i think you should try for yourself to be sure, i have liked stuff others didnt and hated things that had rave
reviews.. as far as your question on the full coverage foundation i thought it was to much coverage for me but i didnt hate it. it last as long as any other foundation maybe even longer
my friend uses it and loves it and it looks great on her, her wearing it is what made me want to try it. i dont think its really a matte foundation either
