This is one of the few cheap brands that actually matches my skin tone.
I find it offers medium coverage.
I don't really enjoy the way this feels on my face, a little pasty, if you know what I mean.
It's ok, but not awesome.

This is more of a tinted moisturizer and less of a foundation. It really didn't provide adequate coverage for me at all, but it is moisturizing. I still have quite a lot of left in my tube so I continue to use it occasionally as a moisturizer, but I wouldn't buy it again if I was looking for a foundation.

This is a great foundation for people like me that dont have a lot of acne but just need a little something to even out their skin tone and some extra coverage. I have been told that I'm very pale, but the Light-Medium shade (#687) fits me pretty well. It does give me a little bit of color and I dont look washed out. It can go a little orange though! Make sure to blend it thoroughly and get your neck. Its actually not that liquidy either, its kind of creamy, and it mousturizes.

I decided to get this because I tried their smooth skin foundation and was actually very pleased. The skin matching foundation, not too much. It didn't feel too terrible and it sort of evens skin but other than that it was bad. It made dry areas stick out and I put on three layers of it for anything to really be covered but at that point my forehead was starting to cake up. I felt like while I was putting it on it was coming off like these little crusty pieces? I don't know if anyone had that or not but I was like what the heck? It didn't do much for me and it made me look older. I would recommend looking at their smooth skin foundation because it was a lot better than this one. Sorry to those who like this foundation because it just sucked on my skin.

This foundation did not suit my needs. I am NW 20-25 and the "Light" shade made me look orange, and did not match to my color. As I tried blending it in, it got more streaky the more I tried. After hearing it being raved about by a few YouTubers, I thought it would be worth a try since they had my skin type as well. I have dry skin, and it highlighted all of my patches and made them look even worse. It barely gave me any coverage on my blemishes, in fact it made them stand out instead of making them unnoticeable. The packaging was very poor. My bottle had torn the day after I got it, and leaked everywhere. No way would I repurchase this.

Finally a foundation that is really cheap and seems to somewhat match my skincolour. Fortunately it is crazy organge. So, I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan.

My skin is quite good and I am just looking for sheer cover to even out my skin colour. I find this product does not blend into the skin. My nose ends up feeling like it's made of rubber. The foundation also makes makes me look old, every little line is emphasized to the point where you see lines you didn't even know you had.

Finally, for some reason I seem to be able to get at least twice the amount of product I need when just giving the tube a slight squeeze.

So even though it's dirt cheap, I will not be buying this again.

This stuff was an ok replacement for my regular foundation. The color matched my skin well however..it pills when i apply. That wad my main issue with this other than it fades after awhile. The coverage is sheer to medium.

i just bought this today because it was 40% off of it's already cheap price. I am constantly looking for a foundation i can love forever and always, but i doubt that'll ever happen. this, however, is a really great product. it blends really well and the coverage is about medium. it's the best one i've tried from NYC so far, definitely worth the few bucks!

I really don't care for this product.At first I liked it fine,it's a lighter formula.But I started noticing that it would separate.My skin looked very patchy and the parts that the make-up stayed on were darker than the parts that it had worn off from.Just not a very good product,

Worst foundation ever. In this instance, you really do get what you pay for. It's hard to get it out of the bottle, but yet it's really liquidy?! It feels like it has no substance whatsoever when you put it on but yet you have to pound it against your hand to get any to come out! I have oily skin and this stuff doesn't even stay on an hour..and FORGET coverage. It doesn't have any! Also it has broke me out! I'll never buy this again.. good thing it was only three dollars.

First I want to say this foundation got 2 stars ONLY for the fact that the shade did match my skin tone perfectly. My color was 686. Other than that, everything is bad. First of all, it is runny. Doesn't feel oily, but is very slippery. It also is more like a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. It doesn't cover any type of flaw whatsoever. Also, I have a normal skin, not dry or oily, and this stuff just slips off. 4 hours later you can dab a tissue on your face it comes off as if it is still wet. I used this over my Rimmel Pro Primer as well and it didn't help at all. I wouldn't suggest going out in public with this foundation on, it will end up on your shirt.

I have been looking for a cheap foundation for a while and i decided to give this a try. The packaging isant the best, it comes out extremely fast since it's a squeeze tube and one Time it actually exploded out the top when I hardly squeezed it.:/ it has very minimal coverage but it's light and spreads out ok. Blends into skin ok.. But if you put it on your finger it actually peels and rolls into little pieces and looks bad:( but overall i think it would be ok to apply with a brush and fine if you have very few imperfections. It has a strong smell of (babypowder?) and it made my whole makeup bag smell. Lol but I wouldn't buy it again.

I purchased this product recently and I like it allot. It blends easily as long as you blend it right away. You only need a small amount. It is not heavy duty, but gives nice coverage and I have red spots on my face. I am fair and I bought light to medium and it blends right in. And you can't beat the price.

Ok, it's dirt cheap, so it's not like blowing $20 for a big name, and I have had no such problems with flaking. I use a mix of blending with my fingers and patting and it was fine. I just used a powder to set it. It lasted about as long as any other foundation. I picked light to medium and it a really good match. It does go on like a tinted moisturizer, i.e. The coverage is light, but with some concealer it's not that big a deal. I ust this with simple eye makeup and the N.Y.C. Rose Gold lipstick, and get complimented for a natural look all the time :) if your looking for a cheap foundation/ tinted moisturizer, this is a good deal!

I found this in a small shop in the clear out section and it was a complete impulse buy because I love checking out new foundations.
It's a very thing consistency and certainly doesn't cover. Like someone else has said - it's more like a tinted moistoriser than a foundation. The colour does match my skin pretty well, and i found it much easier to blend with fingers. Using a sponge is no good at all. It does tend to crumble a little bit if you blend too much which is annoying, but it leaves a pretty good finish.
Overall, I would probabyl buy this again because it was so cheap but I only really use it when I don't have a lot of time and need to slap some foundation on really quickly to even out my skin a little.

This is a great foundation for those with dry skin and require minimal coverage. I would say that this is very similar to a tinted moisturizer; as it applies and blends as such, and has moisturzing properties.

I purchased this in the shade Light, which was a good match for my NC20-25 skin. The consistency is quite thin, and packaging would've been better in a pump bottle, or any bottle for that matter, as this can drip out of the squeeze tube.

I recommend setting this with a light dusting of powder once dried, for a long-lasting effect. Coverage is light, and basically just evens out your skin tone, but will require concealer for scars or dark circles. I have not had issue with this balling up or giving a weird texture; perhaps when mixed with other products, such as sunscreen it might change the texture.

Overall, I would not purchase this again, as my combo skin can only use this in the dead of winter, and I'm sure I will not be using this up anytime soon.

This goes on sheer, provides light coverage. However, it balls up when you rub it on so it flakes off; this is strange, why would it do this?! The color matched me fine, medium beige, I'm NC40. It doesn't go on smoothly. I don't like this at all.
