TL;DR — Reddit consensus
Drugstore foundation praised for non-oily, all-day coverage, but only lasts 2 hours on truly oily skin.
Amazon vs Reddit
Amazon loves it. Reddit isn't sold.
On Amazon: ★4.6 from 83,274 reviews — that's roughly 90% positive.
On Reddit: 40% of 44 redditors recommend it.
The gap of 49 points is unusual and worth reading the cons before you buy.
