-Its like a toothpaste or an oil paint tube in metallic silver. Its interesting. :) Texts are all in English.

Product Description: "This long-lasting foundation evens skin tone and leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. This line is ideal for oily skin cause of oil-free non-sticky and soft texture. It also covers blemishes effectively."

Consistency & Texture:

-Its consistency almost like an oil paint. In between cream and liquid/spray foundations. 

Application and Absorption:  It is easy to apply because of its fluidity. I only need to use a little bit and it can cover my face and neck with ease. It takes quite a while to set in and blend though. And as I apply it, I can see the difference in my skin. It really evened out skin tone and did a good coverage.

-The only problem is when you put more than enough. Ive had those times when I was in a hurry and I just put whatever or if I squeezed too much and think that it'd be a pity to throw it. And when I did, my face was all caky  by mid-day. And you dont want that happening to you. So if you ever use this product be careful when squeezing it out. A little from time to time would be good. Believe me you only need a little to cover your face and neck because it does an absolute job.

-Using a brush is better than your fingers and/or a sponge. First you can tell when you'd put on enough when you see brush strokes on your face. It means stop dubbing your brush on your foundation and just blend in what you've put on. If you think there are still spots that needs to be covered, use your concealer. 2nd, using your fingers will limit the coverage to a minimum. Brushes always cater better coverage. 3rd, using a sponge will be a waste since it will absorb most of the foundation. You just need your sponge for blending. :)

POV: This foundation is perfect for my everyday use. I bought it for that purpose but I did not expect a very good result because it is a bit cheap for "faceshop" (their products are quite expensive in my country). For coverage, packaging, application and price worth I give it an 8 out of 10. The only thing I have problems about it though is that it says it is for oily skin and I expected it to hold me from using oil films and do touch ups to not less than 3 hours from application and oil starts coming out in about 1.5 to 2hours. (Well actually my face is really oily but whatever. :D) It is good enough.
