Well Well Well...another sucky foundation. It does NOT stay EverFresh. Also I when I picked what I thought was the right color, it looked almost orange in sunlight. Thank God I didnt go outside like that...I looked in sunlight in the mirror in the bathroom before I went anywhere:) I'm still stuck on L'Oreal True Match even though it does...Okay with covering blemishes. But yeah anyways...This product sucks...It looks horrible in every color. My best friend bought it in a much lighter shade than I did and it still looked orange on her:) I bought it in Cocoa-too dark she-i dunno. But yeah anyways...Dont Get it...It may clog pores:)...very greasy:)

This foundation gives excellent coverage. It does look fresh when I apply it...but after a few hours it starts looking bumpy. Not to mention it feels ugly on my face. When I put it on, I start feeling this warm feeling on my face (sort of like if you were to put some kind of oil on your face and leave it on). I really hated that feeling. It's not a bad foundation...but it's not excellent either. I'd only buy again if it was an emergency.

Smells HORRIBLE and lightest shade didn't match my skin tone (yet again). Feels heavy, and overall just dislike it.

I thought since this product was called Ever Fresh my face would stay fresh looking all day. It made it very oily looking. It does a decent job of covering blemishes and I do like the tube that it comes in but I wouldn't use it again.

I used this for 2 weeks maybe, I wasnt really that happy with it, it did indeed keep my face looking fresh and natural all day but it made my skin feel so tight and uncomfortable, it kept oil at bay to an extent. The coverage is very light and somewhat watery, it went on fairly smooth and had no problems blending. I didnt experience any break outs while using it. The packaging is horrible, when you take the lid off the stuff just comes pouring out even when its upside down..I will not be repurchasing.

I've been using this foundation for the past week, and so far it is solving all my foundation problems. I really loved Revlon new complexion liquid, however even with powder it did not last all day. I also would use Revlon Colorstay liquid but the consistancy was like glue trying to apply it, and it dried to quickly and too much coverage. Then I found this ever fresh and it's inbetween not too sheer not too heavy. I bought it in Natural Beige, it has a slight pink cast...I think to avoid the orange/pinkness maybe next time I will choose a beige with yellow tones in it. It goes on very silky smooth, flawless, doesn't settle into pores, and is blendable, doesn't dry so fast like colorstay. I just set it with a dusting of pressed powder, and it lasted the day, without looking like a mask. It's been a few years since I changed foundation...sure glad I did. I definately recommend this one!

This is one of the worst foundations i've ever used! When I first used it in the morning my skin look great and then by noon it was practically sliding off my face. When I tryed to fix it with powder it just made me look ever worse! It made me look horrible! I give it one lippie for blending well.

I keep coming back to this product because it matches my fair skin well and is easy to apply. This has good staying power and the color doesn't morph as the day progresses.

If you are like me, all the foundations that were supposed to be the best on this site fell very short. If that has happened to you, try this one. I have oily blemish prone skin with a very dry surface. This is the only foundation that I keep going back to. It covers acne but doesnt feel or look like a mask. As for keeping oil under control I've already come to the conclusion that is never happening from a foundation. Definetelty the best foundation in the stores. I use the cover girl fresh complexion pocket powder over top and the fiish is fabulous.

The coverage is good and texture is smooth and easy to blend. Some of the colors are definitely too orange. I use "soft cameo". If needed colors can be mixed for a better match.

I bought this because it had more in the container than the Maybelline Shine Free, and boy do I regret it. As soon as I open the lid the foundation is pouring out of the tube, even if I have it upright. I don't understand, but this foundation manages to defy the laws of gravity.

That aside, the coloring is way off. I am a Buff in practically every brand, including other Maybelline foundations. However, this buff is Much darker and yellowier than any other brand.

Finally, it always catches in any uneven skin, giving me an obviously made up look. To make matters worse I'm an oil slick about three hours after I put this stuff on, even when matched with heavy duty powdering.

So to summarize, this pours out of the bottle, wasting product, is the wrong shade, has a horrible consistancy and doesn't go on well. I would only recommend this to people I hated.

I'm not sure about this product...

Pros: Nice coverage (medium), long lasting on me (dry skin), cheap, packaging ok, goes on well with MAC foundation brush.

Cons: Not sure the color is quite right (soft cameo), looks terrible on flaky areas.

Overall, if I felt really confident about the color I think I would stick with it. I tried ivory first and that was too light. Buff looked kind of weird so I tried soft cameo next. It is a little too pink or something.

This was so close to being my HG a few months ago when I broke it out and played around with it. Then I realized I needed better coverage. However, it did match my skin perfectly (Ivory 01). I wanted to love this product, and the packaging ( i think ) is great, better than bottles and all that. However, I found PanStik as my HG.

Bye Bye Maybelline!

This is okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Not too good on the good side though. This foundation makes your face look greasy and shiny. It works well with okay coverage if you reapply it frequently. I have acne prone skin and this made me have little tiny bumps on my skin. Feels oily, looks oily. When shown in direct or outside sunlight, if you dont blend it in well, it gives a gross orange colour. Looks alright in indoor lighting though. It's cheap, so i didnt expect the quality to be great. Won't buy again.

I kept coming back to this product for awhile because nothing else would give me the right colour that i was looking for and some other foundations i've tried were either too drying or made me break out. This one does neither of these things, hoever it IS NOT LONG LASTING!. If you want a make-up that "stays put from day to night" then beware!!! I rubbed off on all my clothes and after just an hour or two my face looked splotchy because it had worn off only in certain places. overall it's not that bad for the price and it covers fairly well, but i would recomend wearign it only if your going out for a short while, and definitly not in flouresent lighting.

I really wanted to like this stuff. (Really, really, I did!) But this makeup *doesn't* do a lot of things: It doesn't cover well, it doesn't blend well, it doesn't look very natural in daylight, it doesn't look close to a normal skin color in indoor lighting. I've tried to wear this makeup several times (because I can at least say that it doesn't slide off the oily sections of my face), and I have used a variety of concealers and powders with it to try to help it work better for me, but the end result remains the same: disappointment.

For a cheap foundation, ths stuff is pretty good. It's not fantastic, but for £6 I wasn't expecting perfection, I just can't afford to spend £20 on foundation at the moment. It loks ok on, maybe a bit drying, but my the end of the day it had worn off - it needs retouching throughout the day. Bu for the price I can't complain too much.

This is okay as a medium coverage but not full. It's orange to a point, so it doesn't look very natural. Hope someone has good luck with it.

I use this in Ivory, however i'm desperate to change it. The coverage is fine, maybe not quite heavy enough if you are trying to conceal freckles (to do that I use Kryolan concealer over this foundation, then set with powder). It does stay on for ages in cold to mild temps, but in the heat it melts off. Also I have noticed that it seems to sit in fine lines around the mouth and under eyes, so I look wrinkly. ( im only 20 ). Not too bad, i do buy it over and over, however if something better comes along I will drop this with NO guilty feelings.

I have this in the lightest color available, Ivory. I have been using it for over a year and I love it! I am very fair (NW15 or lighter) and this is almost pale enough. It dries quickly to a matte finish and doesn't turn to grease by the afternoon. Better than high end foundations I used. My friends have tried some of the darker colors and commented that a few of them have an orange cast, but I haven't had this problem. Will continue to repurchase.
