My Thoughts:  As you can see in my first reaction video, I wasn't a huge fan of this foundation for myself.  The color was way too dark, and I actually looked more red and tired at the end of the day than how I started.  In the video, I look more brown/orange than red, because I screwed up the color settings on my camera and can't figure out how to fix them.  But where you see blotchy brown/orange patches on my skin (pre foundation), that's actually redness. You can see how dark it was on me by comparison, but the color oxidation was camouflaged in person a bit by my bronzer and other makeup.

The coverage was ok, but had to be built up.  By the end of the day, it had worn away and any imperfections in my skin were showing again clearly.  The rest of my makeup on top also didn't last all day and faded off.  I looked washed out.  I took a photo with my phone to see if it reacts to flash, and it looked so heinous I won't bother to show you. Last thing I need is for that to end up in some internet meme on bad makeup.

The video does really make it look a lot worse than it looked in person, but the end result I still wouldn't voluntarily walk around in public like that again.




Final Verdict:  Unless you're significantly darker than I am, I wouldn't bother with this foundation.  And even then, don't expect it to look great for more than a handful of hours.  I just saved you $27.  You're welcome.
