First time when I used this foundation, I failed.. looked quite hard to blend in to the skin, felt that foundation sat on the top. Next time I used richer texture face cream (my skin in dry on the winter) and I used primer. Also, I shaked bottle before I used and I pumped on my palm, warmed foundation up a little bit and just then, with the sponge, I applied on the skin. Such a difference ! It stayed the whole day. No smudge or transfer. Description says that foundation is sweat and water proof, I did a little test I sprayed with a lot of water and tried to rub off.. no change ! Need to use make up remover. The big days and celebrations, or if you are a gym girl, you are covered ! Make up will stay flawless !
