Review
Overally, it's a good everyday foundation that I'd personally wear it for work. It's lightweight and doesn't look cakey at all, which I really like but I notice there's a flashback, so I personally wouldn't use it on days I'm planning to take pictures.
  • Coverage: Light-to-medium coverage
  • Application: It comes with an applicator that you can use to apply the foundation and then blend it out with a brush or beautyblender. The brush provides a better coverage but I prefer using a beautyblender. It's very easy to apply and you can build it up.
  • Shade: I got the shade 303 True Nude, which isn't the perfect for my skin tone but it's the closest match I found. 300 was lighter and 400 was slighty deeper.
  • Wear time: I tested it out for 6 hours in the video. I have oily t-zone but it didn't look too oily by end of the day. It does slightly fade away with time especially around my mouth and nose.

Review
It's very pigmented and long wearing. It provides a great coverage but I personally don't like to build it up too much because it can easily end of looking cakey. It has a matte finish and it photographs well.  
I have oily t-zone and I was quite impressed at how I didn't look oily by end of the day. I've tested it out for 6 hours in this video but I've also tested it out for 8-10 hours and got very similar result. 
  • Finish: Matte 
  • Coverage: Medium to Full Coverage
  • Application: I prefer applying it with a brush first and then blending it with beautyblender. I do recommend using less product but it can easily end up looking cakey. It does set fast, so I'd recommend working in sections especially if you want to build up the coverage.
  • Shade: I got the shade 300, which matched me pretty well! It does oxidize a bit when you apply it but it didn't oxidize on me throughout the day.
  • Wear time: I tested it out for 6 hours in the video. I have oily t-zone but I noticed I didn't look oily by end of the day. I've also worn it at work a couple of times and the foundation looks great by end of the day.
