I have healthy skin, so I skip the primer. This foundation lasts all day long, I am in earlier 60s, I get compliments on my skin, it never looks cakey or creasing. it gives fabulous coverage all over of my skin, I can't live without it.
I love the shade of this formula, I found it matches my skin tone well while covers my blemishes nice, and I don't want to change it.
I've tried many of EL products, and I love this foundation. It goes on smoothly all over my skin, covers my flaws perfectly, and the SPF 15 is an extra plus.
