Jen's Experience: When I started using this product, I had just run out of my Clinique Superfit Makeup, which is very thick and really hides every bump and blotch on your face. I wanted to get something a little sheerer when I went to the makeup counter, since I'm always trying to achieve that "dewy" look that all the magazines keep talking about. I wasn't so sure the first couple times I tried it, but since then I have been very pleased with this foundation. It goes on smoothly, blends well, and when I have it on, I still feel like my skin can breathe. And when I layer it with moisturizer and maybe a little foundation primer, I think I've actually got the dewy look perfected. If you have any redness on your face, which I inevitably do, you will have to use a separate concealer over the foundation to cover it.
Tips: If you're really going for the flawless look, I recommend using a makeup sponge to apply. It's wasteful, but it's worth it.
