I actually quite like this foundation. When I first got it, I absolutely hated it. Now, though, I've found a way that it works rather well- I put it on directly after my moisturizer or, depending on the coverage I want, I mix it with my moisturizer. Otherwise it's too dry for me (though I do have dry skin) which I believe is because of the kaolin. I must say I'm really glad that I found a way for this to work because it's one of the only foundations I've found that won't break me out. You can't really beat the price, either. I use the lightest color and it's really dark, a bit too dark for me but it works ok when it's mixed with my moisturizer...no option for PPPs here.

Very drying
with a little powder this is ghostly not skin like at all
Very little coverage and has to be built
EDIT
matte finish, but is cheap, and best i have seen of drugstore, it matches my skintone, and is best applied with a little moisturizer, but is still pretty matte. not my favorite, but deff. worth 6 bucks.

I love this stuff!! My best friend has used this a long time and her skin always looks great, so I decided to give it a shot. It gives me nice light coverage & evens out my skin tone. I use it as a sort of primer for my EDM makeup and it gives me a healthy looking glow. It's pretty much what I hoped neutrogena's TM would do for me. It's really affordable and doesn't break me out.

I really like this stuff. The packaging (squeeze tube) is great! The coverage isn't bad since I thought it would be more like a TM but still relatively light. I think it blends well and does even out the skin tone pretty well.

I really like this foundation. It feels light on the skin but the coverage is rather nice, medium I'd say. I use the shade #2 (Classic Ivory) and apply it with a foundation brush or with my fingers. It blends very well, doesn't streak and overall looks natural. I would definitely repurchase it.

Meh. It's okay. I had read a review somewhere about how this isn't comedogenic, so I rushed out and bought this on impulse. After the first application, I noticed how flawless it made my skin look with pressed powder on top; I also had it double for concealer. By noontime it was melting off my face, and I had become about as reflective as a solar panel. When I went home later on to wash it off, pimples, the cystic kind, had appeared on my face where I applied a slightly thicker layer. I'm going to have to say no thank you to this one, even if it makes me look like a beauty queen for the first half hour I have it on.

! Shade: classic ivory, light 2; very good shades, nothing weird.
! Coverage: light to medium. pretty good but natural looking coverage.
! Application: easy, allows for mistakes, smooth.
**** I do it with my fingers. when I rubbed it on for the first time the texture felt too thick/balled up a bit, but it soon disappeared into smoothness. I'm pretty clumsy so this even works for me!
! Staying power: decent (I never left it on for more than 5 hours tho)
! Removal: surprisingly easy, a good cleanser can do, works with any remover.
! Price: $5.99 at Walgreens. 1 tube lasts for at least 100 applications.

I really, really hate this foundation. It looks so unnatural and it's cakey! It doesn't really control my shine and the makeup itself leaves a very shiney finish. Blech. This stuff is definitely going back. I'm giving it an extra lippie because I like the packaging.

I just can't find a drugstore foundation that does not break me out...
Also I can't find my color....
I gave it to my mom. Too bad I won't purchase again.

This product was.. alright. After I read all the good reviews on it, I was like, "hmmm, this might be good for my combination skin" since it was supposedly "shine-free" make up I thought it would actually control my oil.. But nope. Nope. Nope. In the middle of the day, I realize my t-zone got extremely oily, even when I set it with a powder. and it's easily removable also! If somebody slapped your face or something, the make up will on their hand! yuck! man. Disappointment. :(

This is a must have for stay at home mommies. It's easy to use and you don't have to worry about it clogging your pores.

There are many pros to this..

it's cheap $5 at walmart
non clogging
very lightweight
dries to a matte finish
easy to put on
very good coverage

If you don't like tinted moisturizers and need more coverage, but dont want a full foundation, try this. It's super light. The lasting power is ok, just set it with a powder and you should be good.

I have very oil skin and this works well for me when I want a light foundation. This provides more coverage than a tinted moisturizer, but it's not greasy at all. It looks very natural and gives me a polished, but not made-up look. I love the tube & it's inexpensive.

Best. Foundation. EVER! lol, ok really. I have oily/combo skin, and am ALWAYS on the hunt for a better foundation. This is really my go-to everyday foundation. Even though I just bought a fancy foundation from Sephora yesterday to try out, it's Maybelline's Pure that I'm wearing right now.

Love it: it's light-weight and easy to apply; non-clogging, doesn't break me out or create milia; dirt cheap (I have winter and summers shades, lol); lasts a decent amount of time (just my makeup absorbing cheeks need a touch up later in the day if I notice); and provides good coverage, not matte, but I like a natural look anyways.

Hate it: umm.... If I'm having a dry/flakely skin day, it'll show.

I really love this makeup. It always looks good, and can be a very light coverage or built up for a more fuller coverage. I was sent heaps of these from my aunt who works at L'oreal and the colour range she sent me was so extensive. I really like the way it dries on the skin and is very easy and quick to apply. All round a very decent foundation for the price.

Wow, I didn't know this was so popular among young people.

This was my favorite foundation for a long time. Probably for about three years. I never had a problem with it.
It always gave me good coverage while not looking thick and obviously "made-up", which I've always looked for.
My face flushes easily and some days looks red, but for being natural looking and sheer this always covered very well.
I would also recommend this for dry skin. I never had to bother exfoliating every time before applying this; a little dry skin didn't make a difference as it actually helped moisturize.

The only reason I stopped using this because I look for foundation without parabens these days, which this is unfortunately full of.

I love this stuff. For me, it has the perfect coverage and stays on as long as I need it to even through dance classes and nights out. It also looks so natural and not at all shiny. And I love the packaging. The squeeze tube makes it so convenient and non-messy. Plus, it's cheap. I would definitely recommend trying it at least once.

Amazing foundation for only 6$! I have combo skin and my forehead gets flaky at the beginning of the day AND oily by midday. And I cannot wear heavy foundations because my sensitive skin can't stand them. I tried almost every foundation at the clinique counter and the lady told me my skin didn't have a lack of oil, but a lack of water... I kept that in mind and when I found that foundation i thought it would be perfect because it's made of 50% water. It controls oil and shine on my forehead while keeping my cheeks soft. Very lightweight and easy to apply (i just pour a peasize amount on my finger then apply it just like a moisturizer on my face). The packaging doesnt make a mess, is small and not fragile so you can just pop it in your purse and no need to reapply. As a teenager, I don't want a foundation that takes 10 minute to apply and something that I don't need to reapply during the day because I have more important stuff to think about. It covers up the redness on my cheeks really well. Also, the price. I prefer to save money on clothes and activities than on makeup. 6$ for a foundation! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed

I really like this product. I don't like heavy coverage on my face. This is really light and goes on really smooth and easy. I like to through and light blush and a light sheer powder over the top and it looks great. I switched from using a Mary Kay foundation to this and like it so much more.
