On with the review!
When I took the Influenster "snap", which is a little survey to determine whether or not you are eligible for a certain product, I remember choosing the second to lightest shade for this foundation. That being said, I received the shade 10 Porcelain.
2. The color match was completely off.
3. The coverage is light and it did not cover any of my dark spots. In fact, I think it made them look worse.
4. On the days I didn't mix it with another foundation my skin had a weird grey tint to it.
5. It contains no SPF so it provides no protection from the sun.
As you can probably guess this foundation did not work out for me. I think if you already have nice skin and don't need to cover anything up this foundation would look beautiful on you. Also, if you are in your early teens and looking for a light coverage foundation to keep your skin clear this would be a nice starter foundation.
I really think Influenster should have offered all shades to chose from and included the shade names in the survey before offering to send out samples. From talking to other people who were in the test group, many of us received the wrong shade for our skin tone so we can't really give a truly accurate review of how this product works.
I do think this product has properties in it to keep your skin clear of blemishes which is great. I sometimes suffer from acne and I think this foundation helped prevent those breakouts.
In the end there were two clear things that made up my mind about this foundation: the color and the coverage. I think if I was given my correct shade my opinion would be much better. I tried to imagine how I might look if this were the correct color but it sure is hard when you are staring at a dull ghost in the mirror. I also think if this foundation provided more coverage I would have been able to work with it a bit better.
Those are just my thoughts and I would love to hear your thoughts on this product if you have tried it. Let me know in the comments or hit me up on any of my social media sites linked below.

This shade is too light for my skin tone so really I could never get a true idea if this foundation would work for me. I had to mix it with a darker foundation to make it match my normal skin tone. The darker foundation I used was the Maybelline Fit Me foundation in the shade 120. I needed to use this foundation up anyway so I thought this was a good opportunity to do that. I also thought that maybe since they were both Maybelline foundations it might help me decide if, under normal circumstances, I would like this foundation.
After 3 complete weeks of use I have some distinct pros and cons for this product.
Pros:
1. The formula definitely didn't irritate my skin and my skin stayed clear of blemishes while using this foundation.
2. The formula feels very light on your skin.
3.The packaging is nice and I love that it comes with a pump.
Cons:
1. It make my skin look dry.2. The color match was completely off.
3. The coverage is light and it did not cover any of my dark spots. In fact, I think it made them look worse.
4. On the days I didn't mix it with another foundation my skin had a weird grey tint to it.
5. It contains no SPF so it provides no protection from the sun.
