New Favorite Foundation
My Thoughts on the EX1 Foundation in the shade F100.
Where I Bought Mine - Make sure you look up a coupon code for this foundation. Even if it doesn't apply, they will still give you a discount for trying to use a coupon code. Coupon Codes
Let me start by saying that this foundation was a pure impulse buy. I was convinced that this was going to be my new "holy-grail" foundation after watching what seemed to be video after video about how amazing this product this. What sold me was the coupon code and the free shipping, I thought, "heck, why not? It's drugstore price!"
This foundation meets all my expectations, drugstore and high-end. Although I've only tried a handful of both expensive and inexpensive foundations, I know what looks good and works on my skin. I typically fall under the oily/combination skin type and this foundation claims to keep oil at bay, without looking cakey.

I put this foundation to the test today, and I've been wearing it for a good eleven hours. So far, my makeup still looks flawless and airbrushed. I'm not super shiny and I haven't touched up with any powder or blotting papers throughout the day.
I was also pleasantly surprised by how well this shade matched my skin tone. Buying a foundation online isn't an easy task, but it worked out pretty well this time. Normally, I wear the shade "W2" in L'Oreal True Match, shade "light neutral" in Tarte's Amazonian Clay foundation, and the shade "Deauville" in Nars Sheer Matte. If you wear any of those shades, then F100 would possibly work for you. I also have to say that I have warm/yellow undertones and if you are someone who has a cool undertone, I doubt that this foundation would work for you because it is geared towards warmer skin tones. The only problem I see with this foundation is that it may become too dark for me to wear in the winter time. If this happens, I will probably mix this foundation with some of my L'Oreal True Match.
The consistency of this foundation looks thick, but it glides on smooth and effortlessly; it didn't feel heavy at all.

My Favorite Way to Apply:
With a synthetic brush or sponge (Beauty Blender)
I wouldn't recommend applying this foundation with your fingers, just because it isn't a super thin foundation and it looks much more airbrushed when applied with a brush or sponge.
My Rating
I gave this 4/5 stars because this foundation really does a good job of looking natural, however, I still have to use quite a bit of concealer to cover my acne scars or dark spots. Still, it's a really great foundation.
