I am 59 years old and striving to get a natural look with my foundation and concealer. I used most applications (sponge, brush, etc) and it either ended up looking streaky or my pores showed through. This dual buff and blend system really gave me a much improved looked. You need to make sure you follow the directions but it is so worth it. Even my concealer looked natural and didn't crease or look cakey with light powder of it. I highly recommend this product.
