Swatches, How it looks on me and My opinion about the product
The texture of this foundation is creamy, silky...This is the best everyday foundation.gives the natural dewy finish and it stays for a long time too...One thing which I noticed is even though its mentioned fragrance free,It smells more or less like olive oil which fades away within few minutes of application....
It spreads easily and blends really well onto your skin giving ur skin the best possible natural look:) It hides the minor blemishes:) In the picture below I have  applied it without a concealer...Another best thing about this is ...it doesn't make ur face look cakey or it don't give that heavy foundation feel...it gives a glowy real skin feel...:) I love that...When you apply first, It might look oily or greasy ...But It will soon go away once you set it with your compact or loose powder...:) It stays there as such :) upto 6 hours easily for me...:) I do touch up my face during the day to eliminate shine..I really recommend this to everyone:) It has SPF 20 to it which makes it perfect...One small pump is enough for the whole face...The best way to apply this is after concealing, apply this to areas only where you need coverage.:) thats's my way...
Left: With Flash(No Concealer), Right (Without Flash, No Concealer)

Pros
  • daily wearable foundation
  • paraben free
  • no irritation or breakouts on skin
  • gives dewy finish, natural looking
  • hides minor blemishes
  • best suited for dry skin
  • good value or money
  • variety of shades to choose from
  • pump dispenser makes it easy to dispense the product...
Cons
  • Expensive
  • packaging can be messy at times... The cap is not that good...(Be careful whole lifting the foundation by touching the cap)
Overall its a product worth trying:)
Hope you all liked the review:)
Take Care dearies:) I will review more products from this range soon:)
