I always come back to this foundation, and I have tried everything. It has the best coverage without being heavy, and it looks so natural. The only negative is the lack of colors, and they...

I have been using this product for about 15 years, with occasional try-outs of other high end brands. Nothing equals this stuff. Enlighten is smooth, sheer and it retains it's moisture all day....

I used to use this foundation years ago and I decided to begin wearing it again, since I used to love it. Maybe the bottle I got was old, because this broke me out unlike anything else I've ever...

I bought this about a year ago in #16 Neutral Ivory. It does smell like paint, and the open-top dispenser does seem unsanitary, but otherwise this stuff is great. Goes on really smoothly and...

I loved this foundation...that being said, it is unfortunate that Estee Lauder has given such poor color selection for this product. I am light complected with warm tones and very red cheeks. ...

I love the color selection, the light coverage, and quality of the product, but it was too dry for my normal, winter-dry/summer-combo skin. It accentuated dry spots and didn't blend well for me. ...

Very good product that doesn't collect in pores , thus not creating a "painted look " but instead an ultra natural one. Also non oily , yet moist enough to apply evenly maybe due to silicones....
