I have this in 857 Bronzed. I really wanted to like this foundation, but it broke me out so badly I don't think I can do it again. My skin does not agree with this particular foundation; I was disappointed because I don't ever have an issue with Wet 'n' Wild cosmetics. The sad thing is that it looks & works so well on me! The formula is thin/watery, it's light (MAYBE medium) coverage—it'd be a nice foundation for people who don't have acne problems. The scent is really strong & I can only describe it as the store Michaels around Christmas, but it does give a natural, smooth finish. If I wasn't allergic to it, I would definitely use it frequently.

Actually pretty good for the price, but I would call it more of a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. Great for days when you feel like light coverage, but if you are looking for a full coverage foundation this is not it.

This foundation is really good if you don't have problems with acne because it is light coverage, though it will smooth out your face and give you a clear face. The price is great and affordable. I would recommend this to beginners who don't have the experience to use or work with MAC or Nars foundations( any high end brand foundatation). The bottle is annoying because if you spew out too much, it is a waste. There is a good variety of colors and skin tones. There is SPF 15 which is nice so you don't need a moisturize that has SPF. I would recommend you to try it because it's not bad, especially with the price.

OK seriously... why do they call this a foundation? I bought this after reading a lot of good reviews on here, but in my opinion, this is NOT a foundation. It didn't cover up ANYTHING, it just disappeared the moment I put this on my face.. since it said "Ultimate cover" I figured it would be a medium to full coverage foundation, maybe a cheaper alternative to my colorstay, but NOPE, no coverage, super watery. Now I have really visible acne scarring and I had high hopes this would work, but it was just a sunscreen for me, it shouldn't even pass as a tinted moisturizer, since it hardly evens out my skintone. Oh, and even though I couldn't see it on my skin, the minute it dried I touched my face and it kind of balled up. what's that about?? I'll still use this as a primer for a sunscreen under the rest of my makeup, but I'll never wear this alone.

I really am not a fan of this product. I have pale skin, and it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too dark. It covered OK, though. I probably will not buy this again. But, it really was priced well.

omg!
this is such a bargain.
i got it from cvs because it was only 2.99, and i thought, well, might as well give it a try.
i get to the register, and i find out its 50% off!
i got home and decided to test this product.
it made my skin beautiful!
it made my pores look tiny (if you could see my pores at all), it wasnt greasy, and lastly, it covered EVERYTHING!
i see other users talking about the funky smell, but the smell didnt bother me at all. in fact i kinda liked it.
for under $3, i think this is a golden deal, and i would def buy this product again.

I LOVE the product but I could do without the smell. As many of the other reviewers have already said this product does have a fairly strong scent. I didn't like the smell at first but it fades away quickly and I've gotten used to it. The smell was not enough to stop me from using this makeup because it is the best foundation I've found and also the least expensive (which is always a plus!) It smooths over my skin very evenly and blends very nicely I absolutely love how my skin looks and feels when I am wearing this makeup. The only other complaint that I have is that the bottle makes it hard to get the makeup out at first I had to shake the bottle really really hard to get the foundation to come out but then I started storing it upside-down and it comes out of the bottle so easily now. Battling the poor packaging/bottle is a pain but not enough to discourage me from using this product. I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a low-price foundation.

I bought this on sale at rite aid and I actually like this foundation but the smell prevents me from using it. I wish they got rid of the smell and changed the bottle. Overall, I think its a decent foundation.

This foundation is budget friendly , and smooths out my skin. I would classify this more as a tinted moisturizer in terms of coverage. It says "ultimate cover" but it's really not which is ok with me. It even outs my skin tone, and provides a smoothing effect. If there is something you wanted to cover up, you would need to use concealer. I have the shade in Honee which matches my golden/light skin tone. The scent is sweet, and slightly medicinal but it fades away.

This foundation is okay, but like it has been said before, the scent is very strong and not in a good way at all. I have really dry and sensitive skin and this broke it out really bad, especially around my eyes. Though the coverage is pretty good, and the price it pretty good. I think over all it's a good product, but not if you have dry skin. If you can get over the scent as well, then it's pretty good.

smells like ass... smells really heavily medicated. i HATE the smell. the price is cheap, it covers well but slightly unnaturally. the plus side is that the price is definitely right. oh and the cap leaks... got all over my makeup. ive learned to keep it separate from the rest of my makeup.

