After years of wearing MAC cosmetics, I had no idea what I was missing out on. With the MAC makeup I wore, my face would appear very matte and dry. I went into MAC a couple times and asked how i could correct this and they recommended bronzer, a finishing shine powder, primer, finishing spray....I bought it all. None did what I really wanted but I didn't know better. Dermablend has done exactly what I had been looking for. The finished product looks hydrated and natural, more of a satin finish. The application is super easy also. I watched a video on the Dermablend website which basically is 4 steps: 1) Put a small amount on the back of your hand 2) Dab it onto your face 3) Blend 4) Use setting powder. The coverage is medium to full and a little bit goes a long way. The pigment saturation had me wonderfully surprised. I felt like very little did a great job covering my freckles. I've never had a makeup cover so well without the cakey feeling. I have been telling everyone about this makeup after using it for over a week everyday. I love it!!
