Ingredients

Look no further if you're looking for the most affordable way to brighter, smoother, and healthier- looking skin! More about this product after the cut!

Product comes with an ultra controllable and no- clog pump.

Product comes in a glass bottle, which gives off this luxe appeal and has a slight curve near the center for easier handling. Bottle is a lil' heavy though, but solid enough to resist light falls. It's not travel- friendly though.

OC30 is a medium beige shade with a yellow undertone. To those who are new to ZA's base products, OC is good for those with a yellow undertone, and PO is for those with pink and neutral undertones. This is the darkest shade we have, by the way, and clearly, it's not for me as it appears lighter than my skin tone. (Think MAC's NC35 and NC40 shade) It's rich and emollient, and bears microscopic shimmers, the ones that give you that lust- worthy pearly skin. Coverage is light to medium and finish is dewy.

Benefit Boi-Ing Concealer + Etude House Surprise Concealer + Two layers of ZA True White Liquid Foundation

Consistency is a bit sticky, like a thick day cream so I would advise that you apply one or two layers only as it takes a while to settle-coverage is pretty good anyway. It's very moisturizing so I feel that it's very beneficial to dry skin. It's non- streaky, has very good smoothing and pore minimizing effects, and the brightening powders act immediately by giving you luminous skin in a flash. It's nice to know as well that the shimmers just melt onto the skin and don't give you that sparkling, ala-Edward of Twilight skin.

I've noticed that the foundation absorbs setting powder very well, thus you get an even better coverage. Now look at me in this photo-my skin looks perfect here! I look well- rested and the glow I have is almost unreal-I have never imagined that my skin would look this good with just a drugstore foundation-effect is kinda' similar to Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation. :) The brightening powder pigments and shimmer reflect light as well and blur fine lines and even mini facial bumps. Aside from the fact that this is not my shade match, it contains spf 20 too and I get a white cast in photos so I only use it during daytime, preferably during lunch and afternoon meetings wherein I won't be photographed because it only looks great under natural lighting. With this foundation, I sometimes don't have to highlight any longer because it has its own built- in highlighter!

The only downside is, it cannot control oil and it can even cause my T-Zone to become extra oily if the weather is very humid so I make sure to seal it with oil- absorbing setting powders such as Essence Fix & Matte. Staying power is pretty good, with very minimal fading at the end of the day, although I wish it had better oil- controlling power or won't aggravate oiliness at the very least.

This is one good drugstore foundation because despite its poor oil- controlling ability, it has great coverage and makes your skin look glowing, healthy and youthful, provided that you find a shade that matches your skin tone very well.

I would recommend it to you if you have dry skin because it kept my skin moisturized the whole day, but not to those with severely oily skin. For combination-oily to mildly oily skin, just be sure to set it with a dry, translucent powder to counteract the emollience and bring a couple of oil- blotting sheets to take away excess oil when it finally shows up. :)
