This is a thick foundation, I wouldn't use it unless you had something to cover up. If you do, then this is a good foundation. It comes with a tiny paddle, but I prefer a sponge. If you have age spots or acne, this will do a pretty good job to cover it. It blends well, and doesn't feel oily, though I have dry skin and could use a little of that! But anyway, it's a nice looking foundation and it does the job.
