Review
In Argentina can be found in a glass container with a pump. The consistency it's a little bit liquidy, runny, but thinker. Once it's on the skin, it feels lightweight. Sets in a powder form and dries fast. After 10 minutes without setting it with any powder, I cannot feel any sort of tackiness, and I dind't have any problem on applying any powder on top either. The finish is natural. I have noticed some sparkles in the formula. Its coverage is medium and it can be built to have an almost full coverage. It covers small blemishes. It can be applied with a foundation brush, beauty sponge or fingertips. Easy to blend. I cannot see any redness, and most of my freckles are covered with the thinnest layer of product. Stays in place all day, if it is set with loose powder or pressed powder (and setting spray). I can see some oiliness thoughtout the day, nothing major, though. Some of the product might be transfered to the clothes. It didn't oxidize, or at least not even a shade if it does (but I haven't noticed any oxidazation). It has no scent. It didn't break me out. It has SPF 18.
