    I like this makeup. I am 20 years old, brown hair, fair skin, and green eyes. I have rosacea, red cheeks, and a few breakouts across my chin, and the occasional zit when I'm on my period. I used...

    I revisited this product after several years. I once remembered this foundation to be heavy and oil producing, but it is working out really well. I am in my "early 30's" and have fair to medium...

    This foundation started out great. I have combo skin and was looking for something a tad more hydrating than the powder base. The coverage is buildable and I had no problem finding a good color...

    A foundation I remembered fondly from high school, and I wanted the convenience of a compact cream foundation, so I decided to give it another try. This is just far too greasy. It smooths on...

    This foundation was horrible for my skin. When i first put it on my skin looks flawless and beautiful. but after a few mins it looks like a very thick cakey mess. it slides off my face way too...

    I used to wear Total Finish for years. I stopped when my face starting getting oily in the t-zone due to hormones. I have recently started using it again for the winter. It is just as nice as I...

    I have used Total Finish since I was 18 years old and I am now 49. I have good genetics and have good skin to start with, but I believe that Total Finish has played a huge role in my skin looking...

    This is a good cream for dry, mature skin. For me, the best way to apply is dot on the face with your finger, then blend, blend, blend with a foundation brush. ME foundation brush is wonderful for...

    I have pretty decent skin..just a little uneven so I don't need anything heavy like this but I really love the finish it gives me! It made my face look airbrushed! It can be a little annoying to...

    I really didn't like this stuff...It's really thick and I feel like I dipped my face in oil. I would not recommend this stuff to anyone.

    I agree that if you put this on like other compact products, it might look masklike. First thing to do after cleaning face is to moisturize your face. I found that if you pat the product with...

    I really like this make up on my dry skin and fine lines. It has heavy coverage which I just seem to favor. It covers the pores on my nose too. The only problem with this make up is that it...

    This stuff is great, but it's more of a niche product. This is what you use when you want a serious cover up. I used it in my teens when I had so many red spots from acne. No one had any idea my...

    I've tried pretty much all of Merle Norman's foundations with some expections to the newer ones on the market. Total Finish is a very, very heavy makeup. It is used for people that have extremely...

    I'm one of those people who's spent a fortune trying different foundations. I thought I would not be able to use this since it's a creme and I tend to break out. But this does not break me out, and...