I have this in Cafe' And oohh wow, it matches my skin PERFECT.
i love the consistency, and i might have to take that little plastic thing at the top as well.
i apply this with a makeup sponge, and i only apply it on pimples, and near my nose where my pores are HUGE lol
It's light weight, and stays on! I love it!
I consider this my HG foundation.
As i only need a little.
Only down side is the smell, but i have just gotten used to it! :)
Been using it for 3 days, and it's not broken me out! (i will post in update in a few weeks)
LOVE IT!
5 lippies for mee! <3

This had surprisingly a good over all coverage, and the colors are decent. More for yellow based skin.... however i just could not get over the smell ! it is horrible and gave me a headache. I dont use this product any longer.

I bought this in Naked, solely for use as a cheap primer.
I must say that I actually like the results all on their own. I don't really require anything heavy, just something to even out my skin tone.
This does just that. It doesn't turn orange on me and I haven't experienced any breakouts and I'm on week 3 of use. I apply it with a foundation brush and it blends great. It does stay on my face all day, though I have experienced some shine after about 6 or so hours.
It has somewhat of a melon-y scent while you are applying, but that quickly goes away if you find such an odor offensive.
I personally don't have any gripes about the bottle that it is packaged in. I just smack it against the back of my hand and it gets the job done.
I won't go so far as to say that this is my HG foundation but I am pretty impressed with the results at this price ($3 @ Walgreens). I definitely recommend this to those that would like something a little heavier than a tinted moisturizer but not as heavy as a full coverage foundation.
*UPDATE*:
Though I still like the coverage of this foundation, I recently noticed it makes my pores look HUGE and I think it might be breaking me out at this point. I'm in the process of pinpointing the culprit between this, NYC and BE right now.... I'm going to give it a break and look for something else in the meantime. Ickies.
::ANOTHER UPDATE::
This one is definitely the culprit. I looked at the ingredients, shortly after the second posting,and saw that this contains eucalyptus and camphor (hence the potent scent), both of which will beat the crap out of skin. It's my own fault for being neglect ant. It went into the trash and I moved on with my life.

I actually like this. I wanted a cheap liquid foundation to just use as a primer and to make my skin tight and then follow with a matte foundation. I wouldn't use this alone as a foundation, it doesn't cover much if you have freckles or blemishes.


It does have a smell, I'd describe it as "fresh" also but others might dislike any smells from their make up. I have this in "Naked" I might go darker next time.

Wow. This is my new favorite foundation. It hasn't made me break out once and I have very acne prone skin. I found out my previous foundation was making me break out after going through 85962307 different acne cleansers and products. I have tried anything and everything including the higher end foundations and this is great. I got this in Naked and it is a very good match for my fair skin. The stopper everyone is talking about can be easily removed, but I do wish it would have came in a squeeze tube. It is a MUST at about $3.00 !

I liked this because it covers really good and it smells clean. =p
But the thing i didnt like is it doesnt blend AS easily as other foundations ive tried but i will blend if you do it right. I got it in 855 cafe.

Got this for only $1.50 for the standard 1oz while on vacation. It was BOGOF. I was desparate as my usual higher end foundation had leaked on the plane. This is full of natural, skin healing ingrediants. I got it in Honee. A true beige shade without the usual drugstore pinkness. The other 3 colors would be so fake on me.

This was amazing and make my skin feel tight and great. The smell went away after a few minutes. The smell was a eucalyptus smell that I don't mind, and even seemed to improve my breathing, LOL! I needed a foundation that didn't have sunscreen. Sunscreen in foundation is great, except for when I am having my picture taken. Then it give my skin a weird white glow in photos.

I found it difficult to get out, but after reading these reviews, thanks to MUA, I took out the rubber clear stopper from the opening with tweezers. So simple yet what a difference.

This foundation is very buildable and didn't cause any allergic reaction or breakouts. I was very suprised that I like this foundation! I received lots of compliments on my skin. I used a bit of powder on it, and Nars blush. Lovely.

I have tried probably over 100 foundations, and this was teh worst on yet! Very blotchy coverage, that's also very drying, and I have oily skin! I do kind of dig the Clove/Noxema scent, it smells "clean". The blotchiness is alleviated SLIGHTLY as the day goes on and the oils from my face mix/w the foundation. There is only one shade that looks like it's made for humans, and that's "Honee", but it's almost too dark for me. Oh yeh, and I just pulled out that white plastic thingy so I could actually get the foundation out of the bottle. If you are looking for a cheap foundation...keep looking!
