I found that this porduct worked really well on my skin. I generally have rather oily skin, and it did not cause many breakouts to occur after use. The shade matched my skin tone near perfectly, and it just has an overall subtle, gentle, natural look and feel about it. I would recommend it, and I will most likely purchase it again some time in the future.

This is a very sheer foundation. It seems more like a TM than liquid foundation. It smells nice. It has lavander oil and SPF 8. Base 2 is a bit light for me. I don't know if I will repurchase(it hasn't broken me out yet). The packaging is nice b/c it has a pump! Hallelujah! I got this for $5 at ULTA. I would recommend this.

I've never purchased a foundation that I was absolutely un-able to wear in public... until now.
I was really happy about finding a foundation that had lavender oil in it. I've used lavender oil before to help with acne flair ups.
This foundation is like water. I tried applying it with my foundation brush and my fingers but nothing helped.
I'm going to try Blooms mineral foundation next and I'll hopefully have better results!

I love the smell of this foundation and the tone 2 is not too bad for my light olive skin but the product is more like a tinted moisturiser, not a foundation.

I have this foundation and I can tell that its excellent. It has very nice soft lavinder/herb smell. It has nice consistency and looks beutiful and natural when you put it on. However, this is not for those who want to cover pimples and blimishes, it is more for nice skin which needs a bit of perfection. I have also realised it gives me very nice illumination and doeasnt wear off easily. I also have new revlon colourstay active which I use on more rainy days when I need more cover, but I definetly prefer blooms. I will definetly buy again.

Alright, I bought this in a little boutique shop in Shade 4 (there weren't very many to choose from, but this blends PERFECTLY in my skin). I love it! It has a nice smell, although it might be too much for some people. It blends smoothly and makes your skin look nice and dewy. **NOTE**: If using this, prep your skin to allow best coverage. I have slightly dry skin with maybe minor acne problems during The-Time-Of-The-Month but I do have some marks from when I was thirteen and thought I should scrape off all acne with my fingernails. Yeouch! Other than that, my skin is pretty okay except for maybe sallowness. Yeah, so after I use this, I use Stila perfecting concealer because coverage is pretty minimal (which is good if you want to keep a natural look), and I'm good to go! =]

This is now my standard foundation - I love it. I even love the smell! On properly prepped skin, it gives me a wonderfully even, natural finish.
I use it with a little Laura Mercier Secret Camoflage concealer on breakouts and Bobbi Brown concealer under my eyes, as I don't like to have heavy coverage all over. I have combination/oily skin and prep my skin with a light moisuriser or Beauty Flash Balm on special occasions.
I use Base Two which is very similar to Bobbi Brown's Ivory shade. It is creamier and more forgiving that then BB foundation, I find. In midsummer I sometimes switch up to Base Three. It's a shame there aren't more colours in the range...
1 lippie removed on packaging because the lid always breaks, but the pump-action bottle is very good.

i bought this three times before i found something better but only because i was young and just started out with makeup and didn't know better. i didn't like the fact that it tingled and smelled but the color was good enough so, at the time i said what the hell. i hate the lack of coverage (for my oily acne-prone [read: acne-filled + scarred] skin) but since it is tinted moisturizer, it's up to you. i used to sell bloom at my salon (discounts!) so i tried a lot of their products. honestly, i don't really like bloom. most of their product cost is made up in the packaging. their products performance is okay but nothing worth its retail value. most of their product are very sheer, like this foundation. if anything, their strong points are in their eye shadow...good choice of colors and texture. i tried their concealer = boo! color cream = blah! lip glaze = ugh! mascara = yuck! overall, this product is good if you have relatively clear skin and/or need help with mild redness or skin dicoloration. pump the foundation into your hands and wait a while. as it thickens, it creates a better coverage while maintaining its sheerness. but ultimately i don't recommend this at all, considering its price and value (or there lackof).

