I think this is a very good foundation. It leaves a dewy finish and it blends very easily. One set back is that it's almost too dewy, you can notice the little glitters. I guess that's the whole point of the foundation, the little flexes of glitter reflect on light from a camera to give you flawless looking skin, but it really makes you look like a ghost... I prefer the colorstay foundation over this one, but they're pretty much the same except colorstay does not have the little flecks of "glitter"

This is my everyday foundation. I love the finish, very natural and gives a nice glow. It is not full coverage but covers my small blemishes well. I wear it during the day only because at night i prefer full coverage. I sweat a lot and foundation does wear off with my sweat and transfers. But It's not that serious. I really like this foundation and will continue using it daily to go to work.

I have tried almost every foundation out there, and I keep coming back to this one. The main reason is because it's relatively inexpensive, I love the packaging, and the color is right. I wear 003 Shell (NC20) and it matches very well. I don't notice much sparkle unless I'm looking very very close, so that's not really a problem. This foundation looks FANTASTIC in pictures and I'm not exaggerating. I make sure I'm wearing this foundation if I know photos are going to be taken. I also like this foundation because it's very blendable and it helps lighten dark pimples marks because of it's shimmer effects. It does not make me breakout, and it lasts on my oily skin with the PhotoReady primer. I actually got complimented by an SA at Sephora and she was shocked I was wearing Revlon foundation. This does compare to MUFE, but MUFE makes me a little oilier than Revlon PR.

I used to LOVE this foundation when it first came out a long time ago. I have extremely fair skin and Photoready was seriously the only brand that made one light enough for me (including high end MU). I loved it back then, it photographed beautifully, and made my face look like a glowy. A week ago I went to ulta, walmart and target to find the 001 shade "ivory" which I guess they've since discontinued (does anyone know the deal with that?) I grabbed 002 Vanilla instead hoping it wouldn't be too much of a difference. Boy was I wrong. I think they've also changed the formula as well, there isn't as much coverage and now I'm getting small white bumps on my cheeks. I never break out, so I'm convinced its from the new formulation. I'm upset because the color oxidizes and it too dark for me! I don't notice the "glitter" that everyone else seems to complain about. I do like the finish it gives as I've recently learned to embrace the dewy look, but I'm really disappointed in the color and formula change. Even with a good primer/powder this doesn't stand a chance for more than 3 hours. I'm sad as this used to be my HG.

I love this foundation!!!!! It's smooth and soft and covers everything nicely without being thick or cake. It's not perfect in the oil control department, but i've never had anything that is, and overall it's a lot better than other things i've tried. It's also fairly natural looking, and I don't know what everyone's so upset about with sparkles because I definitely can't see any. Anyhow this is definitely my new favourite foundation and I would totally purchase it again for its' amazing packaging and more amazing product!!!

I have never ever used a drug store foundation before. I usually go for MAC, MUFE or LM products. But I decided to give this a try after hearing that it provides a light to medium coverage with shimmer. I am a big fan of subtle shimmer in foundations so I got curious and picked this up in shade 005 (I'm a MAC NC30 for reference) and I REALLY love it. I love that this foundation provides a light - medium coverage and it sits thinly on my skin.
As for the shimmer I hardly see any. I've tried to inspect this "shimmer" under various lights but i still don't see it- which i guess is a good thing because u dont want your face looking like a shiny disco ball. It provides my face with a subtle glow and i feel like i have really nice looking well moisturized skin when i put this on.
My favourite foundation at the moment.

I really really loved this foundation. I especially liked to mix it with my Revlon Colorstay. With a 1:1 ration of the two, I got beautiful, glowy, natural looking coverage with the perfect balance of long wearing, mattifying, and moisturizing properties for me. Also, the shade Vanilla is a much better match for me than CS Buff (Vanilla doesn't have any ashy or pink undertones) so mixing the two helped me to correct that. On it's own, the foundation was nice, but a little too sparkly and shiny for my skin type (oily/combo).


The big bummer is that I can't consistently use this foundation, even mixed with the CS. The tiny shimmer particles clog my pores terribly. They get stuck inside and then a few days later my skin is littered with small colorless hard bumps that itch. That's the only reason for the minus two lippies. Such a bummer. :'(

I wore this foundation for years and loved it. Now I use it ocassionally and still like it. I think its one of the best drugstore foundations. Only reason I don't wear it daily is because I wear different foundation each day unless its new and I'm inlove with it. It does have a bit of a sheen to it and is not matte. My skin is combo and very oily on the nose. This foundation lasts a good 6-8hrs without touch up and even towards the end of the day its still not bad. Overall its a good foundation. :)
