Great for Normal to oily Skin types, wears well on acne prone skin as well. These medium coverage, oil-free foundations work the best on just about anyone. Dry skins should have no problem but double up on moisturizer as heavier foundations tend to stick to dry areas.

Someone looking for a lot of coverage. May be tricky with acne prone skin because many heavier foundations do contain oils, dry and normal skins should wear with no problem.
