I bought the Ivory shade, the palest one available. I'm quite pale but this foundation is that little bit TOO pale, so when I use it I have to combine it with a slightly darker foundation. The foundation for me stays on okay... not great. It's VERY oily. Tends to slide. Has okay coverage. Is cheap, which is good. Not good in the long term as I definitely prefer a more matte finish. My HG is Model's Prefer, Blend and Conceal :]

this was awful! I tried it because Walgreens was out of Revlon ColorStay Stay Natural in
Buff and the EverFresh was by one get one... I returned it the next day! I found the texture to be heavy and greasy and this shade of buff to be very orange! yuck!

I have this love hate relationship with this foundation. Oddly enough, I ADORE this foundation when I have a tan, I use *Creamy natural*... it's perfect, matte, immaculate coverage, no breakouts, easy to blend, no streaking, looks INCREDIABLY natural.. I mean, when my Fiance is sleeping over, I never ever worry about it being off in the morning, or waking up with it all over my pillow, just flawless. BUT- when I don't have my usual tan, I hate it.. I bought *Ivory* and it was way to light for me, made me look like a ghost, and then I bought *Buff* and the colour was off.. the Buff looked fine in my house lighting but once I walked outside it was so obvious, and I felt like my face screamed "I'm wearing tons of makeup!".. My opinion; use this foundation ONLY if the colour matches perfectly. But on the ending note- I do keep my *Creamy Natural* on my makeup table for regular use when I have my beautiful tan. :)

This product is okay but a little drying. I think it would be good for people with oily skin because it covers quite nicely. A little pink-toned too (I like a yellow based foundation). Not good for me but not the worst either.

I bought this because CVS had buy one get one free, i regret getting it. The color worked for me, and this foundation goes on smoothly. But this makes me break out REAL BAD and made my skin super oily during the day. I have combination skin, but my skin with no make up is better than this! It made my face so shiny, it was practically a mirror. I will never buy this again.

I liked this because the shade Golden worked for me, and I find it really hard to find foundations that don't make me look too pink, too dark, or too pale. There must be a lot of pigment in this stuff, because it supplies really good coverage. It gave my skin a glowing look. I got a lot of compliments when I used it, about how fresh and good my skin looked. Alas, it doesn't last all day. At the end of the day some of it had separated on my skin or something, and it was obvious that I was wearing foundation. I won't be buying this again. There are other foundations that work better for me. Also they discontinued the golden color.

I'm definitely a fan of this product- it goes on smoothly, offers good coverage (you don't need a lot, a tiny bit does the trick) and indeed lasts throughout the day.
I wish the shades had more range though - I am pretty pale, so I use Ivory, but it kind of makes me whiter than I already am - yet going down a step might be too dark..who knows.
I like the packaging, its easy to get out the amount you need.

This was truly horrible. I only bought it because it was "reasonably" cheap on my way to work on a day when I knew I was going out that night and I'd forgotten my regular makeup. Well, what a waste of $8 anyway! Not even good for emergencies, it was so thick and hard to blend, I looked shocking. I got the palest shade in a rush because I am very fair but it seemed like sticky white paint. Very regrettable purchase! I dont know if it's just because I'm used to sheer makeups and TMs, but this seemed gross. Oil free maybe but seemed really greasy. Staying power I guess okay, but would never wear again. Like the plastic tube though!

This foundation is a bit tricky, but the final result is worth it. It doesn't stay put too well by itself, so I recommend using a light powder over it. If you are fair-skinned like I am, and you have a hard time finding a flattering porcelain shade, give this stuff a shot. Don't use too much though; just a little dab spreads forever.

Not bad, but not great for me. I was using this before I found my new HG (Revlon Color Stay Natural). Ever Fresh goes on smooth and gives medium coverage. But for me, as with most foundations I try, it slides off of my face after a few hours and starts looking splotchy in places, especially where I have large pores. Probably won't buy this again since I have found my HG.

I have Ivory, and while I don't use it that often, I think this is a pretty good foundation. It doesn't turn me orange like some have said, and it has good staying power. One of the only foundations that doesn't rub off in my hands when I rub my face. Overall a pretty nice product. However, I don't generally buy foundation, so I wouldn't buy this again.

I purchased Everfresh in Buff. The Ivory was a bit too light for me. Two complaints about this product: 1. it's too liquidy and 2. the colour is slightly orangey and definitely not natural.

Well, let's see. This is runny, gives very little coverage, turned my skin orange, and broke me out all over my face.
And no, it doesn't "last" for very long at all.. but that's kind of a good thing.

I got this for oil control properties first, then long wear. Next task was to match my skintone which I found in Buff. People say that the color changes, but, I haven't had that experience. I used to use a Maybelline powder foundation that comes in a compact that has a powder finish, but, after moving to Singapore where it's hot and humid year round, my face would be shiny and the makeup would rub right off within a few hours. Powder only made it worse. Plus, I started having a real problem with acne. But, this stuff controls the oil and stays on so well that even if I fall asleep with it on, it will still be there when I wake and wash up. The sebum is what causes breakouts and now I don't have an ance problem. I do combine this with a moisturizer that controls oil from Simple. Like other moisturizers, I put it on and wait for a couple mins. to let it absorb into my skin before I apply the makeup. I had used Avon's longwearing makeup before and knew that if you didn't rub it in quickly, it would dry before you had a chance to blend it into your skin properly. So, I just apply this on each cheek first, the forehead and then, the chin and nose. I have already purchased more than once.

This is one of my HG's. It stays fresh through the day and no breakouts. Skin feels very soft. I was able to use this as a concealer and foundation but, it tends to darken a bit after a few hours. Excellent med-full coverage, hasn't rubbed off and does not feel heavy on the face. Love that it's a tube, less wasted.

This stuff felt DIRTY on my face. It was gross, it felt like I had just rubbed my face in mud and then continued on my way. Plus, it made me orange and definitely did not last throughout the day. I suppose that's a good thing.

I'd rather give this two and a half- it doesn't really deserve a three, but it's not soo bad.
Everfresh claims to be a transfer-resistant, non comedogenic, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, oil free, dermatologically tested liquid foundation with SPF15 that won't clog pores and lasts up to 8 hours.
As for all the hypoallergenic ingredients, I haven't broken out or come out in a rash, but that'd be unusual. The fragrance free thing is crap, as the thing smells like chemicals, as is the transfer-resistant claim; it wouldn't take much to smudge this all voer your pale coloured clothes/sheets/ pillows. It doesn't really mattify, but I don't look like a greaseball so thumbs up for the oil free thing, and as for lasting up to eight hours... it'll fade away after about 4 in humid Australian climates. I've got Everfresh in ivory; one of the palest colours that doesn't really match my skin. Too much makes me look sickly and pale, almost ghost-like, while not enough does nothing to cover any spots/blotches.
Overall, the product is okay, but I'm not reccomending it to anyone, nor am i going to purchase again.

I bought this once in Soft Gold and loved it. Then I lost my tan and bought it in Buff, and didn't like it nearly as much.

Turns my face orange, doesn't last long, gets shiny. I had no break outs.

The coverage is awesome, covers blemishes very well.

I would go back to this because I don't know what else to buy.

I got this b/c I am always looking for new foundations and this came with a free gift soe I really had nothing to lose. It wasn't the best liquid foundation I have used but it still worked and looked nice. The only thing I don't like about it is it dosen't cover enough during the day. It didn't last long at all. Maybe about 8hrs the most. But I still liked it, I would maybe buy it again, I would definatly if it came with a free gift again.
