What owners single out
Review 5's complaint about white cast and oiliness directly mirrors the white cast and oil control concerns that emerged as the product's weakest aspects among buyers.
In their words
“So hydrating but mattifying? It's a mousy texture that feels thick at first but then mattifies on the face. That thick texture i found is really good for cold harsh weather as well to protect skin. It works like a charm as a primer or on makeup no makeup days where I want my face to be blurred. It has a blurring tint to it that works well for my pale skin tone for a very light coverage.”

“I really hated this product. It was thick, heavy, and left a white-cast on my face (making me look like I was wearing a mask). I was incredibly oily after applying this foundation, and my makeup really didn't last at all because of it. It also had a shimmer to it, which accentuated all of the texture in my face. I would not at all recommend this product.”
