My Review:
Okay first off, the packaging is quite nice for the price. The product comes in a sleek white tube with a silver screw cap. The product comes out of a nozzle when squeezed so no chances of wastage.




The texture is thick and creamy, more like a foundation. I apply it with my fingers and it blends really well. The coverage is light to medium which is good since I was looking for natural coverage. It covers the unevenness on my face well, lightens dark circles a bit. But it does not cover blemishes/dark spots or hides acne/acne scarring, but dulls the appearance of them. I would not recommend layering this as it might look cakey. It is non-comedogenic, so it does not clog my pores. I also appreciate this has SPF 30 PA++ so you don't need a sunscreen. Doesn't produce a white cast. It has a typical pond's fragrance which isn't so bad.

The finish is semi-matte and gives quite a natural look. If you have dry skin, you might need to moisturize underneath or it might settle into pores. But it won't work for you if you have very oily skin. You will need a very good finishing powder to keep the shininess at bay and you'd need to touch up after every few hours.



I have combination skin with an oily T-zone. It starts off matte, but within a couple of hour, my T-zone begins to look a bit greasy. Touching a tissue to my nose would completely saturate it with product and it starts to rub off. So I set it with Rimmel Stay Matte powder and it stays for 5-6 hours.

Also, it did not lighten my dark spots as it claims but it does brighten up my face after application and it hasn't broken out my relatively sensitive combination skin. It comes only in one natural shade which could be a problem for some of you. I have a wheatish complexion and it suits me well.

Overall, I'd say considering its price, it is a good option if you're looking for a medium coverage that looks natural. Thick in texture but blends smoothly and gives a healthy glow and decent sun protection. Not ideal for very oily skin tho.

Pros:

• Sleek packaging. Travel-friendly.
• Natural light to medium coverage.
• Non-comedogenic.
• Blends nicely and brightens up face.
• Gives a natural semi matte finish.
• Sun protection SPF 30++
• Does not feel heavy or form a white cast.
• Fragrance does not linger.
• Affordable.

Cons:

• Available in 1 shade only.
• Does not give heavy coverage (does not cover blemishes, dark spots or acne scars).
• Does not lighten dark spots.
• Not ideal for oily skin.
• Not hydrating enough for dry skin. Might require a bit of effort to blend.
