   I went thru so much to get my hands on this foundation. Placed an order and paid for 2nd day delivery and received confirmation, but after not receiving tracking as it was being shipped same day, found out that my order was lost during Tom Ford’s computer upgrade only to place a second order paying again extra for 2nd day delivery and once again they could not locate my order and was told my orders did not go thru even though I had two confirmation emails and two pending charges. I gave up but then I found almost $380 of charges that went thru for two foundations and surprisingly today I received BOTH foundations, but let me tell you, the drama was worth it as the Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation works so well for me. I ordered 0.0 Pearl which is their lightest foundation and it works so well with my NW10 and paler skin. I noted that my skin truly looked radiant and this foundation made my skin look flawless. Huge Plus is no settling onto pores or fine lines and it has an SPF of 50 (major plus for me.) This foundation did not counteract with my regular sunscreen as well as paired well with my primer. I had good medium coverage and my skin looked so natural and I was surprised to see that it covered my discolorations and therefore glad that I did not need to add a concealer for added coverage. Now the only issue I have is the $150 price tag, however, Tom Ford’s beauty line is excellent quality and this foundation is no different, so I can justify the high price tag at least for myself because this is a truly beautiful foundation. I absolutely love it !!! ETA: I just wanted to point out for those who are interested in the TF foundation, but cannot justify the price, YouTuber, Mel.Thompson, has pointed out that Estee Lauder’s Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Foundation is very similar in terms of ingredients and wear as compared to this Tom Ford Foundation. Also note that in addition to being similar, Estee Lauder owns Tom Ford. In all fairness, I did do a trial of the Estee Lauder foundation, and unfortunately their lightest shade available was not light enough for me and did oxidize (oxidization is a common problem I have always had with EL for some reason,) as well as I found that the EL foundation accentuated my pores (note that I am lucky that I really do have not pores, however, the EL made it appear that I did and made my pores look cakey as well.) Again, this is my experience with EL which is why I really love the Tom Ford Foundation, however, your results may be different than mine, and therefore EL would be a similar option for you.
