- Is this foundation good for oily skin?
- Not really. It is a hydrating, dewy formula, and oily-skin users report shine and fading within a few hours. A mattifying primer or setting powder helps, but a matte foundation suits oily skin better.
- How much coverage does it give?
- Sheer to medium. One layer evens tone and adds glow; a second layer builds a little more. It won't fully cover blemishes, dark spots or redness.
- Is it non-comedogenic?
- Yes, the formula is labeled non-comedogenic and paraben-free. It contains squalane, which is generally well tolerated, but patch-test if you are acne-prone.
- Can I buy refills instead of a new compact?
- The compact is designed to be refillable, so you can replace the cushion insert rather than the whole case. Check that the refill matches this shade and formula.
- What is in the box?
- One cushion compact with the foundation-soaked cushion, a mirror and an applicator puff. The compact holds 0.5 fl oz.
- How does it compare with a classic liquid foundation?
- It is lighter and more hydrating, with a dewier finish and easier touch-ups. A standard liquid foundation usually gives more coverage and longer wear.
