I decided to try this foundation because it was one of the few brands that seemed to have a light enough shade for me. It's always a struggle to find a light enough shade, but I am currently trying out the Clarins Everlasting Foundation in the shade Ivory 103. I really like this foundation, it covers well and lasts quite a few hours. I'm not too fond of the smell (just personal preference) , but otherwise it's a really good foundation and I would recommend it to others.
