This is one of my favorite foundations, although it does have its drawbacks. I love the coverage, and the price is $22, so it's not too bad. The drawbacks are 1) you have to buy the sponge, 2)...

I won't be buying this foundation again, or at least for a while, but I have found it to be good. I use it as spot foundation and "lightener" (I have acne-prone skin, acne scars & enlarged pores...

Ugh, how does this keep getting into Instyle's top 100? It's very dry, meaning it drags on the skin and highlights flakies I didn;t even know I had. It looks unnatural when I apply it, and melts...

I think that I have found my HG Foundation. I love this stuff. I really like a creme to powder formula that I can just smear on my face to cover redness and acne. I used Clinique City Base for a...

This was my foundation for a long time, before I moved to a very humid area and my skin turned oily. It is the only product that matched my skin perfectly and covered any blemish, freckle, scar,...

This is a thick cake foundation that dries to a powder finish. If you are looking for full coverage, look no further. Personally, I use this as a concealer, and it works great. If you are...

554, 754 – nice colours, great coverage, not too matte, not too shiny – beautiful, absolutely water-proof, very quick & easy to apply, but smudges easily and probably looks a bit heavy (but I don’t...

Great foundation that also works as a concealer. I usually wear sheer to medium coverage foundations, I bought Nobara for bad skin days only, but this stuff is addictive. Gives excellent coverage,...

I have this in 545. The colour matching is pretty spot on and the creamy texture doesn't bother me at all, given that I'm a combo that is veering towards dry-just on my cheeks. Like other...

I dislike this as a foundation. It causes breakouts and oily skin and applied with a sponge it goes on unevenly- and i don't like using fingers. i tried it as a concealer under the eyes but it...

I finally found a wonderful match to my skin in #564. This is wonderful but I use it only as a concealer. I think its too cakey to use all over my face. Having said that, it is so pigmented and...

Nice product, I use it as a concealer. It's very pigmented, so it's important to find a perfect color match. 554 was perfect for my slightly tan stila 40 watt skin. Covers everything, natural...

I'm golden olive and find many foundations are either too green, too pink, too yellow or too orange. Shade 754 is a near-perfect match and covers everything I don't want to see. Nobara gives major...

I couldn't find a shade that matched me but I liked this product. It has very good coverage. My only concern is that it seems to be oil based so I don't know if this will clog pores.

I love this foundation. It lasts all day and rarely needs touch-ups. It's also very easy to vary how much coverage you get - though a lot of people here seem to think it's too heavy for all over....
