I got this foundation in the lightest shade NO1. When I swatched it on my hand, it seemed kind of dark, but it actually blended well on my face. The minus of this product is that it emphasizes dry skin and pores. When I applied it on my nose it looked very bad. Also in winter, when I had some dry patches on my forehead I couldn't use this foundation. It also emphasizes any texture on my face. And if you apply more than one layer it gets very cakey. Of course, this foundation has some advantages, for example, it is very long lasting.
