This foundation is awesome! It's a liquid foundation but once it drys, it feel like a powder. It's magical~ The shade I purchased is #23. I'm actually just a little bit darker than this shade, but I like to use it anyways because it brightens up my skin tone. I have some acne scars on my checks and this foundation doesn't really cover it all up, but I don't really mind. When I'm feeling lazy, I just wear this foundation on it's own. When I'm not lazy, I use a concealer before the foundation.
