my eye, and I felt that I could wait for another foundation. Finally, with my Sephora gift cards from Christmas, I made sure that this was on the top of my list. For someone who has crazy oily skin like I do, it really seemed like a no brainer to give it a shot.
The same weekend I picked this up, I also bought the new Rimmel Stay Matte foundation, which I mentioned in my review of that product. I was really contimplating taking this product back, and spending the money on something else, but I decided that was silly since I had waited so long to give it a try.
I was matched to the shade 30, and I was really scared that it was just the Sephora lighting, because I have never been anything but the lightest shade possible from any brand. I trusted the sales lady and went ahead and took it home for a try.
Number 1, this product does not oxidize on my skin at all! This is a wonderful plus for any and every foundation. The worst thing possible is going to work and looking in the mirror and realizing you look like an Oompa Loompa.
To my surprise, 30 was my perfect match, which made me realize the shade selection for this product is really quite impressive. I'm really not the palest there is, which makes me think, anyone lighter than me probably has a really hard time getting a foundation to match their skin tone. I am very impressed by the wide range of colors from this foundation.
Overall, it is a little pricey, $34, but really this is the average price of any high end foundation. If you are looking into a high end foundation, this is a wonderful choice. I can't say much for dry/combination skin, but for oily skin it's a great option.
Are there drugstore brands that compare? Yes and no. You really do pay for the quality. The longevity of this product does make the price worth it. Worth a shot!
