*My Opinion: Gives a nice flawless yet natural finish. My skin is dry in the winter & oily in the summer. Usually, depending on what foundation (or if I skip foundation) I use, I have to blot 3 times a day! With this (& the Revlon Colorstay as well) I had to blot less. I blotted 1-2 times and used the same blotting paper each time. There wasn't much oil on the sheet at all when I blotted. That's definitely a plus (considering how that my blotting sheet is usually completely full). This is pretty matte & is good at controlling oil (same at the Colorstay for Combo/Oily skin). In my personal opinion, I don't find this heavy or uncomfortable at all. I can't even feel that I have this on, which is a huge plus. It held up well today in the heat. I didn't melt off or feel uncomfortable (a problem that I had with the MAC Pro Longwear & the MUFE HD foundations). Many reviews have said that this is heavy coverage & that is feels heavy. I don't find it heavy at all, but maybe that's because of the way that I apply this. I don't use much. I apply a small amount (one small pump) to my forehead, cheeks, nose, & chin and blend with my fingers. I've watched many gurus apply this with a foundation brush & really use ALOT (2-3 pumps). This can be built up too which is a plus. Overall, it's a nice medium-full coverage foundation. I recommend it for someone looking for medium/full natural yet flawless coverage that holds up well throughout the day and that doesn't feel heavy. *
