I have very fair combination skin that tends to be on the dry/ flaky side. I find that this foundation acts as a perfect primer for me, but I have to apply a foundation powder to get an even skin tone and full coverage of my very few blemishes. I love that even after a full 8 hour work day (i'm busy and on my feet so usually sweating) I do not have to reapply anything and my skin doesn't have an oily look. I will buy this product again and definitely recommend it over PUR Minerals and Bare Minerals foundations. If you're using for the first time, go in to the Body Shop Store and get an associate to help you find the right product and colour for your skin.
