Wonderful foundation.
Love, love this foundation. Have used it for years. The trouble is the dispenser. It squirts small dots of the foundation on whatever I am wearing and NOTHING get it out. Ive gone through about a dozen bottles over the years and they are all the same. Please fix the squirter thing on that bottle!!

Gorgeous coverage
I know the price point is a little steep, but my skin has never looked better. The coverage is gorgeous and luminous, I'm not really a review person but this product is amazing. I hate that I love it so much bc it is so expensive, but I'm never going back.

Poor online color selection
The product is good but the color selections are way off the true color on the website and I cannot use it as it is too light.

The best foundation for mature skin
I mix this foundation with a little serum, illuminator and my face looks flawless. I also wear a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation. So I noticed that this foundation can oxidize and get darker. That's because mine is almost a year old. If you have mature skin, try adding a drop of serum or any drop of oil. I use a brush to apply it and follow that up with a beauty blender sponge and my face looks hydrated and radiant. I am a neutral medium and the 4.5 is just right for me. I am going to buy another bottle that is one shade lighter, and mix them for a perfect winter shade. You will not be sorry with this purchase. It's not too glowy and will not settle into fine lines, not will it move around.

It appears that you’ve added new shades since my last purchase. It looks as if the lowest number shades are not necessarily the lightest. So, a light medium shade can have a lower number than a light. Am I correct?

Can never repurchase the correct shade because the # disappears under the bottle. I would be happy to pay for sample packets of shades that may work for me, rather than pay $65 for wrong color. Not interested is posting my pic and testing.
