Most days I prefer a liquid foundation, they are lighter and easy to mix with my serums to get smooth coverage that stays light and hydrating but full coverage. However as even my liquid was not able to handle when my eczema flares badly I was enthusiastic about trying this dermablend cream. First I like the color range, I have pale skin and can have a really hard time finding shade, many brands don't really go into the fair and lighter shades so it is always a tone off. I did still choose two shades but mostly because it is summer and my skin can get a bit darker. The color I choose for universal use is the rose beige. I was a bit nervous with beige in the title but I followed the chart and went with it. I have to say it is just about perfect. I was also worried with the weight of a formula that was in a heavy pot, and my concern was not necessary. A little goes quite a long way, I did my initial application with my fingers, and then blended and smoothed with a damp beauty blender. The formula on this is really impressive, it can go on thin enough to see my freckles with enough blending, or can be gently blended to cover the worst of my eczema. I was really happy with not only the coverage but the fact that it didn't cause any additional irritation and in fact some of the worst areas even looked a bit more healed after taking it off. The ability to cover what is often large raw areas that embarrass me too much to go out has made this a favorite in my makeup collection. I would give it more than five stars if I could.
