I think that this product is really good but it's more like a personal product it has to fit you skin perfectly in order for you to like it and i found my perfect shade so I really love it and I would definitely buy it again. It also blends with your skin really well and you can't tell you have makeup on. the texture is almost like smooth cream to me and it feels right, not sticky or thick.

I like this product, its not amazing but its alright for days where i cant be bothered taking time to apply my liquid, i just whip it out and apply it with the sponge it comes with. But i do love the packaging its so shiney and especially with the mirror, its easy to take with you on the go. It lasts a long time and maybe just once through out the day.

This is just ok. I don't put it all over my face, since I don't want to take the risk of having a massive breakout like a teenager. However, I do like this for use as an under eye concealer. This seems to do the trick for what I need it for, but like other reviews have said, I had a hard time finding the right shade and ended up a little lighter than I would have liked.

The only saving grace this product has is the packaging. Its nice, sleek, has a mirror and travels well. But if you want quality you should go elsewhere. I have combination skin, but I'm mostly dry. I couldnt believe how oily I looked 3 hours in. It sat in all the creases, and looked very chalky. 3 days in my face is horribly broken out. Deep cystic blemishes that hurt when you touch the area. Beware if you are ance prone. Beware if you are combination-oily skin. Cheap at $6 a hit, but not even worth the amount of stress it could do to your skin!

Ok, this stuff is great. It was very easy to find the right shade, the coverage was flawless without looking caked up, and the packaging was perfect. With powder to finish, I couldn't believe how beautiful it turned out. The only downside is that it accentuated dry skin, and made flakes and dry spots stand out like crazy.

This stuff is ok... just ok. It has kind of a sticky texture and can make your face pretty dry looking. The shades are a bit unnatural looking and very limited. I found it difficult to find my shade and ended up with one that was a bit too light. But I see that with all Max Factor foundations.

I love this product, but always end up getting a shade or two lighter than needed. I doubt they have my color.If you want a nice coverage here is your foundation. Dont not buy if you want a glossy finish.PLEASE MAKE NEW COLORS!

Ugh, if I want to look 20 years older, I'll slab this stuff on my face. It completely robs my skin of smoothness and makes my skin appear rough, dry, and flaky. I can't for the life of me apply this product evenly. What a disappointment.

I started using this way back like 6 years ago. Stopped using it for a while- dont know why, it did its job- traded it off for Mac. It does have a short list for colors. I think they range from pale pink to a dark yellow toned but no darker than that. I used champagne, their most yellow based pale color they have in the line and I'm an NC25- perfect match! It made my pores dissappear, my skin tone evened out, pretty much made my oily acne proned skin look flawless. If your skin is oily itll make your face look a bit dewy but thats good cause itll look more natural on instead of fake. It didnt make me break out like Macs does. Highly recomended for the datenight look. I will be buying a new one soon to start wearing it again.

I actually bought this to wear over my Pan Stik instead of loose powder, and so far, I'm loving the two together. I gave it a 4 because it can get a bit shiny after only an hour or so. But the packaging is nice, I can throw it in my bag and not worry about the outside cracking, and the mirror is nice for touch ups. It wasn't too hard to find the correct shade, but they do go on darker than the Pan Stik - I had to buy the one lighter than my usual shade. It might seem odd to wear two types of foundation but I have pretty uneven skin, and this works miracles!

I only tried this once. This one is identical to Cover Girl's Ultimate finish liquid to powder foundation. It feels very sandy on the skin. It does not settle in the skin instead it just sits on top of it. Under the sand, there is cream and grease. The coverage is light to medium. It made my dry skin area into patches. I may try it again, but not at this time.

I really like the coverage and the finish of this product but I can't find my shade. Also, the label on mine says "Liquid to Powder" but it's a creme. Weird. Anyway, they need to copy L'oreal's True Match line.

I purchased this in Light Champagne. I have used this color in their pressed powder and looked great! but in the liquid to powder it was a little too light. Packaging looks like normal packaging...nothing special. I am going to exchange this for another color.. Keep a look out for my update review on this product!
UPDATE: Decided this is not a product for me... Cannot find a good color match and coverage was too light for what i was looking for... Will stick with my Pur Minerals!

I bought this a few weeks ago as I was out of my HG Dior Hydrating concealer in #410 and I can't get it here without ordering it online. (I use the Dior as my foundation.) In my need for some makeup to pinch hit while my order of Dior got here, I used this foundation in 003 which I believe is champagne something. Like some of the other reviewers, it's just okay---it does leave me a bit chalky looking and I think I even prefer Cover Girl's cream to powder foundation better, but I bought this one because it seemed more "yellow-based" than the typical CG. Would I buy it again? Only if I were out of Dior and knew I would be getting more soon! ***UPDATE***Okay, this stuff really isn't great at all-once I got my Dior refill I realized anew how crappy this stuff is by comparison. I would buy Cover Girl's brand over this one unless I was just desperate and couldn't get my hands on Dior or Cover Girl's.

Even though i wouldn't buy again in this color, i love the texture and the mirror it comes with is really great. the makeup is good for those with just minor acne who want to even out skin tone. it goes on smooth and doesn't change colors. I got cooling bronze and it went on too light. Its the darkest color they have so i'll have to try something else.

This works well as a sheer foundation, but also can be built up to a opaque concealer if necessary.

This stuff sucks pretty much beyond measure. It leaves little light-colored flakes in my pores and makes my skin look rough and old. The finish is just so bad. Foundation is supposed to make you look better, not worse!

Okay, this will basically make you look like a pretty porcelain doll. Which I ain't knockin perse, but it's a bit much in the day time. Nice for the evening. I discovered this product 10 years ago when my aunt (who's a model and has FLAWLESS skin anyway) came to stay with us for a week. She always looked so perfect. What's that say about me? Perfection has it's place! How bout perfection occasionally, and natural most the time?
