I have been using this foundation for several years now. It's a little pricey, but it's worth it to me. A tube lasts me a year. I have 64-year-old skin that is somewhat blotchy, and this smooths out the coloration without looking cakey or too heavy. I would categorize it as heavy coverage (not medium or light coverage). It smooths on nicely, and it doesn't take much to cover the whole face. love it !
