I consider myself to be something of a foundation fanatic, if you will. I have hundreds of foundations. Mainly because I am so fair complected and I have trouble finding foundations that match my skin tone. But lately cosmetic cosmetic companies have actually been doing a better job of coming out with shades for lighter and darker skin tones. Usually it's just the shades in between that are able to get the good shades. However, I am finding that many companies are losing business because they do not have enough color categories for the very fair or the very dark complected of us.
Recently I tried out mally beauty Flawless Finish Transforming Effect Foundation in Fair. OMG. This is the first time I have tried a compact sponge foundation that actually matches my skin tone. mally beauty is apparently known for having skin perfecting foundations and this one i no exception. This dense 'cake' foundation liquifies upon contact with your choice of applicator (it comes with a sponge applicator but I like to use my beautyblender to apply it), then melts into skin. Upon application it transforms into a thin, full-coverage layer that completely covers imperfections and looks completely natural on the skin, making skin look, indeed, flawless.
The compact features a fine mesh cover over the foundation to release the ideal amount for the most natural look. Apply using a foundation brush for an airbrushed finish, or use the enclosed compact sponge for on-the-go touchups. This foundation is exactly what you need for a perfect skin day. Flawless Finish Transforming Effect Foundation comes in five shades: Fair, Light, Medium, Rich and Tan. I use Fair and I was pleasantly and completely surprised that it was light enough for me. Usually when a foundation only comes in that many shades, the Fair shade is just a little too dark for me. But this shade is absolutely perfect for my skin tone.
I wear this foundation a lot now. Not only does it go on easily and have full-coverage, it wears very well too. It lasts all day long without oxidizing on the skin (turning yellow or orange) and when set with powder, makes skin look perfect all day long. I love the way this foundation easily blends into the skin and just makes skin look like you are not wearing any foundation at all. For me, this is what wearing foundation is all about. You really do not want to look like you are wearing any at all.
Here is a swatch of the Fair shade on my wrist:

In the swatch you can see the full-coverage in just the swatch alone. This was just put on with my finger. It looks a little pink against the light of my bathroom but it does match the skin of my face. Can you just imagine the coverage this has? I mean if just this little tiny swatch can cover this well imagine how well it covers on the face? Beautifully.
Here are some photos of me wearing the foundation:

You can see above, in the photos, that my skin looks flawless. It has radiance to it and no imperfections are visible. The one thing that this foundation really has going for it is that it has full-coverage that is extremely light. I have never seen foundation with full-coverage like this before that has such a lightweight feel to it. It really does go on easily too and it doesn't dry down too quickly so there is time to blend the foundation.
