This foundation isn't my holy grail, but it's a old friend that never lets me down. Whenever I break out from trying something new, it's there to calm my face and cover the redness. If that new skincare makes my face dry and itchy, it soothes and takes away the flakes. And now that I found the C&C Oil Blotting Sheets, I don't even worry about shine like I used to. I just wish it had a little bit more coverage.

This is a good sheer foundation with great sun protection. It was a bit too greasy for my combination skin, but it didn't cause any breakouts. The shades are also pink-based, which is not my preference.

Cons- not the best color choices, it's a liquid
Pros- GOOD FOR SENSITIVE SKIN, won't break you out; coverage buildable in layers if you are patient; nice creamy, but fluid texture, easy to apply; doesn't accentuate flakiness or pores, is enough coverage, but not heavy

Wow i really like this one, moisturizing but mattes out very quickly sheer natural looking(just be carefull not to apply too much and a foundation brush helps) and the lightest color seemed to be a really close match for my skin. My undertone is somewhere between a pink and a yellow. Overall a nice foundation, but just not perfect. Still searching.

This is very sheer and oil free, with an SPF. It is perfect for people that want just a little coverage to even out skin tone. The color blended perfectly into my skin, I can put it on with just my fingers, and with the packaging it is really easy to get the right amount that you want to use. It's good for people that aren't crazy about wearing foundation, but need some coverage. I really like it.

I don't like this. It's very thin and runny and even though my skin is dry it has a greasy look to it. This is more like a VERY moisturizing tinted moisturizer. Also, it gives very little coverage. If you want to cover up a breakout this is not for you.

I've been using this product for years. I have fair, freckly, dry, ageing (SOB!) skin, and I like this product because it evens out my skin tone a little, provides SPF 15, moisturizes, and adapts well to my rushed, smear-and-go application technique. I would characterize it as more of a tinted moisturizer, rather than a foundation, because I frequently use an additional powder foundation on a few places: around my nostrils to get rid of redness, on my T-Zone to cut the shine, and on my eyelids to prime for powder shadows. All in all, I like this product a lot. I'm on my third tube.

I love this so much. I have this
in Medium, and at first, I thought
it would be too pale for me, but as
I put it on, it blended perfectly to my skin tone! Plus, it's oil-free, so it didn't clog my pores. It also gives you a cute, dewy look which is great anytime!

I really didn't like this product. It made my pores look bigger and looked fake, and it was supposed to be a sheer foundation! I also didn't like the color selection, the whole ligt, med, and dark thing. They weren't yellow based enough for my skin.

I bought this because I just wanted sheer coverage. This works quite well on my face actually. This is a bit greasy for my t-zone but perfect for my cheeks (my cheeks are drier). This does not cover a lot but stays for a long time. I like the package as it's really easy to just squeeze the tube to get the amount I want. It cost $17.50, an ok price for foundation.

This for me at least is the best foundation I have found. I am a teenager and I only need a little help with my skin some breakouts and a little uneven skintone. This is sheer has SPF15 does not make me breakout and does what I need it to do( make my skin look natural and healthy and a little more even). The price is a little steep for me $17.50 but one tube lasts a long time. This is well worth the money.

I really loved the sheer coverage of this foundation, but, by the end of the day, my skin looked very oily and shiny, even though I had used loose powder in the morning. I'm thinking maybe it has to do w/ some of the sunscreen ingredients, but i'm not sure. I also loved the tube it comes in - great for dispensing just the right amount. A pretty decent price too. I would buy this again, but only if I bought some good blotting papers, too :)

I like this because of the spf and although it didn't break me out it did look and feel somewhat greasy. Good for very sheer coverage

A definite winner in my book - the shade - Stay Neutral - matched me perfectly, the product delivered a sheer, healthy finish, and the SPF is always an added bonus. The downsides were that the formula felt a little greasy by the end of the day (I'm not especially oily) and that I got a few clogged pores from it...but if you haven't any problems with breakouts or very easily clogged pores, definitely try out this sheer alternative to heavier foundations.

Not recommended for people who have an uneven skin tone! If you have a near perfect complection (and God bless you!) this is ideal, but for me it was way too sheer providing very little coverage.

I truly didn't care for this at all. It left a rather gooey texture on my face, and it took so much powder to get rid of the shine. It had just the right amount of coverage, but even in a small amount looked shiny and unflattering... and it's kind of expensive too...
