The foundation feels super lightweight on the skin, It applied nicely and easily I found it worked best with a mix of both a brush and a sponge to apply it (apply with brush and finish off with sponge). I found it difficult to apply at first but slowly got the hang of it as at first I was either spreading it too much around the skin or not enough and getting patches and streaks.
The foundation did have some creasing after I applied it, mainly around the eyes and nose which is usually standard for a lot of foundations and concealers if you don’t set them straight away, I usually don’t experience creasing with foundations however I did get a bit with this one but I’m sure it would be an easy fix with some heavy duty setting powder!
It is quite a buildable foundation however it creases and looks more cakey the more you build it up so best to keep it to one light layer to avoid it creasing on your skin and ruining the rest of your makeup. However it still looks nice built up as it is more of a full coverage finish.
The foundation has a strong perfume scent I thought it was quite strange as I’ve never really seen scented foundations however I quite liked it as I like my products to be scented it smelled super fresh and clean.
The foundation was a strong medium coverage I wouldn’t say it was full coverage or light coverage it was in between so perfect for those hot summer days where you want a decent amount of coverage but don’t want to be a cake face
Overall the foundation was nice however I just don’t think it suited my skin type or skin needs but I feel like it would work really well on drier skin types who prefer less than full Coverage and love a super lightweight feel too their foundation!

I needed a new foundation and decided to try this as there was a free sample online. I don’t normally get foundation online because the color has to be just right. I took a chance, and the color is perfect. The coverage is great — imperfections are minimalized and it looks very natural. I will buy it again!

Looks horrible on the skin, really hard to blend it. The coverage is very poor. Dries my skin out. I was so disappointed with this foundation. Gave it to my friend, but she doesn’t like it either.

I don't wear makeup much but I received this as a sample as I were curious and scared at the same time.
Curious - I wanted to see if, I put it in will it look like I have makeup on and how much would I need to apply.
Scared-will my skin break out, will my skin feel like it's suffering with this on, will my skin be more oilier than it is or worse. Because it's on my face will it come off on my hands as I touch my face, if I am aware there is something on it. Would my skin look ashy & grey once it is in.
Anyway I applied it and very shocked and happy that the application I needed was very little. It blended in with my complexion, nothing rubbed of and I didn't look like a caked faced oily clown! :)
I purchased a bottle and this will last me along time as this is applied for occasions only.

I was recommended this foundation by my sister. It is very light and has a beautiful natural finish that lasts the whole day. I managed to find just the right shade for my skin tone which is always a challenge for me. The price is also very reasonable. Quite happy overall.

I love this foundation, it applies easily, is buildable and lasts all day long. It’s natural looking and lightweight. I’m a fan of the larger size for a very good price too! My only negative is that I need a high adherence primer over my nose as it can look patchy: the only pace on my face that it does this which is weird but it’s well worth the little extra effort.

I really wanted to love this foundation and give it a 5* review but unfortunately it didn’t hit those expectations for me!! Being the same foundation Meghan Markle wore on her royal wedding, it looked flawless and I must admit it has a gorgeous build-able texture. It is more sheer but has a light weight feel which I love! It lasts all day and blends easily! However this product does contain alcohol which I found irritated my skin on application with a tingling sensation which I did not enjoy! Overall I prefer the Dior Star foundation for a dewy look without alcohol which can irritate skin!!
