I have been wanting to try this foundation for a while and my sister recently bought it for me. It's a nice foundation and it matches me well, not perfectly, but not bad either. Not being able to see a good swatch or test out products is what keeps me away from Avon, but I guess we got lucky and ordered the right shade.
Here are some pictures:

My thoughts:
I like this foundation. I am not sure if it's because of the claimed skin matching pigments, or because I lucked out but this matches me pretty close. I struggle with matching my skin to foundation because I am not an NC15 but I am not an NC20 either, and I am not yellow or pink and definitely not neutral. I was able to wear this and not worry about the dreaded jawline ;)
Coverage:
In my opinion, this is medium-full to full coverage. Definitely buildable. It applies smoothly and evenly. It DOES feel weighless, as if you have nothing on. That is what I love about this foundation, perfect coverage and application and the 'no makeup' feel I get from it.
Lasting Power:
It lasted all day on me in the AZ heat. I do however, use a primer on my T-zone, and an oil controlling powder. I have oily skin and this did not streak or aggravated the issue at all.
Packaging:
This is one of the things that I love the most. It has a pump that dispenses the proper amount, so there is no waste really. the bottle is also sturdy and heavy glass.
Rating: 5/5
I will definitely buy this again!
Thick swatch, blended out.
I am wearing this foundation, and I used Rimmel translucent setting powder over it
