I must say, I am quite surprised to how many people have had a negative comment towards this foundation!
Personally, I felt this foundation was very good! It does not look as good when you first apply it, but it looks really nice when it settles.. However, this is one of those foundations that should be applied with a foundation BRUSH because it is a thick foundation. When I apply it... 6 hours later my skin still looks glowing.
Although, it's probably not that good to use if your skin in not oily!

My skin is just too oily for this oil-free product. It doesn't feel light when I apply it and though the colours match well to my skin it smudges off and clings to my pores. Unfortunate.

I really like the packaging of this product, because of the pump that lets you control how much product you want to use. But that is all I liked. The foundation turns orange on me, and I look like an orange. When I apply it, I have to work very quickly, since it dries in a split second. I can't even take my time applying it nicely, can't use a stippling brush nor can I seem to blend it nicely... Maybe it's just me but I don't like the product.

The colour recommended to me was too orange for my skin! I got it when my skin was covered in acne and I was using antibiotics and BP. This just accentuated all the bumps and the flaky dry skin and didn't do much for acne...but I don't think it caused any either. It was easy to blend but had a very matte finish...I like a more natural look so won't be getting this again. HE foundations work better on my sensitive skin.

Works well as a general base...matte finish so not great if your skin is dry/peeling. Definitely apply a moisturizer first and maybe a bronzer with a glow over it...if you want to avoid dry/cakey.
Also, you have to work quickly...it's not emollient enough to keep blending since it dries quickly.
Overall, good basic foundation.

I was really looking forward to trying this foundation and had high hopes that it would keep my skin matte and oil free. I am very pale and purchased this foundation in the lightest shade. I applied it with a brush and had to work quickly to blend it as it dries very fast, which is understandable for an oil free foundation. However, what i was disappointed with was the orange colour it left me. So unfortunately another foundation destined to sink to the bottom of my make up bag!

After buying this product and loving it i am so surprised by the negative reviews here. I have mild acne, and this provides fantastic, long-lasting coverage and i have received many comments on how good my sin looks when using this. BUT- DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU HAVE OILY SKIN !!! it will not, as i was told by the sales lady, work well. I have seen people here with dry skin disliking this product - i don't know about you but i read a guide / brochure on their products and it said quite clearly for oily skin only !!! I will definitely repurchase this product :)

I didn't like this foundation at all. It was recommended in a magazine for oily skin and I thought I would try it. I liked the pump which made it easy to get the right amount. It didn't spread very well though. I first started to put it on with my finger and at first thought it was ok. Then I saw a photo of me with it and it looked like I had no make up on at all and made my skin look horrible. I then started use a sponge to put it on which was an improvement but if you put more than one layer (which gives no coverage) it becomes a horrible orange colour! Loads of people were telling me that I had some orange stuff on my face which was humiliating. Would never buy it again.

i hate this foundation!!! it's really hard to apply and blend in, leaving streaks all over your face. the colour is also so bad it makes you look like an orange euggh.i also thought the coverage was quite bad, doesnt cover faint blemishes. However the price isn't bad and it has a pump so it's easy to dispense. But i wouldn't buy this again just because it's that ORANGE!!!

I have oily skin and live in a very humid country. So I don't expect this- or any foundation- to stay on and mattify forever. That said, this holds up wonderfully when used over my daily routine of a mattifying moisturizer and smoothing primer. If I use a layer of sunblock under the primer, it's bound to get oily quickly--inevitable, really, even with a water-based sunblock.
Likes: slight golden iridiscence that is only obvious up close, can be applied with a smattering of the fingers over the face, shade 03 matches my NC20 skintone, dries to matt finish, spf 30.
Beware:
-Dried out the skin around my eyes--looked like I had bad eczema on the sides of my nose. Now I avoid that area.
-Depending on what concealer you put on top of this, it can settle into the pores and make them more obvious.
UPDATE: There are much better foundations out there with matte or semi-matte finishes, that set much better than this one. Such as Bourjois Healthy fruit (apricot-scented) and Estee Lauder Doublewear. Would not repurchase now that I've found better.

This product is not fit for my oily skin as it turns yellower troughout the day. I have experienced that when I wear this foundation on a hot day, it will look like it is melting, and after a short period the consistency turns from fluid to drier, which makes it diffucult to apply. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I agree. It settles into your pores, and makes your pores look highlighted. It is matte but isn't suitable in the summer as it slides over your skin and ends up botchy, there really is no other better way to see it except through photographs where the effect is clearer.

I really like this foundation. I have previously used the Body Shop's moisture foundation and I loved the way it felt and how easy it was to apply, but recently my skin has become oilier and I thought this would suit my skin type better. I was a bit skeptical at first, as I thought it might be a bit more dry and harder to blend in, but it actually feels just as nice as the moisture foundation. It has pretty good staying power, I do get a bit oily after quite a few hours of wearing it but that will happen with any foundation for me, and it is only slight so its not a big deal. I've used my fingers and the Body Shop foundation brush to apply it, and it worked pretty well both ways however there was a smoother finish with the brush, as my fingers left a few marks. Used under the Body Shop nature's minerals foundation it gave me a nice colour without turning orange, and lasts for quite some time. Packaging is perfect.

LOVE BODY SHOP OIL FREE FOUNDATION! I've tried NARS, MAC & make up forever. This is the best as far as natural GLOW & full coverage due to my acne scars. The color is perfect and typically it's hard to find a good match. I have sensitive skin and this product does not make me breakout. It's wonderful!! It last all day and does not make my combination skin oily. The SPF and ingredients do me justice. I get lots of compliments.. :) continued >>

This is the first liquid foundation that i've ever tried..
Not quite usefull to cover dark spots or acne's mark on my skin..
And i agree that this foundation doesnt last long!! Especially i live in south east asia..
The easiest way to perfectly blend this thing , first u have to put a lil bit here and there all around ur face, then blend it with ur fingers, after that finished it with foundation sponge.
But.. it is quite good for daily used..

Ouch!!!!! I loved the color, but the coverage wasnt lasting and worst of all, this burned the hell out of my eyes!!! It felt like I got hand sanitizer in them

I actually didn't own the foundation I've tried, nor have I tried it. I was actually assigned to put foundation on my classmates using this foundation and the TBS foundation brush. It was pretty hard to blend and it looked horrible on some of my classmates.I also took a look at my classmates after quite some time and it looked twice as horrible as the first time I put it on them. It didn't blend well on their noses and it doesn't give good coverage.

I used this product for a while, but it was pretty terrible. It did nothing to help control oil/shine, and it started sliding off my face after about 4-6 hours. It didn't apply evenly, especially on my nose, and didn't cover up blemishes that well. It also made my pores look huge. And, as the day goes on this product oxidizes to look way more orange than when I originally applied it. It didn't break me out, though, I'll give it that. Also, it doesn't really layer well to give you greater coverage. It comes in colors suitable for pale girls, but it still didn't quite match my skin tone.

Omg, worse foundation i have ever used.
it made my skin look ORANGE!
i looked like a damn pumpkin.
the only reason it even got one lippy is because of the pump.
the price is horrible, the color, the texture, everything.
ive tried WAY better foudations at drugstores.
i wouldn't recommend this to anyone,
unless its for halloween.

I'm a little unsure about how I like this foundation. It's hard to blend, smells strongly of sunscreen, dries too quickly, and looks like I obviously have makeup on. But then I mixed it with my Aveeno moisturizer and it got a lot easier to work with. It gives sheer, natural looking coverage with the moisturizer and doesn't make me look oily. It's not shiny at all, which is a plus. I like it now, but it's still annoying to have to mix it every morning.
