I was thinking that the Lasting Base didn't suit me in color and was too matte, so I bought this one. It had a sophisticated sheen without being too flashy, and the color was perfect for my skin. And, as expected from Chacott, it's long-lasting! It adheres perfectly to the skin without feeling cakey. It provides beautiful coverage, making it perfect for those who prefer no foundation. I applied this in small dots, then spritzed the mist lotion all over my face, and then spread it with a multi-foundation puff for a beautiful finish. It's not particularly moisturizing, so applying it with my fingers during dry seasons may cause it to clog my pores. While it doesn't seem like it's suitable for all seasons for dry skin, I reach for this one on days when I want my makeup to stay in place. It's long-lasting and provides great coverage, but it doesn't feel harsh on my skin, so I'll probably repurchase it once I run out.
