I put very little cream and I do not like my makeup because I often feel that cosmetics "suffocate" the skin making it greasy and uncomfortable. Basically, to me a good makeup product should be forgotten. This foundation does not dry skin or oily makes. It leaves a slight feeling of velvet matting face while mitigating some imperfections. Few product enough to be effective. The ideal outfit is approximately 4-5 hours when the presence in the pot of a mirror to touch up during the day. In summary? A good product that is not unpleasant to wear but that is not a miracle either.
