Love this makeup! It is coverage..but can be thinned out as needed. If you are dry, this is THE thing! Been around for 30 years and is the top pick for makeup artists and photographers. I got lucky as a local salon carried it and I got to try to pick my color. IF you do not have such luck then use the Gerda Spillman direct site. They are very helpful and will take care of you. I have seen some gals not like the fact that it is such coverage..This one delivers! ..If you are dry skin you will love it! I am super dry..I top it with a very light dusting of Smashbox HD powder and it is an all day love affair! I am ordering the blush as I see many fab reviews and my salon does not carry this item. I just got a discount code for ordering .This stuff lasts and lasts. I have heard of a blush lasting years. Worth a try!
