Excellent coverage for concealing imperfections, discoloration, even scarring.  I skip concealer when using this.  The cream foundation is thick, as would be expected.  I usually use MAC foundation sticks, so this is a bit heavier than my usual routine.  It's good for when I really want to go out and put on a full face.  Use your fingers or a makeup sponge for even application.  I am typically one of those people who prefer to use a tinted moisturizer and some eyeliner and leave it at that.  The golden brown is darker than I expected.  Even with the shade charts provided on Amazon, I'm not entirely sure how to get a good color match online without seeing the full spectrum of the color palettes available.  If you fall between two colors, it's not as though you can easily order both colors just to dab a little on the back of your hand and see which one suits you best.  Especially at these prices.  I used to say you couldn't buy shoes online, it's really something you have to try in person.  Generous free return policies though have proven me wrong.  Maybe I'll be wrong about buying makeup online too.
