Alright so I started using this product again and now I remember why I stopped.
This product specifically states it is a "primer, concealer, foundation, and powder."

I've used it strictly only as a primer and concealer.
First off it's moisturizing as hell and doesn't dry even if my face was on fire (or at least I don't think so). I apply it ontop of my eyelid and I apply it as a concealer for my under eye dark spots.
It provides coverage but because it's so moisturizing & takes forever to dry, it ends up fading away so the fact it provides coverage doesn't do me personally any good because it doesn't dry. It doesn't stay on as a primer nor does it stay on as a concealer. I strongly don't like this product but will use the rest of it up as to not waste my money.

The color shades aren't for very light skinned people. I have FAIR and it barely fits me now because we are in summer and i'm not even pale!

Will not be repurchasing. You can't give it a 0 so giving it a 1 lippie is like a 0 but i'll give 2 lippies, one point for having a pump that is all.

I love love love this foundation....definitely the best ive tried and i have tried too many. It leaves my face flawless and it gives me very good coverage. The only con would be that i still need to set it with powder because my skin still feels oily after a couple of hours. Also the color range is poor. I use deep and i'm
Iike hally berry's complexion so anyone darker wont be able to use it.

Overall a good foundation, would purchase again, only issue i found is that it needs more colors, fair is too dark for me, (colorstay 110 is my right color)

PROS
*meduim-full coverage, but i still have to use concealer under eyes and on obvious imperfections
*I love the finish, not matte, but not shiny, i love not haveing to set it like i did with colorstay.
*It goes on easy for me, i use a foundation brush for the best coverage.
*Packaging rocks, it has a pump! and looks cool
*cheaper than most other drugstore foundations
*doesnt feel heavy or cakey

I agree with others - this is a really nice foundation. The only thing I can compare it to is Tarte Smooth Operator but with without the dewiness of Tarte.

My only problem is the limited range of colors. I'm using Medium and skipping concealer. This is the best foundation I've found for this kind of price.

I was at Wal*Mart and decided to just try this out since it was so cheap. The color matched my skintone PERFECTLY ! i haven't had a foundation that ever matched me exactly i am a NC20 but that is a little to yellowish for me but NW20 is too pink for me. The coverage is okay i still use glamoflauge for my scarring. The only thing i do not like about this foundation is that it makes my face feel oily. i have very oily skin but i use milk of magnesia and that usually controls my oils with foundations but even with that my face still feels oily : ( ! This foundation is very lightweight and i would really like this as a summer foundation ! my double wear foundation would be a little too thick for summer. I am going to try other oil controling products with this foundation and see if i find something that works !

I decided to buy a new foundation at Walmart and had trouble choosing because I dont usually stray from what I normally use. I liked this product because it blends so well and matches my skin. I'm glad I chose Tan, because I almost did go lighter, but my boyfriend pointed to the next one( 4 shades, Tan is 2nd to last). I compared it to a compact liquid foundation I have and the colors were the same. Very lightweight and not very expensive for what it does.

I am very surprised how good this is. I wasn't expecting this to be this good. It's we'll pigmented, gives medium coverage and it covers lots of flaws. It so creamy and smooth and it goes on easily. Another plus, it has a nifty pump, so less mess. I'm NC40 and I got the tan, it's slightly too light on me, but I think the next color up would be too dark.

I love this stuff! It's extremely lightweight and minimizes the amount of work I have to do in the morning since it makes a good primer, a good foundation, a good concealer, and an ok powder. It also stays on all day long and is one of the best foundations I've used for that. I definitely will be purchasing it again! The only downside is it only comes in four shades. I got lucky - medium matches my skin tone perfectly.

I haven't had this long enough to have a firm opinion, but I thought I'd pipe up and say that I'm NC30 and Medium Tan works well for me. Medium and Medium Tan look very close in the bottle, but the Medium had a bit of a peachy tone to it that didn't blend well with my yellowish undertones. Also, I was able to return Medium to Walmart with no problems.

I really like this product! its relatively inexpensive, which is always a plus. I have combination / dry skin, and this foundation doesn't really dry me out even more( I use the hard candy foundation primer as well). I still feel like i have to powder afterwards even though it says you don't have to... I would deffinitely purchase this product again!!!

I LOVE this foundation minus the fact that it did give me minor breakouts. I have combo/oily skin while my moms is dry, she hated this foundation while I loved it. As for everything it claims to be (primer, concealer, powder, and foundation) it did ok. It's obvious a product isn't going to do all of that. But I feel like the foundation and powder part is covered very well.

I have terrible acne scars, but minimal acne eruptions. I wanted a foundation that i wouldn't need concealing. I would say it's a medium coverage that's definitely build able to a point. I use about 2 layers and it gets the job done, without using anything else. I don't even need to set it with a powder as it dries to a powder kind of consistency and keeps my skin oil free, and my skin is super oily.