This is one of my favourite foundations. It's light and neutralizes the redness in my face. It doesn't feel heavy or cakey and looks very natural. Some people find it oily but I don't. And I have combination skin. The pump is good and sanitary. It also has SPF 8.

This is a very sheer foundation that only provides minimal coverage, so it's good if your skin is pretty good but you may want something heavier if you want more coverage. It blends quite well and matte but sometimes it's a little "bitty" when you're rubbing it in. I quite like the pump dispenser though the product doesn't seem to have lasted all that long (probably because I use more since I want more coverage). My friend tells me this foundation looked more natural than my other one (Almay) so bonus points for that. Won't be re-purchasing again though.

I have dry skin and after moisturizing, this foundation goes on very smooth and gives my skin a great finish. I love the scent too. My only complaint is that the pump is hard for me to work to get the exact amount that I want. I thought that I had fairly light skin, but I wear Base 2 and it looks great.

My skin gets so oily that I use a powder foundation. I got this as a sample and luckily I tried it on a day when I was being lazy at home. It didn’t blend well and seemed to just sit on top of my skin rather than give a flawless, natural look. It also grabbed any dry patches. It did stay surprisingly matte but as it hadn’t blended well I didn’t have even coverage. Am not a fan of any lavender-scented product, either. Would not buy.

Like most Bloom products, this stuff smells wonderful - a delicate lavender scent which is really soothing as you apply it.
Other than that, it's a lot like Stilla's liquid foundations, but a little more sheer. The price is slightly cheaper and I prefer it, although I wouldn't say it's perfect... it can look a little heavy as with most full-cover foundations.
Overall, it's the best I can afford and I'll certainly keep using it!

When i tried this on my jawline in the shop I was delighted, despite the £20/$30 price:
This foundation smells good,being scented with lavender essential oil.. The container is simple plastic with a pump. I bought "base 1" which is the palest. It is fine for me (fff). It has an spf of 8. All good so far.
But when I applied it all over my face at home it clumped and peeled and flaked off my primed, moisturized skin. Dunno what the problem is but it is most disappointing.

Received a sample from a nice Aussie swapper. My first try of a Bloom product. Disappointing as a foundation because the coverage is so light and I also found it too greasy. It's wonderful for someone with flawless skin and although I have a pretty nice complexion (lots of work!), it's still not enough coverage for me.

Although the packaging of this product was fairly ordinary, it was the only foundation I could find that was pale enough for my skin. It is also very fresh and light.

I only bought this because of the lovely lavender scent. It is very thin, and the coverage is minimal. Tends to streak easily. Advantages are its vacuum-pump packaging, and its lightness on the skin. Unless you want to use it as a tinted moisturizer, this so-called 'foundation' serves not much of a purpose. I could get a better and more effective product at half the price.

Ugh. I'm glad I got a sample of this b/c I don't think it does anything. It smells okay, but otherwise it offers no coverage and the finish is difficult to get even. I think my skin actually ended up looking worse after applying this and I used a foundation brush. As in this foundation did nothing to even out my skin tone and made my face look streaky as in areas of shiny and areas of more matte finish. Ugh. Becca's LSC is worth the extra $$ if you want light coverage. Or try MUFE face and body.

This is the most divine foundation I've come across. It blends beautifully into my skin, creates a wonderful no makeup look and blends minor blemishes quite well. The product smells clean and fresh and is easy to apply using your fingers. The pump dispenser is clean and easy to use and the packaging is great (except the lid always breaks after a few weeks which is mildly annoying). Nonetheless I will most definetly be purchasing again!

Very cool looking bottle, and very cheap. However, the quality just wasn't up to scratch. It went on with light coverage but was fairly hard to blend, I tried using both my fingers as well as a sponge (didn't even bother with a brush because I knew it'd be even harder!). There aren't many colors in the range so consider yourself lucky if you get an exact color match. Pleasant scent though, and didn't make me feel oily later during the da y.
