I use it and get on very well with it. It is quite sheer, but can be built up in layers if you want a sharper look. Leaves my skin quite glowy. I have very oily skin and it doesn't seem to block my pores as much as previous foundations

It’s my favourite foundation. Good coverage, available in lighter shades and lasts all day on my skin.

Thanks..I've taken a punt on the Porcelain shade...I do have yellowy undertones so hopefully it will work for me.

Does it give a slightly 'dewy' finish? I find that now I am older, certain foundations can make my skin look really 'flat' and dry.

I find the colour range skews quite yellow in undertone. I'm fair with quite a pink undertone and I struggled to find a shade that didn't look a bit odd. It has a fairly light (but buildable) dewy coverage.

Sorry - crosspost. Sounds like it will work well for you OP!

Thanks @RCohle..I know I should probably have tried it before buying but I'm impatient and there is no BB stockist near me really!

I used it for a while in Porcelain. It is very pale- almost too pale for me yet next shade up too dark.

I found it like water. It has light coverage and if you apply 2 layers it's ok but then it looks kind of powdery.

TBH I found Revlon Colourstay a good alternative (I don't use it but bought it once to try a budget range.)

If you like the BB one you might also like Clinique Even Better Glow which is roughly the same but with a bit more coverage.

I love it. I have skin like a lizard and have tried just about every foundation there is for dry skin. This one is very watery but can be built up and doesn’t show any areas of dryness or pores once it’s on. I’m very pale but find Ivory is perfect for me, the lighterer ones are too light which is unusual for me. The stick foundation is good too, it gives a bit more coverage but it’s not for superdry skin days.
