I loved on how this foundation glides on smoothly on my skin. However, after being left for certain length of time, it dries out quickly. Recommended for normal to dry skin. Might not work for oily...

I'm just bought my 2nd tube for this foundation. I like the fact that although it's a gel foundation, it's light enough and I don't feel like I'm putting on a "mask". I usually put loose powder...

Goodness gracious, I love this foundation. I have really sensitive skin, and when stuff touches it, it itches like crazy. I used to be unable to tolerate pressed powder even when swirled on with...

I think this product only suitable for those who have dry skin. My skin is oily and this product just gives me more oily look.

For the record, I have dry sensitive skin. I have been using this product on and off since 2005 and love it. It goes on as a smooth continuous gel that gives light coverage and can be layered for...

I have this in the Sand shade. I like this gel foundie because it doesn't break me out and does not clog my pores. This has light coverage, which is good because I never liked the masked effect...

By a beginner's standards, this is a good foundation to have. Sheer and easy to use. While I'd recommend it to friends who haven't gotten into the habit of using makeup, such that a brand of a...

Love, love, love this product. After being a loyal user of the Purestay Liquid Foundation, I decided to try this one mainly because of the "good for your skin" tagline. It is loaded with aloe,...

Great value! It's easy to apply and really smooth, giving a natural look to the skin. It doesn't control oil though. I use light beige shade which matches my skin quite well.

No exact shade available for olive-toned skin, the shades are more pink-based. A bit too drying and becomes chalky and mask-like after some time.

I got a free sample of this a while back. The shade I got was 'Nude' I think that it was a very close match for me. I didn't like this because it made my skin a greyish cast. It looked like I...

Blech! My face looked like a frying pan an hour after I put on the Clear Smooth foundation! I also didn’t like the shade selection. What seemed to be my match ended up mask-like on my skin. Grrr.
