When applied properly short Z strokes with nozzle do NOT hold nozzle continuously down but off and on Z pattern across face. Let dry for a minute and then powder puff lightly up and in needed area to smooth together. I suggest using hair cap it keeps overspray off my hair. Once applied and buffed and blended it does not sweat off or come off on clothes pillowcases etc… but comes off with any make up remover. set with your final powder. I use dermablend. Tap on the white powder lightly and just let stand. White will disappear and give matte finish. This has been used in Hollywood on different sets and stars since early 2000's. Once I used back then I was hooked. No need for big bulky machines and mixing colors etc etc…Just find your right shade take 2 minutes and get an airbrush look daily. You can find your correct shade on website.

This makeup would get 5 stars for the coverage, staying power and color....but now i can't use it because the can doesn't spray. It's as though it has no air to push the makeup through, so my full can is now rendered useless to me as I cannot get the makeup out. Incredibly disappointed that this makeup is expensive, and now I can't even use it!

As I stated above I loved Dior Airflash that was waterproof and the coverage was flawless. Sadly Dior discontinued the line. The Era tones are too warm and orange. Low to medium coverage.

I'm an MUA and this foundation has me very impressed. I've only bought my shade and tried it on myself so far. I went on the Era beauty website and they have a match helper. You plug in your brand and shade and it will tell you what shade in this you are. I am in NC 30 in Mac and it told me I am Wheat Y5. It is a perfect match. So next I'll tell you I am almost 50, have large pores, some fine lines and a few sunspots. This really makes me look even and FLAWLESS. And it lasts ALL day and controls the shine on my nose. I was shocked I went to the dentist today and water sprayed all over my face and my foundation still looked perfect. How I put it on is I prime my face, then I use concealer under my eyes and on my spots. I don't completely blend it into my skin I leave it sitting a little thick on those areas. Then I shake the can and spray on the back of my hand and I use an Elf airbrush brush and stipple in a downward motion. I spray one or two more times and go over areas until it looks like even coverage on the entire face. Let it settle a moment then use a sheer setting powder either clear or in your shade. I did try spraying this on my face and you can then blend it in but it's too much product on your face if you do it that way. That's just my opinion. Then once you do that you can go in with sculpting powder and blush and it does not disturb the foundation. So I'll go on to say I do use professional airbrush with the machine in my work and as I use up my stock I will be replacing it with this. I think it looks nicer! And not having to lug my machine and worry if there's outlets close will be so nice!

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love this foundation!! It's buildable and it feels great on my skin not heavy or cakey but make sure you shake the can hard so the product mixes.

Really like this product. I apply with a kabuki brush and it is as good a the more expensive Dior airbrush foundation. Definitely gives me an airbrush look without all the expensive tools. Also, it is easy to build up if you need or want more coverage. I do wish the color were a little darker though. Unless I'm having a pale day I have to add touches of pale beige shade by sally hansen. I tried the next darker color and it was too dark. I have olive undertones in my skin. Wish there was a counter nearby where I lived so I could try the shades in person to find a better match. It does not cause breakouts which many foundations have for me in the past. It also does not make my skin look oily or greasy.

Slightly different color ordered for summer. Formula should be the same - brand is. Cap doesn't fit well (it's too small) and the spray is inconsistent. The makeup doesn't blend the same. Doesn't matter if I buff it with a powder puff, brush, or try to spray it on - it's very hard to blend and it doesn't have the same coverage. I've been using this foundation for 2 years and I've never gotten a formula like this. Will not order from here again.

This has been the best foundation for me for the past few years. Though keep things in consideration: - If you can, find it at a beauty store where they have samples to match you with a color. There are yellow based (Y) and red based (R) colors. It's important to get the best color for your skin. - Shake it a lot!!! Especially in the beginning. Anyone who says this foundation doesn't work well just didn't shake it long enough. - The main way to use it is to actually spray it on your face - but I don't do this anymore. I shake it well and spray it into my hand and put it on with my fingers. Sometimes I'll mix it with my lotion. Doing this works really well for me, especially over a primer. And you can use whatever is left in your hand to go over any spots that need concealing (under eyes, blemishes, etc). - Yes, it is pricey but one bottle of this has lasted me about 8 months (using the method of spraying into my hands instead of directly on my face). Well worth the price!
