The formula contains hyaluronic acid and black rose oil - to boost and maintain skin hydration; and bamboo powder - to absorb shine all day long as well as combines high-affinity skin powders and coated pigments with a high-performance polymer technology that lets the skin breathe while delivering all day wear that won't budge, fade or sweat off for up to 24 hours.
First off I love that it dispenses from a pump bottle, I am of the firm belief that all foundations should come in a pump, it really is the easiest way to control how much you use! I am also pleased that it was so easy to find a shade light enough for me - they also seem to have a good selection of darker shades which I also understand to be difficult to find a good selection of in many brands.
The price... well $88 ain't cheap but I do maintain that if there is one thing to spend your money on when it comes to makeup, it's foundation - it's the literal base of your whole look and great foundation will look like you aren't wearing any and have flawless skin - bad foundation will just look like you are wearing bad foundation and nobody wants that.
A few things to keep in mind: when they say full coverage it's no joke, if you are looking for something sheer this is not the formula for you! Also, they recommend using one pump per application but honestly unless you have a giant face, you won't need that much - a little goes a long way and I am able to cover my whole face with half a pump. A tip: if you like to switch things up and sometimes want a sheerer look without having to keep multiple foundations on hand, just mix a tiny bit with your moisturizer for a tint that will help even things out. And finally, there is a scent to the product - I quite like scented products but I know that some people don't or are sensitive to them so keep that in mind!
