It's a great affordable foundation for when you're on a tight budget and the foundation does feel thick when it comes out of the tube. But I find that the coverage isn't much and it tends to leave my skin feeling very dry afterwards. I've also noticed that the product tends to rub off quite easily and isn't really long-lasting. It's a good product for light coverage and natural looking make-up styles.
If you on a low budget and need full coverage foundation this product is of a great quality and is cost effective it gives you what you need without the high price
This is a lovely product if you are looking for a simple, affordable, day-to-day foundation. I find the matt finish to be especially good for problematic skins as the lack of shine means less imperfections are highlighted.
Although this product claims to be long lasting, i personally find it is not ideal for long wear. The formula rubs off very easily and can be a bit of a problem if you are dancing, sweating or in any situation where you may hug someone (foundation stains; not attractive).
This foundation provides a decent amount of coverage and can be layered in areas where you may need more without looking unnatural or cakey.

I have been using this foundation (Matt Caramel shade) for 2 months and love it. I use a beauty blender to apply it and it provides even coverage. My only criticism is that it rubs off easily which can be quite embarrassing if you hug someone who is wearing white. This is available at Clicks and Dischem and currently retails for about R80 - great if you are looking for a foundation that won't break the bank.
