I've been using this foundation for almost 4 years now, and I must say no matter how many foundations I try, I always come back to this one. It's cheap, it reminds me to the Mac Face&Body but it looks more matt and perfecting to me. It feels light and it didn't get me oilier that any other foundation. I even share this with my mom, and the tone that we have fits both of us as it sets amazing to your skin tone. I set it with a bit of Mac studio fix (any other powder will work if you have oily skin) and it lasts about 5h even in summer (I live in Madrid, so we have pretty hot summers).

I used to use it 2 years ago, but dumped it, and here are some reasons why.

-So, the first thing I'd like to mention about this foundation is that it's freaking SHINY. It looks awful. You can set it with a powder, whatever.
But the truth is that it doesn't really last long (3-4 hours) and tends to get super oily, especially on your t-zone.
-The coverage is light to medium, I would say, but it doesn't really cover any serious problems. It's like you're applying something pretty oily on your face, simply smudging it all over.
Of course, you can try to apply more and more of the product, but I wouldn't suggest that.

I like to use this foundation mixed with a dollop of moisturizer. It brightens my face and looks very natural, which is, of course, the desired effect.
It doesn't have a particularly great coverage but if you're looking for a product that will level out your skin tone and leave you with a gloriously satin smooth skin, look no further.

I don't usually wear foundation but when I DID by this one I bought it with the intention of wearing it for competitions and stuff like that.

I am not satified with the outcome, maybelline is usually a good line, but it's too runny, you shouldn't use it straight out of the tube, warm it up on the back of your hand.

The range is minimal (as it ususally is with drugstore lines), I bought nr 24 and it was too light even in my winter coating when I am at my pale state. I have combo skin with slightly oily forehead, AVOID if you are prone to dry skin. I started flaking around my mouth. This product only ALMOST work if you have oily skin.

This is not a bad foundation. I am happy with the coverage, it's light enough for me but yet when I have imperfections on my skin, it covers then well. I like the matte finish it has and the fact that it lasts really long. It doesn't make my skin oily. But what I hate about it the fact that the colors are way too limited and even the lightest color is still too dark for me and I can wear it only in summer. That's why I probably wouldn't buy it again and I would look for a color that matches my skin tone better.

This is a very foundation, and at least for me, a safe bet.
It blends with my skin tone really well and dries into a very nice finish. Coverage is medium and looks really natural. I haven't had any problems with it.

A very liquidish concistancy, which dries up into an matte finish. Easy to blend with (fingers go best) and an medium to high coverage. Does not break out my skin. Overall look is nice. Only thing some may be sensitive is the awful smell or the bottle/tube in which it's very hard to control on how much you want to get out from it (comes in literally a hole which lets out the foundation in large amount, unless you have quick reflexes).

my on the go foundation...
it is a marvelous textured liquid foundation that is perfect for blending with a stippling brush!!
it spreads evenly,no mess-no stress....my colour is Golden, a wonderful medium, yelow based shade that covers perfectly!!
it is definitive a medium cover foundation, very thin in consistency, very comfortable on the skin...it really kinda gives you airbrushed look, velvety skin and the shades are great for my NC 30 skin!!
I adore this drugstore foundation, it lasts for hours on my face, doesnt make my skin oily, and it is dirty cheap...

one of my 5 absoluteHG foundations!!

Even though I don't have a problematic skin, my T zone gets shiny at the end of the day. This is my favourite foundation with a colour matches with my skin very well. It stays dry for a long time, of course not untill forever. Even a small amount makes me feel smooth and light. If you dont have too much problem with your face, I can suggest this product. It is easily removed and doesn't cause acnes if you clean your face well.

I was exited when i found first time not pinky foundation, so I bought even two tubes of this product. I did a mistake.

Package is horrible, messy and many times product run out of tube.

Color is bad bad if you are pale. I swear it's orange!

Price is not bad, have seen more expensive crap.

At the end I got rid of this product because it's drying, made me look orange and because of its very runny texture.

Never again!

I bought this foundation before a date, when I was in a rush to cover my skin imperfections with something. I have the lightest colour, Light Porcelain, which is okayish for my pale skin, but still a tad too yellow.
The foundation is really liquid and drips from the tube too easily if you open it. What really disappoints me about it is that it ALWAYS makes my skin get flaky. Always. It looks like a mask on me, and makes my skin look dry, lifeless and flaky, no matter how much moisturiser I apply beforehand. Also, it does a terrible job at covering acne and imperfections.

I should have bought the Affinitone Mineral, that one is definitely a better version (and more expensive).

This is in every way an amazing foundation. However I find it difficult to prevent the liquid from coming out of the container since it did not have a proper slot which the liquid could come out. The coverage of this foundation would be light to medium. At first applying this, it looked smooth and matte. However after twenty minutes or so it started to fade a bit into a more light category so I would suggest a powder with it. It was really easy to blend out, but I would suggest to do it quick since it drys really fast. Like any foundations, it lasted a good four hours before you needed to gently wipe out the oil from your skin. I definitely felt that my skin was dehydrated at first so I would most likely recommend this to dry skin without loose skin cells.

This foundation used with the right brush tends to blend well, leaves no patches behind had a sheer coverage and matches my skin tone well. The lasting isn't long but given it's a drugstore thing, I didn't expect wonders either.

The only downside is being prone to oxidation so be wary not to apply it on a moisturizer that tends to intensify your skin pigmentation.

Good coverage, never left dry patches on my normal skin (that tends to get oily by the end of the day), leaves a nice matte finish. The price is great and it's a great product, really, but I don't think I'd buy it again because of the horrible packaging - it always leaked.

It has a good coverage. But when I put it on it highlights my dry patches. But further it looks natural. It stays very long, but after a few hours it turns much darker and orange!!! (I have shade 09 opal rose)

Since they discontinued my favorite drugstore foundation (Bourjois Matt Lovely) I was in need of a new cheap foundation. I came across with Maybelline Affinitone at my local drugstore, at a reasonable cheap price. I picked the lighest shade and I thought it was a bit darker for my skin, but it blended perfectly with my skin tone. Overall, it's a good foundation, it stays all day and looks natural. Sometimes it feels a bit heavy on my skin, so I just mix it with my moisturizer to make it lighter.

In the beginning I thought that this foundation will be for me. I do have very light skin tone. After I bought it, I tried it at home. And it just didn't match my skin tone. It's too yellowish or something.
And it dries really fast on my skin.
Ahh, I'm just not really good into describing products/things.

Amazing! Somehow on me this is incredibly matte, the ONLY foundation that kept my skin the way I wanted it for such a low price. I do love Toleriane from La Roche-Possay, but I can't always afford it, as it costs about 20 euros. Affinitone was wonderful, it was on sale when I bought it, I am the 42 dark beige. On me it had a powdery finish, just a hint of fragrance that wears off in seconds, the staying power is about 6 hours when topped with powder, the coverage is really good, helped me hide some nasty breakouts and it felt light on the skin. So it's great to get something for less than 8 euros that gets the job done right. My only complaint is the consistency, it's incredibly liquid and you might end up squeezing out more than you need if you're not careful. Other than that, I will be repurchasing.

I like this! I have yellowish undertones, and this foundation is perfect for my shade, it has medium coverage but I mix it with Dior Forever foundation for a perfect radiance. It stay for 5-6 hours . The only weakness of this foundation: it's comedogenic
