I am constantly trying new foundations, both drugstore and high end, looking for my holy grail. I am nearing 50, have dry skin, and some large pores on my cheeks. My job can be hot in the summer, so I often sweat. I put foundations through it. This foundation is awesome, and beats most all the higher end foundations I've tried. I also love the Cover Girl Healthy Elixer, and often mix the two and get the perfect finish. You won't go wrong with either one.
