Hands down, my fave foundation, and I've been through a ton...

take care of my skin, wearing makeup daily, into trying new things

I love this foundation. There are only two cosmetics that really wow me currently, and this is absolutely one of them, the other being Diorshow mascara waterproof formula. When applied to well moisturized, exfoliated skin, my skin looks amazing! It's like magic! I look younger and more vibrant. It gives a very smooth, seamless, luminous look. I remember I read somewhere that makeup artists like to use this one on actors--I think some members of Sex In The City wore this foundation. That being said, I do have to warn you that if you do not get the right color match, or if you apply it too heavily or onto skin that hasn't been properly "prepared," it will not look as good--as with any foundation. It can showcase your flakes if you haven't exfoliated. Another thing is that since I like to apply it onto a well moisturized face, being somewhat on the oily side, I do get a bit shiny later in the day. However, all this is worth it to me, because I haven't found anything that matches this foundation's finish. I did buy the foundation brush they recommended, but in my opinion it's not a necessary purchase, my MAC 190 brush or fingers are quite sufficient. I'm a MAC NC30/C30, and I use 5.5, which is a tad dark and golden for me, so I mix it with a lighter one to get my match. One last thing, this stuff is pricey at $55, but for me, absolutely worth it.
