This is a foundation that's not new to buy, but it was new to me. I've been wanting to buy if for awhile and every time I remember to pick it up, they would be out of my shade, so where I finally remembered and saw my shade I picked it up. I had heard good and bad things about this foundation, so I couldn't wait to try it and see what it was like on my skin.
To start off, it might be important to know that I have a light to medium skin tone, with neutral undertones, my skin is very oily in my T-zone and normal everywhere else. So with that being said, remember that every skin will react differently to different foundations.

The first time I used it, I used E.L.F. Mineral Face Primer as my base.

I thought I might have to touch it up through out the day, but I didn't think it would be that soon. I mean an hour an a half, really? So I blotted, powdered and went in to work. I then checked my face at 11:30 am and i was oily again, but this time you could see ever pore in my T-zone. I looked awful and it wasn't even noon. I continued to check my face every few hours (6 times total) and found it always looked the same, oily, pores galore, and starting to go patchy. I couldn't wait to get home and wash my face. The outer portion of my face looked fine and did well for the most part of the day, I only had to touch it up 2
