This is a great foundation if you are looking to hide the oil. I don't use it as a daytime foundation, but I love it as an evening foundation. If you find that you look too chalky, put a little bit of Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick on to balance. It's a good combo for a healthy glow that isn't oily.

I always wanted to try this and now that I did I can forget about it. I am not a fan of this foundation. I have oily but sensitive skin and this was way too drying and made my skin look really dull and cakey. It even smells harsh too....like a toner. It does help make pores look smaller, but that's not enough. Many products can do this and still make my face look like it's glowing and healthy. I will not buy this product! It's not good at all!

I usually wear powdered mineral makeup. I am not getting enough coverage on my skin with a powdered makeup. My face has acne on the cheeks. I also struggle with powder makeup because it settles in the fine lines around my eyes and shows my age (37). I tried this on a fluke 2 days ago in the store. I use it everywhere but around my eyes -- with a foundation brush. I bought the bare color. It blends nicely and looks good on my skin. It provides better coverage than a powder makeup. I will totally wear this foundation sometimes, but I am a mineral makeup junky.

The trick with this makeup is to moisturize first and then apply this with a brush. If your skin is dry, it will look powdery and caked on and dry. Update: It has been a couple of months since I tried this product, and it broke me out SO bad that I don't think I'll ever try liquid makeup again. I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 -- just because my skin is finicky. My skin has never been worse.

This is a great product that gives me great moderate coverage without feeling heavy; best of all, does not slide off or separate on my oily face. This is the only liquid foundation I have ever used that I can say this about. The color linen is a perfect match for my skin and nude is perfect for when I use self tanner and the color stays true on my skin the whole day/evening. It has a slight mediciney smell which I actually like because it makes me feel as if I am doing something good for my skin.

The best foundation I have found for my acne-prone combination skin, hands down!

I really, really wanted to like this. When I first put this on, it looked amazing. It goes on easily (with fingers or brush), and it settles which I LOVE (this way, it doesn't rub off upon contact). However, after a couple of hours it started to look and feel like crap. I have combination skin, and I don't use foundation all over my face. This stuff is supposedly oil-controlling, when in fact, it either A) made my skin go into oil-overdrive OR B) greased up on its own on my skin. And it felt quite disgusting.... I went and exchanged it for Origns Stay Tuned foundation, which I haven't tried yet, but hopefully that one will work. Wish me luck.. I normally love Origins, so I am disappointed.

I finally found my favorite foundation! after years of searching high and low, this is what i have been looking for - it evens out my oily skin, it smells herbal and clean, it comes in a squeeze tube so it is easy to dispense, you only need a small amount and it lasts all day long. YAY. I have a medium toned complexion and i took the darkest color they had 08 Honey, so i would think this is a very light assortment of shades. I will be buying this again i am sure- but not for a while, as a little goes a long way!

This is a very good foundation for combo-oily skin. I have it in Linen and it's a good color match, stays true. I find this works best to apply with a foundation sponge that is damp- it spreads easier (although I find this to be true with every foundation I have used.) I also like the squeeze tube this comes in. Covers well.

I got this in 14 Sand. I don't really like this - not enough coverage. Would not repurchase.

this foundation is pretty amazing for people out there with oily skin who need staying power and decent medium coverage. I've been really happy with this for about a year. works with or without powder. if you're a greaseball, get this stuff.

This foundation covers really well. I got Latte (discontinued) as a sample and wore it to work and got so many compliments. Really boosted my self-esteem. The bad thing was this color is discont. and it did give me breakouts when I washed off the makeup at night. Probably because my skin coudn't breathe. If they had my color, I would give it a try again.

Found this to be a very good foundation! This is the only one that would keep the oilies away. You have to work a bit quick when outting it on a s itdries fast, and you may feel a bit of "tightening" on your face but for me, it's worth it to get the oil control this offers. Unlike others, I find the shade selection good, and it doesn't turn orange or any weird color on me. I find the smell to be a tiny bit "medicinal" but I didn't really mind, given the way this worked for me. This one and Clinique's Superfit are my skin's two best friends.

i just found this foundation. I really like it. The packaging makes it easy to tote around. I bought this in "Buffy." I have really oily skin and I walk to work every day. When I get to the office and look in the mirror, I am still intact. two thumbs up for this foundation. However, I have to say that I am sad because now they are discontinuing my shade. argh! Update: Well, at least I am not super attached to this foundation. It does not compare to Revlon Colorstay.

I have oily skin in the summer and I wanted a foundation to withstand the heat and humidity. well, I'm o.k with this product. I'm C3 nc25-30 in summer,I got "Honey" which seems a little light,probably because I got more tanned. I find that this was hard to blend but it really does mattify the skin. I used it alone and went for a walk on a hot day, when I got home, my face still looked flawless and matte. I discovered a trick to make my summer foundation: I mix a little of origins with my stila TM and voila, spreads on easier. I would buy again but i wished they'd make more colours.

It really dried out my face, by the end of the day my face was peeling. i think it is good for really oily skin but NOT combo. The color was alright though. I use it now as a concealer b/c it's so thick and treats the bad skin.UPDATE: I really love this product now and it is really helping to clear my face up.:)

Leave it to me to finally find a foundation that actually does what it says for my EXCESSIVLY oily skin...only to find the shade I use is a discontinued one! I bought this for $10 at the Cosmetics Company Store outlet while vactioning in Las Vegas this weekend and use shade 06-Beach. (Anyone near there...if you can pick me up a couple tubes I'd GREATLY appreciate it!!) This shade has apparently been discontinued. However, the line of foundation is still sold at Origins. It lasts all day--and I am putting this on at 4 am and washing it off at 8pm! Stays matte and keeps the shine at bay! I do use a blot sheet during the day and apply a little more powder midday as well, but I was using 4-5 blot sheets and more than 2 re-powders with everything else! I love this foundation! UPDATE(3/13): My initial usage must have been on unusually good oily-free skin days because this still lets the shine show through! BIG sigh...back to the search for a perfect foundation.

My HG foundation is Chanel's Double Perfection Fluide- but if I ever run out or I'm in a pinch, I use this by Origins. It's a good foundation. My skin isn't oily, and it's not a problem with this stuff. If I apply Reflection Perfection with a wet sponge, it goes on very well and dries into a nice, soft, matte finish. And I love the shades it comes in- it matches my skin perfectly. :)

This product made me break out which really sucks because it was the perfect shade. So in other words, if you have acne prone skin do not buy this and save yourself the pain.
