Try before you buy!

I thought BE sounded perfect, because I have combination/oily skin. (FYI, I am Asian, early forties, tanned skin and freckles but frequently told I look 30s or even late 20s.) So I tried it at Sephora, including having someone help me blend and apply it.

I looked TERRIBLE! It brought out wrinkles under my eyes that I didn't even know I had. Somehow the powder clung to the wrinkles and accentuated them. I do use light powder sometimes, but just on my nose and forehead. My comment to the shop assistant was, "I thought makeup was supposed to make me look better, not worse." She pointed me back towards liquid foundation.
