I had very high hopes for this foundation and after trying it out with a variety of primers and powders, I'm disappointed. I have sensitive skin that reacts to most foundation by over producing oil so I try to find something matte that won't dry out my skin too much. I think this is too creamy and not matte enough. Within 30-60 minutes, my face starts to get oily and caky. I frequently have to blot or powder and even so, it creates an oily mess on my face that isn't long wearing or transfer proof. When I use a very matte primer to begin with, I get emphasized texture around dry areas and coverage isn't always even. If I use a normal/moisturizing primer, I get smooth coverage and less texture but the foundation begins to grease up a little quicker. I'm very disappointed because I otherwise love the coverage and how easily it covers bright red blemishes without additional layers or even concealer. I just wish it help up and stayed nice looking without so much maintenance.
