This is a nice product, but it isn't for me. I am between two colors, and it is too much of a hassle for me to mix little bits of foundation before I wear it. I am not convinced that this...

I'm impressed with this product. I got the trial size and like this one better than the extra coverage because it looks much less matte. The color I got was a little light for me so I ordered the...

Great foundation for dry skin. I have T-Zone, so I use it along with the other two formulas, but for my cheeks and under eyes, it can't be beat. Just takes a little practice to apply, but once...

For a full-coverage foundation, this one is hard to beat. That is, unless you count ease of use =) Definitely a learning-curve involved in applying; you need such a TINY amount for your whole...
