My skin isn't too bad at the moment, I have done my usual skincare routine before applying makeup.

I want to see how this foundation works with and without primer so I am going to use my favourite primer from Benefit on my right side (left in the picture) and leave the other side primer-less.

Using a clean Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge I apply a thin layer of this foundation onto my skin. I wouldn't say it is full coverage.

I don't add any powders or concealers except my Benefit Hoola Bronzer.

Makeup all done and I don't feel like this is a heavy coverage but let's see how the day goes.

Update #1 (11:30am): My skin looks quite matte but doesn't look too bad.

Update #2 (7:30pm): Foundation is very patchy and clings to any dry patches.

It is definitely lightweight, I disagree with it being medium to full coverage and doesn't minimise the appearance of uneven skin tone. My skin didn't feel uncomfortable it just didn't look the best, I will continue using it and maybe there will be a revisit blog post.
