   I bought this because I needed an impromptu touch-up. I like “airbrush” foundations and I usually spray them directly on my face because honestly I don’t get the point of getting a spray to spray it on the brush. I’ve done both with this, however, and each yields good results. The brush this came with has actually become my go-to foundation brush. It’s big, dense and flat with what I assume is an intentional slight angle to it (hard to say, some lower end brushes have an angle by accident). The handle is short enough to fit wherever I want to keep it and it covered a lot of face so achieves a great overall buffing application.
   This appealed to me because it claims to be extra hydrating; my skin tends to be on the dry side, as do spray foundations in my experience. Sephora airbrush foundation is great but drying and can be dry looking. I’ve used the Pür spray foundation which is like a silicone glaze that doesn’t set. Ever. I’d say this is the happy medium between the two. Nice even medium coverage that can be built beautifully.
   One lippie off because shade range is abysmal – as is the case with many “seen on TV” type makeup products. And also it does not contain SPF which has pros and cons but I prefer not to have to think about it as an extra step.
   Overall a surprisingly successful purchase that I find myself using with regularity.

   Saw this at Walgreens as I was waiting for a scrip and since I love spray foundations, decided to give it a whirl. I picked medium because I’m probably NC30, Lancome ecru 230, Doublewear Ivory beige. It was an okay match but this foundation is very slick. It never dried on my skin so I had this transferring everywhere. Comes with a brush that I did not use(if I was taking it back) but used a like brush from my collection. It gave sheer to medium coverage but probably built up to full. The texture is slick like a tinted oil which if you have dry skin you might love. My combination skin(summer time) was so slick I could scrape this off with my fingernails.

   Only 3 colors were available at Walgreens for $19/each but I thought I wanted to try light/medium because the medium veered into the orange on me. So I ordered from Jerome Alexander. Do not order from them! They have terrible customer service and the prices are way higher that at drugstore. I canceled my order in several emails to them and lo and behold the package showed up anyway! I refused the package.

   This spray foundation does not compare to Sephoras spray foundation or Dior. I previously used Carmindy’s too. None were as slick as this.
