The foundation literally disappears as soon as it hits your skin. The liquid 'magically' turns into powder. It gives you enough time to blend it into your skin. It doesn't turn 'powdery' or leave behind residue. It feels like it melts into your skin leaving behind soft, even looking skin. As I have mentioned before on here, I have several skin issues. This evens out the redness, covers blemishes and gives a healthy look to my skin with a slightly matte finish.
This foundation just looks so natural on my skin. It blends in perfectly and lasts all day while I'm at work. One way I judge foundations or creams is by my cell phone. In the afternoon, when Im NOT sitting in my car at a red light on my phone to my husband, I check my phone after I hang up with him. Some foundations leave behind a film of foundation on the screen. Even if I have been running around all day at work, I don't leave a foundation film on my phone with the Magic nude. To me that is a great indicator that my makeup has stay put all day and my skin is not oily. I highly recommend this foundation to anyone looking to try something new or looking for a foundation to smooth the look of their skin, give them a slightly matte finish and to stay put for 6+ hours.