Lasted me about 8ish hours before it showed a sign of wearing. I wore this foundation for prom and I used primer set it with powder and it lasted around 10 - 12 hours! Overall I would love it, pricing is good also. Only 7$, and the packaging is good, i really love the pump.

Only cons I can think of are acne prone skin people need to be careful. This did break my skin out a little bit, it even broke my mom out, and she literally has the most perfect skin. But now my acne is under control I can wear it again. And also the color selection is a little poor for the fairer skin types. It also could get a little cakey if you set it with to much powder, so be careful about that.

It made my face look flawless! My skin looked smooth and felt smooth and it also covered my scars greatly! It also seemed to give my skin a radiant glow without the use of a illuminizer or bronzer. I have a more medium tan skin tone, so the foundation matched me perfectly and blended easily.

I bought this at walmart for $7 and it was awesome when I put it on and it lasted all day. I have combination skin with very oily t zone. Love it and all but it makes me break out. This foundation is not oil free and it contains mineral oil and mineral oil clog my pores. While it's a great foundation, it's not so great for my skin.

Nw20 skintone
i just bought this a day ago and tried it last night, i must say im super impressed!
Ive tried every foundation out there....photoready to glittery
healthy skin to thick
and mac is nice but it clogs my pores bad...and they all wear off through my crazy nights, but the one didnt, i have combo skin that sometimes gets oily with little breakouts, but in five mins my skin looked and felt great and lasted nearly all night with out me waking up to huge bumps/ breakouts.
Maybe i found a reilable foundation?!
Also the pump is a nice feature

I tried a sample of the One Step makeup from Stila and this is a real Dupe. It provide the same "service" quality than One Step. Light feeling though very good coverage. You can build on if needed. If you have melasma or dark spot/discoloration you will need more concealing BUT so will it be with One Step. This makeup doesn't budge all day. I have not work-out in it. Really the only thing that resis t my work-outs is Max Cover from Estee Lauder (that heavy duty stuff). It dried to a powder finish but not over drying for my dry skin. If you skin is oily you might need more setting with powder. But if your skin is Normal/dry you need nothing more!!
For a bit more than 7 bucks you get the same performance than One step and the color light worked for me (yellow toned) it blended into my skin. It's really a very good quality makeup for a very good price.
I'd be heartbroken if they'd discontinued it. .
Stila Quality for 7 bucks!! A Winner!!

This is only my first impression after applying it this morning for the first time. I usually apply foundation with a damp sponge and so went to apply the same way with this foundation however it was kind of hard to spread and looked like it got splotchy in certain areas. Maybe because of the powder coverage it has? It just looked odd so I'll try with just my fingers tomorrow and update. Color is pretty good. I chose Fair and I'm an NC20 though I would definitely need to go up a shade for summer. The formula feels light on the skin and I think it covers great but it does show flakes but I'm also using TAZ so I can't truly judge on that. Anyway, I'll update tomorrow to see if the application goes better without a damp sponge.
UPDATE-DAY 2 - Ok, this morning I tried applying with just my fingers right after applying moisturizer and I didn't get the splotchy areas so it must have been something with the damp sponge. It is definitley pigmented and a little goes a long way so you have to be careful or this could look cakey. Anyway, I do like the coverage and if this doesn't break me out will definitely be a keeper.
UPDATE- Wore this day 3 and I noticed tiny little white clogged pores in some areas. I really like the coverage and feel of this but I'm afraid of this really leading to a bad breakout. My skin is so super finicky though so if yours is not, this would be great. I also tried using the damp sponge again and got that weird application so it wasn't a fluke.

this new foundation has become a HG for me. I use a foundation brush and apply and it's flawless. I'm about a Mac NC 20-25. I can use light, but the fair is perfect on me. Cannot be beat for $7.00

Oh how I love this foundation, it was definitely worth the wait! after finally finding it in the store, I was amazed it was only 7 dollars! I tried it on a day I worked so I could really test it out, after applying, it looked great and the finish was perfect on my skin. fast forward 8 hours and I looked in the mirror and it was still almost as good as when I put it on! I did set it with physicians formula happy booster powder, I don't know if that made any difference, but I love love love this foundation!

I love this foundation!! I really do, but it has a huge downfall, it broke me out on the third day of wearing. I checked the label and sure enough it contained mineral oil. The application for this product wasn't so smooth with or without a primer, but the end results were amazing and my face looked flawless for the first two days. It's a great buy and I would purchase this again, but I have to switch it up every two days. Oh, and even though it claims its a primer, concealer, foundation, and powder all in one, I found that it is long wearing if you use a setting powder. I used Maybelline Dream Matte powder. Hope this helps!
