This foundation contains 40% oil and adheres perfectly to the skin. It gives you a lustrous complexion while still retaining the lightness of powder. It doesn't flake and doesn't show through pores, so even though I prefer liquid foundation, I want to use it every day.
I bought this last fall and used it until early spring. I took a break, but then summer ended and I was unsure what foundation to use, so I came back to it. It's amazing! I love that it's a powder, yet it creates a thin, liquid-like finish. It's so moisturizing that it feels a little heavy in spring and summer. It's especially recommended for fall and winter! I use a very moisturizing skincare and primer, and this foundation goes on beautifully when applied thinly with a brush. To achieve a thin, liquid finish, you need a sponge, but applying powder with a brush is easier. On days when my skin is a little redder, applying it little by little provides natural coverage. And even layering doesn't make it look thick. It even has a glow. It's powder. It's amazing... I recommend this to anyone looking for a powder foundation that's truly powder-free. I love it so much that I had to write a review, even though I usually just read reviews! I have a lighter skin tone and am concerned about yellowish undertones, so the bright pink shades are a nice plus. I want to use this powder foundation for the rest of my life.
I personally think this foundation is good, but I wonder if it's not popular? I think it's a powder foundation with the adhesion of a cream. It's not powdery at all, and it adheres perfectly to the skin the moment you apply it. No matter how much you apply it, it doesn't feel thick at all. It has a dewy finish, so I think it makes your skin look brighter. However, it doesn't have much coverage, so I also use concealer to hide blemishes on my cheeks, and I also use a tinted primer. At my age, I've come to prefer a natural-looking finish, even if it shows a few imperfections, rather than the obvious feeling that I've applied a lot of makeup, so I think this is the finish I'm most looking for at the moment. However...it's a bit pricey, and I wish it was a little cheaper.

I have fair, warm-toned skin and a spring undertone. I used the sample (OC201). It says, "It beautifully accentuates the bone structure and creates a three-dimensional finish," and it truly does. It's not powdery at all, and it gives the impression of applying liquid foundation and then dusting on loose powder. It also has a subtle, natural sheen and is light and sheer. It says no primer is required, but I applied it over La Roche-Posay's clear sunscreen. It does clog pores a little, especially around the sides of my nose, so I might not reach for it on busy mornings. However, it leaves a beautiful finish on my cheeks and other areas. I'm a fan of thin application, so I didn't notice any issues other than the above. If you're experiencing discomfort with this product, perhaps applying a small amount is the key to a beautiful finish. I was wondering how it would turn out, as reviews have shown mixed reviews, but this one does have its share of annoying aspects. Still, each of the est foundations is incredibly good. Brands that focus on advertising and design tend to be more appealing because of their flashy designs, but I've belatedly discovered that est is a low-key yet incredibly high-quality foundation! I think I'll only choose est foundation from now on. If I were to buy it, I would go for BE300. I highly recommend it!
