This is my HG foundation. I've been using it for over two years. It is the only foundation that I've tried that doesn't irritate my skin. I suffer from acne-prone and overly sensitive skin, and...

I have found my HG foundation. I have quite oily skin, and even with Double Matte I need to blot my face mid-day and reapply powder. But the texture is excellent, and the color match is the best...

Looks chalky at first, doesn't stay matte, on the expensive side. It seemed to sink into my pores after a while. I have oily skin and this wasn't a good foundation for me.

I love this foundation. First, I am a PPP w/ oily t-zones area. This works great! It covers flaws effortlessly, while evening out my skin's appearance. I haven't had any problem with cystic bumps...

I cannot do without this foundation. It is great for my oily skin because it reduces the appearance of shine and even has a SPF of 15. Other foundations I have tried with a SPF made my skin look...

I so much want to be able to wear this! However, there is NO color close enough to my skin and don't think it is worth it to try to buy 2 and try to mix and match until I get the right shade. ...

Love the coverage and the oil control is the BEST but the colors are a bit orange on my olive skin. I used this for along time & tried mixing but got tired of all the work involved.

I love this. It gives me long lasting, medium coverage, but natural matte finish. The trick is applying with fingertips. I found that if you wear it, along with Double Wear, with a brush or a...

This is a good foundation and the Warm Bisque was perfect on my Asian skin but the coverage was a little heavy for me. It covered my pores (which is good). The finish was definitely matte, too much...

This stuff is matte and makes you look almost unnatural. It also made my large pores more noticable.

I have extremely oily/acne prone skin, and this foundation did control oil all day, I did not have to touch it up at all. However, it's heavy and "sticky" - it dries very quickly and is very hard...
