When I first used this, I tried layering it and it ended up patchy. After starting over and applying only one layer, it was lovely! In promo photos (on the brand website) it is shown used mostly as a graphic look, i.e. not very blended out, and that would be how I recommend wearing it if you want full opacity. I managed to blend the edges when I wore it (work quickly!) and it was sheerer but still very pretty. While this formula has its drawbacks I think the color is worth the hassle and price point.

Like its partner, the coverage foundation, this doesn't wear very well on me, which is to be expected with the sheerer finish. It's very luminous but not due to any shimmer, which is not what I look for in a foundation so it's rated a little lower to me. It applies well and the color match is spot on for my skin. It mixes very well with the coverage foundation but doesn't seem to "set" like that one does.

The only reason this isn't a full five stars is that it doesn't wear super-well on me, but I think that's more on my skin than on the formula. It's very high coverage (the only foundation I've used with more coverage was It Cosmetics) and applies well. Best of all in my opinion is that it's easily mixable with its partner formula (the serum foundation) to customize level of coverage. For now, this is my HG of foundations.

I have over a hundred bottles of polish. This continues to be one of my favorites, long after I bought it, because it's such a unique color. Its closest dupe is That's Shore Bright from China Glaze but that one is more sheer and not as bright. Play Date from Essie is also close but suffers similar problems. Would easily repurchase again.
