Anyway, down below is a photo when I first applied the foundation and the second was taken 5.5 hours later. It was really hot (108°) and humid and I was out running around during that time. I have combination/oily skin that is most definitely more oily during the summer. I did use the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Light as my base. I use a primer with all of my foundations. The product goes on smoothly & evenly and I find it to be moisturizing upon application. The product claims to have a natural-matte finish that "controls oil, yet hydrates where needed." I didn't find this to control my oil at all. In fact, I could actually see the product sitting on my skin, mostly just on my nose. I'm going to try the foundation again using a different setting powder and maybe a different primer to see if I can make it work for me. I will post an update if there's a distinct difference. I really wanted to love this product, especially because of the decent price tag, so I'm going to play around with it some more. Keep in mind I am pretty damn oily. In the winter I will dry up a little bit so it should be good then. But I do think if you're combination/dry or have aging skin this is definitely a better fit for you. Let me know if you've tried this and what your thoughts are.
