I received this through a blog sale and I have to say I love this product.  I wanted to try it out and also use in my kit.  I tested the product on myself and also used it for my first photo shoot.  The model was a little lighter than me and it worked perfectly.  The color did not change on me or the model.  The shoot was for less than 10 hours so I can not verify if it lasted for 15 hours on the model and I usually wear foundation for 12 hours or less.  It did last for 12 hours on me with no color change.  It does not provide heavy coverage as stated by the description, but since I don't need heavy coverage it works great for me.  As far as my kit, this product works great.  Ninety percent of the models I have worked on don't need heavy coverage... maybe medium.  I actually prefer creams and then liquid foundations.  As far as MAC foundations... full coverage is still my favorite for myself and my kit. I also like to mix my foundations instead of purchasing the whole range of colors. Pro Longwear has a decent color range that I can work with.
