Description

I was very excited to try this product after seeing the ads and commercials for the last few weeks. The models they use in many of the ads are Brazilian/Multi-ethnic and African-American, so I knew that the color range would at least cover most of the bases for women of color. I normally do not buy drugstore brand foundations (I'm a Mac and Sue Devitt fan), but I was willing to try it.

The first thing that I noticed was that the top of the foundation jar is a slightly darker color than what is actually inside. Therefore, the Cocoa, which I chose, looks much darker based on the cap, but is about 2 shades lighter when you open and see the product. The feel of it is dreamy! So light and airy- just like a mousse! It dries down instantly to a fine powder on the skin. It also seems to have "adjusting" color pigments in it, which create a flawless look. The coverage is light to medium, depending on how much product you use. The first few times I applied with my fingertips but I also tried applying with a sponge with also great results.
