Claims: for normal to oily skin, lightweight, mattifies, minimizes pores, controls shine and leaves a natural, seamless finish.

My opinion: I agree with all the claims. I apply it with a damp sponge, it blends really easily and the coverage is medium. You can build it up to high-medium but because of the natural finish it won't reach full coverage. It doesn't feel heavy or excessively occlusive on the skin. It dries down completely but still I set it with some powder to extend the wear the whole day. About after 5-8 hours (depending summer/winter) I get some shine around my nose and my chin, where I tend to be a little oily, which I'd say it's a very good shine-free duration. Of course that will depend on how oily your skin is. The shade range is very good.

Whenever I have any dry patches the product wears worse, it peels, but I guess I cannot complain since the foundation is not meant to be used on dry skin. By applying a heavier moisturizer on that area prior to the foundation the problem is reduced. Also I wish it had no alcohol, but that's just a personal preference.
