I really wanted this to be my holy grain, but it is only close. I wear portfoilo pale - it matches really well, but leaves me looking very flate - I NEED to wear blush with this. I love the...

My skin did not like this foundation--I got awful, awful breakouts after trying this so I won't be using (let alone buying) this again. I couldn't get a color match and coverage was uneven. I'm...

This foundation has been a godsend for me. My skin has recently turned unpredictably sensitive, and will on occasion reject anything I put on it - sunscreen, powdered mineral makeup, moisturizer. I...

Nice finish and much better coverage than powdered MMU. I agree that it's hard to spread, but it was easy to thin with moisturizer. Although I'm often safe with the lightest shade in any given...

I tried this makeup thinking it would be a nice change of pace (I use Jane Iredale mineral makeup), and easy to toss into my purse. I do not like it at all. First, the colors are yellow based,...

Illuminare is a liquid mineral base. One of the best things about this is it's very versatile. It is highly pigmented so a tiny (and I mean TINY) bit covers my entire face to a flawless finish. You...

My skin has been very dry lately so I need a foundation that felt comfy & dewy on skin. I usually used Becca LSC but it's not moisturising enough now. I remembered that I have a sample of this in...

I bought this in Florentine Fair. The coverage is ok, but do not like the extra coverage tube they sent with it. It is too heavy & feel it was a waste. Also I have trouble with the tubes. They...
