I am loving this foundation right now...maybe it is because I am getting close to 50 and my skin is getting a little dry. I apply this creamy foundation with a sponge and I use a tiny bit because I want it to be sheer. It makes my skin dewy and younger looking. I do top it off with loose powder to set it and it wears well all day. I wear Antique Ivory.

I actually sell Mary Kay. I used Clinique before I switched to this makeup because the Acne Solutions and Superfit were not working on my skin. They are great products, but just stopped working for me. I like this product because it does control oil for up to eight hours. I always put powder over it. I use the MK pressed powder in Ivory 1. This makeup blends easily and covers very well. I'd say it could be full coverage. The tube is great bc you can squeeze every last drop out of it. The only thing I don't like is that after a while, it does settle into creases. I mean, my laugh lines sometimes showcase my makeup. I don't like that about it. That's the only thing I can think of. One great thing is that it didn't break my face out. That's a huge plus for me!

Well i have tried many foundations....high-end, low-end, and i always come back to this. I have redness, dry cheeks, and it is very hard to find a foundation that doesn't make my cheeks look like they are flaking (you know the speckled look). But MK Day Radiance Cream Foundation always does the job. I love Fawn Beige, and it is a versatile color enough that i dont really change it from summer to winter. I guess i will always be loyal!!

Haha, I like the post below me.

Well, I like it. I've been using it for about a month now. I apply with a brush instead of a sponge, and it makes my complexion look smooth and even. It also matches my tone, which I find hard to do. I use Toasted Beige. Of course, in the warmer months it will stop matching and perhaps be too much for the hot weather, but for winter I really enjoy it.

This was the worst foundation I have everrrrr tried! It is the most unnatural looking foundation ever. It is extremely too thick, and looks like a mask, even when you only apply a little. Not to mention that if your face touches anyything it will smear right off - nasty! The color just plain suck, and don't even get me STARTED on the packaging!

I don't know if I will wear this year round, but for the cooler months it's working great. The color is a perfect match for my skin. I apply it lightly all over, and dab and blend it heavier on the places where I need more coverage. I can use this on dark circle area without it drying the eye area out. My skin looks smooth and glowy with this foundation. I like that is has an spf of 8 with titanium dioxide too, which is reinforcement of my spf moisturizer. I use a little powder over this foundation to "set" it.

UPDATE: Quit using this as it seemed to disagree with my skin after a while. It became too much like an oil coating.

I like this foundation, I wish they had my color in the oil free one. It glides on smooth and blends nicely. I use the color fawn beige.. If anyone knows of an oil free color that is close to this one, please let me know. Thanks

Hated it. After wearing this my skin felt so gross and heavy. None of the colors matched my skin very well either. I had to scrub my face for a long time before bed, because it clogged my pores so badly.

I love this! Never really used any Mary Kay products but last week I decided to give it a try. So far, my skin hasnt broke out because of this. I love the coverage & the way it feels on my face. I think it has spf8 , which is definetely a plus, the smell isnt strong...and overall, it gives me a nice glow & a natural coverage that doesnt look thick or cakey. I bought three of these for 1.99 and when they run out....I'll be buying some more!

This foundation is great! Actually, it's not discontinued, you may want to speak with your Consultant again. The other 2 formulas of Day Radiance were discontinued, but the Cream is still available.

This is the best foundation I've EVER tried, and I've tried them all (Lancome, Loreal, Clinique - you name it). I'm 37 and this stuff went on like a dream. It melted right into your skin, and you can touch it up later if you need to without blotching or build up. You HAVE to try it.

I cant believe this is discontinued! This was great..I have tons of blemishes/redness and it covered all of it and looked like I wasn't wearing foundation! Soft Ivory was the perfect color match for me..it was so natural. I feel like the color was made for me! Not too good for oily skin however, but I have normal skin and it seemed to do me well in the summer, as long as I put on some sheer pressed powder over it. It was PERFECT...unlike the new line of foundations they have. Those colors are horrible and so unnatural looking. Oh well, maybe I can get a big stock of this on E-bay..or just spend more money on Estee Lauder's double wear...

This foundation is fine for very dry skin, as other reviewers have stated. It can look heavy and somewhat greasy at times, though. If you perspire heavily, watch out, it gets streaky. I think that powder over this to tone down the shine would probably make it look mask-like. I used to wear this in the winter when I lived in a colder climate. Now I live in the south, and it's too heavy. A bonus: One of the few Mary Kay products that actually smells good! (I am not a fan of chemically smelling "unscented" products).

This cream foundation made my dry skin look so smooth and perfect! It hides flaws very well. Don't need to use too much--only a little goes a long way--or else it gets a bit heavy. What's bad is that it can be a bit greasy, too, but that's because it's for dry skin. Mary Kay has great foundations but are kinda expensive.

DIdn't have too much luck with this product. It was not blendable at all and looked very fake on top of my skin. Not recommended!

MK cream foundation is my favorite and has been for years. Great for normal/dry skin because the cream adds moisture to your skin and also has SPF8. The cream consistency goes on smooth and offers good coverage, yet it looks so natural, almost as if your skin is allowed to show through. Most people don't even realize I'm using foundation, yet it evens out my skin tone and covers imperfections pretty well. The best thing about all Mary Kay foundations is the color range - you can find shades to match the very palest to the very darkest skin. The other formulations are great as well day radiance liquid and oil-free liquid, but for my dry skin the cream is best. If you can never find the right shade and want to pay a reasonable amount of money for a quality foundation, find a MK rep and ask for a free makeover.

I must be in the minority but I really liked this foundation. Didnt feel heavy on my combo/normal skin and stayed put all day. A great color match as well. I dont wear this in summer but rather in cooler weather when my skin tends to be a bit on the dry side.

Oily-skinned girls stay away! This was designed for people with skin as dry as the Mojave desert. It is soft and creamy. Just was too rich for my oily skin.

This is made for those with dry skin. It made me break out because I have combo oily skin. I simply used a wrong formula foundation. (I switched to C-T-Powder and Oil Free DR no smells or breaking out!!) But the coverage is totally excellent and the shade matched me to a T. Oh- the smell is like old lady or something. The other 2 MK formulas are much more preferable all around IMO..------------------------ UPDATE: If I want to pay what MK wants for this garbage I'd rather buy high end brands or even MAC and Urban Decay.---------------------------------------------UPDATE: I used to love mk products but found out a lot of interesting information on pinktruth.com regarding the products and company. Turns out they are a bunch of scam artists after all. So sad.
