 A good foundation is one of the STAPLE makeup products that every woman should have in their vanity kit. From the word itself, it is the FOUNDATION of whatever makeup products you will be applying on your face. Think of your face as an empty wall, if you are going to do some paint job you have to prime it first and smoothen out some areas so that the paint job will look so good. That is just basically the thought of putting a foundation.

The product's consistency, coverage and performance is really GOOD! It won't really disappoint you! 

Although there are some areas to improve mainly on their packaging, this foundation can work well on Philippines climate! Cheers to that! If you are still hesitant to give this a try, I am telling you this is a sign and a go signal to go ahead and bring home a this foundation soon! If you are too acidic, this might oxidize on you, just a little trick though, pick a shade lighter than your skin tone if this is your main concern. It will do the trick!
