This is my HG foundation at the moment. I can't really picture myself finding another since I've switched to using organic products and it was hard enough to find an organic foundation that worked for me. I love this foundation so much I would compare this to MAC. I was using MAC Pro Longwear before this. However, this foundation does not feel heavy to me. I mean it can if you put too much, but a little goes a long way. It does have a pretty strong pink understone but I just deal with it since it works so well. I usually have very oily skin but not so much now that I use this foundation together with Gabriel Cosmetics Dual Powder Foundation to set.

Too many oils = too many breakouts for me too. Foundation hunting is the pits! :-(

I love this foundation because the color Pale Ivory is a perfect match for my skin but I am breaking out - and I am OLD (42). I had acne problems all my life and Accutane finally trumped it but I bought this foundation the other day and I was so looking forward to it but know I have new white heads and pimples! WAH!!! Will WF's take it back?? I spend some of a gift certificate on it. So I hope so. I have very little money right now so I hate to waste a whole expensive bottle of foundation! I wanted to exchange it for the Zuzu Luxe one and see it that works on me instead since it is supposed to be oil free. I really wanted this to work for me since it gives pretty good coverage (good enough for me) and covers up the redness and makes my skin look even. I am worried the Zuzu Luxe won't give me enough coverage as some on here said it didn't cover very well. Well, if you don't break out easily, this is a great foundation and I loved the color and coverage. Damn! It smells nice too.

This broke me out. This gave good coverage, better than my 100% Pure liquid foundation. With this a little goes a long way, and it was the PERFECT color. But after a steady week of using this i started breaking out all over my face, at first I only broke out in my more prone areas so i thought it might be the weather. Then i got 2 pimples on my forehead and whiteheads all over my checks. =/ So disappointed

So disappointed in this foundation! After seeing the positive reviews here on MUA, and reading the excellent ingredients, I was very enthusiastic to try this product. However, there are a lot of problems with it as a foundation. The coverage is minimal -- it does not cover acne, scars, and has the really annoying habit of sinking right into pores and making them look huge. It applies "streaky" -- first I used a foundation brush, and it looked terrible, so I reapplied with my fingers, and that looked a little better. I have somewhat peely skin from Retin-A (not severe, as I've been using Retin-A for nearly a year now), and this foundation just *sits* on the peeling skin and makes it really obvious. After about 2 hours, the foundation is coming off, and what's left looks greasy and patchy. Really not a nice product! I also think it's breaking me out. Very disappointing.

I LOVE this foundation. I've been searching for a silicone-free foundation since the SAs at Laura Mercier opened my eyes to the yuckiness of putting silicone on my skin. I didn't like the Laura Mercier silicone-free foundation, however, it made me look older and dried out. But the Gabriel is wonderful. It's moisturizing and feels/looks natural, like a second skin, but better. It's also long wearing. It's dewy at first and then sets down not into a matte, but natural skin-like. Before this, I used the YSL liquid foundation with the built-in brush for many years. The YSL foundation seemed to improve over the course of the day, which was great, but it's full of silicone. Gabriel's silicone-free formula needs to be put on while your moisturizer and sunscreen are still damp on your face. Do not wait, or blending it will be difficult. The Natural Beige is a near-perfect match for my light/medium Asian skin. True Beige was too dark. Fortunately I was able to return the True Beige to Whole Foods for a full refund. The coverage is light/medium, not heavy. It doesn't make me look like I have make-up on; it makes me look like I have perfect skin! The price is perfect too! Under $30, while YSL was more than double that! Plus, Gabriel has SPF18. The only con that I can think of is that my lid is missing the inside spatula that my True Beige lid had. I highly recommend a try.

I have combination skin with a capital C. I had to have a total hysterectomy at 35 and I'm now on hormone replacement. I have rosacea that affects my nose & chin, making them very acne-prone. My forehead and cheeks are very dry. Now that it's winter and air is drier, the dry areas are pretty bad. Normally I use mineral powder foundation but that wasn't cutting it, so I bought the Gabriel foundation. It does give good coverage and doesn't irritate my skin, but I don't think a "moisturizing" foundation should give a matte finish. It contains kaolin which sucks the moisture from your skin. The good news is that the pale ivory is a great match for my very fair "glow in the moonlight" skin. And if you're looking to reduce shine, this is also great. If you want less coverage, it would be easy to mix this with moisturizer. Not really for me, but a quality foundation.
**UPDATE**
This foundation really does work well with moisturizer. I should listen to my own advice :) continued >>

I love this foundation. I've have tried so many natural foundations with little success. I've stuck by MyChelle cream foundation, and I still love it and will continue to use it when I need less coverage, but Gabriel is the perfect liquid foundation. It's velvety smooth and creamy, and it provides great coverage without looking cakey and unnatural. It's moisturizing and yet doesn't leave my skin looking oily, so it's perfect for my slightly aging skin. It has been so difficult finding a non-toxic foundation that wasn't oily or drying and that provided a decent amount of coverage. Upon trying this foundation, I practically shouted, "FINALLY!"

I just stumbled across Gabriel Cosmetics and have been extremely impressed with their cosmetic products (particularly their concealer, dual powder, and liquid foundation). These are the FIRST natural cosmetics I have tried (and I have tried way too many) that actually give good coverage (without looking "fake"), don't make me a grease-ball, and don't break out my incredibly acne-prone and sensitive skin! :) I have extreme combination skin, dry and flaky in some areas and very greasy in others.
The moisturizing liquid foundation gave surprisingly good coverage by itself (and I have a LOT to cover...acne, acne scars, discoloration, etc). I find it covers smaller acne, redness, and discoloration very well, but if I need more coverage on a particularly large pimple, I just dot the Gabriel concealer overtop and let it dry. I apply the dual powder foundation overtop the liquid foundation and concealer, and this helps to add to the coverage, as well as prevent break-through shine throughout the day.
The texture of this liquid foundation is perfect-- it applies very smoothly, is non-greasy, and dries relatively quickly, leaving a matte finish. I really like that the top of the bottle has a small spatula-like device attached to it-- I use this to apply the foundation directly to my face and then use my fingers or a foundation brush to blend it in.
The ONLY problem I have come across is the selection of colors in the liquid foundation. I have very fair skin with a slight yellow undertone. The natural beige was extremely dark and pink for my skin, while the pale ivory made me look like I had white paint on my face. I solved the problem by mixing the two colors and putting the extra light beige powder overtop (and even then the color was a bit pink, but passable since my yellow tone isn't too deep). If this company were to make a color that is slightly darker than the pale ivory, but lighter than the natural beige, that would be fantastic.
**UPDATE**
I found a more effective natural concealer from Priia Cosmetics, much more pigmentation and longer lasting (see my recent reviews). :)
