I really like this foundation. It's great for my dry skin and is quite moisturizing. Excellent light to medium coverage, stays all day, covers blemishes lightly. Color range is decent. Comparable to dept store brands.

At last! Anti-aging for oily skin! Goes on smoothly, didn't settle in pores or lines, lasts all day and the color match was perfect. 143 Classic Ivory matched my BB Porcelain, LM Porcelain Ivory skin. Wish it hadn't been discontinued. This was the only current L'Oreal foundation I liked. True Match settled into my pores horribly. I'd try the new Visible Lift with Serum version but the reviews aren't stellar and its not for oily skin.

This is NOT FOR DRY SKIN, ok? It says for normal to oily. So don't be a dork. Coverage: sheer, finish:dry. What do I mean that it has a dry finish? This foundation is most like a tinted moisturizer for people with oily skin. And it has SPF, which in a sheer formulation often results in a strange "tacky" feeling in the finish. It's alright though. Won't cover much. But for mature oily skin that needs a sheer veil and some SPF, this is a very reasonable option. Wish it had a pump head rather than an open head, which is less sanitary. This reminds me a little of the texture of Trish McEvoy primer. Good range of skintones for a drugstore foundation.

I usually don't wear liquid foundation, however, I really liked the shades, as the ones I bought matched my skin tone perfectly (creamy natural, buff beige, and sand beige). The texture is very light, goes on smoothly, covers pores (doesn't cause acne/breakouts),or change color throughout the day.It gives me more of a sheer finish, instead of a completely matte one, which I prefer. Good stuff, and I know they'll last a long time, since I only use it for special occasions. I also like the fact that it does not turn orange, that's a huge plus, LOL!

I like L'Oreal brand for most of its products but sometimes, I am a bit surprised... This is an embarrassment for this brand. It has a weird texture. It drys to a shiny sheer coverage. It does not cover any thing whatsoever. Does it have any benefit to skin? I doubt it. When I removed this makeup out of complete disgust, my skin looked dehydrated. It is better not to use anything than using this-

I really like this product. It goes on very smoothly and is not too cakey either. It also stays on for a decent amount of time. I have tried a lot of different foundations and this is one of my favorites. I will buy this again.

I can't speak to this product's wrinkle control; however, if you're looking for something relatively inexpensive that will give you light coverage while evening out minor skin tone issues, this is something you should try.

Well, one woman's HG foundation is definitely another woman's poison, to paraphrase the old saying. This foundation is truly marvelous for me. After my success with another d/s brand (see my review of Almay's Blemish Healing fdt), I decided to try this one. Not only does it give me a beautiful, velvety finish, but it softens my fine lines, even the ones under my eyes (and THAT is saying something). And it does not settle in them, like most HE fdts do. Doesn't overdry my ageing skin, either. My husband is not the critical type, but he will mention it if my foundation looks heavy. When I asked him what he thought of my skin today, he said it "looked great." I cannot ask for a better compliment.


Because of my work, I have access to many high-end, expensive foundations. I tried most of them. The last I tried was Dior's $75 Total Capture Serum Foundation. It pooled in my pores, demanded a good bit of powder in order to give me the coverage I like, and in spite of that, it shined after a couple of hours. When I asked my co-workers how it compared with Almay's - which I wore the previous day to many compliments - they unanimously voted Almay's the best of the two. I cannot explain what it is, but it seems that - with the usual exceptions - d/s fdts. seem to work better than HE ones. For me, at least. Further proof that high price does not always mean high quality.


One bit of advice: read the instructions. If the bottle says "shake well before using," make sure you SHAKE IT WELL before you use it.

I'm not in love with this foundation; however, I've found that by mixing it with moisturizer (Olay touch of foundation) it works better without caking or making fine lines more visible; it lasts a good deal this way too. I prep my skin with no spf moisturizer first and then apply the *fresh* mix of this foundation with Olay TofF moisturizer. The results are good, basically it's like getting my money worth after buying a couple of so-so products. I don't think I'll repurchase though; there should be other products out there which would give me the same results with less hassle.

Hides large pores okay, but maximizes the lines near my eyes. I use the lightest shade, and when I put it on, I looked washed ou, however it really oxidizes during the day. I have found that I get a much better finish by blending it with only my fingers instead of using a brush or sponge. I do like the fact that there is spf in it, but I won't buy it again.

This really is a pretty good foundation in some ways, but I agree that it isn't the best for wrinkles because it dries to an almost powdery finish (good if your skin is oily, though). I had problems blending because it dried too fast in spots and got cakey (I had the same problem with True match). It's great because it's so light that it feels like nothing on your skin, but I think I need a little more moisture (I know - this is for oily skin, so I won't be critical for that). The color I got (Nude Beige) is a little too pinky-peachy for me, but I can't seem to find a foundation that's not and it's definitely not the worst. This has light-medium coverage which is exactly what I was looking for. It's very liquid, so the design of the bottle is fine, but I always like pumps better. It has a physical sunscreen that's spf 17, so that's a plus. No irritation and no breakouts so far (and it's so light that I can't imagine it would).

I dont really like this foundation. I found a nice color match (natural beige, I'm NC25), and I feel like it doesnt leave me super oily like a lot of other foundations, and didnt break me out, but that's about it for the good points of this foundation. I found this foundation to accentuate every flippin line on my face, and make my skin look so dry, and super duper flaky, despite just having exfoliated and moisturized. The consistency is very thin and runny, however, it manages to go on cakey, and like I said, it settled badly into any line it could find, ones I never see, I saw with this. Under my eyes, around my mouth, the should have called this "line maximizing" insead of "line minimizing",lol. I usually dont do drugstore foundations (after bad past experiences) but I thought I'd give them another go, and let me just say, drugstore foundations are not all that cheap like they used to be! This was pretty much $14 down the drain, I would not repurchase, and I would not recommend this to anyone looking to minimize lines, it will only make them look worse, at least in my case it did.

It is one of the best L'Oreal's foundations. I just wonder the staying power of the foundation, especially for the oily skins since glycerin is the fourth ingredient . Otherwise, it is a good foundation with light to medium coverage. It also conceals pores and fine lines upon applying.

This is a new version of the Visible Lift liquid formulated for oily skin...I appreciate this because being in my mid-thirties with oilier skin, anti-aging and skin tone quality are definitely issues. I also like that it has an SPF 17, with titanium dioxide as the ingredient. I normally shy away from SPF foundations because over time they give me a rash. It also has Pro-Xylane and Hyaluronic Acid which are also great beneficial ingredients. I purchased this in Sun Beige which is a nice medium/dark yellow based beige. It covers my sun spots fairly well, without looking mask-like. I will update later after using it in other situations.
