I LOVE this foundation! It gives me such a natural glowing finish! And it lasts all day w/o changing colour. I bought this in Nude, which is a good winter colour for me. I am a MMM w/ combo acne-prone skin. The coverage is surprisingly impressive! I hope that they had more colour selection, though. But who can really complain with a product as awesome as this ;)

UPDATE: Sigh, unfortunately this is not working for me. It looks very mask like. Also since they did not have a wide range of colours to choose from, I had to choose a colour much lighter than my skin which made it even *more* mask like! I guess the search continues.... :(

I have searched high and low for a foundation with staying power. I used to use Origins More Coverage , but they discontinued that line completely! What a shame! I was thrilled to finally come across this new product from Maybelline! My search is over!

I'm liking this foundation! I've never used Maybelline before and wasn't sure what to expect, but I found it for $8 CAD, which is a steal, so I couldn't refuse. I purchased Ivory, and I was surprised to do so because I'd heard that it was REALLY light (it's the lightest colour). I didn't think I was THAT pale. But I am, and this colour matches perfectly. I would describe it as neutral tending towards yellow. Weird story with this: the drugstore had testers (yay!) and Ivory looked good, so I bought it. Wore it the next day, and by the end of the day, it looked like it'd turned pink on me. I was NOT impressed, considering this is supposedly a longlasting foundation. The next day I wore it, and by the end of the day, it still looked true--neutral to yellow. I think it may have been because I used a light dusting of mineral foundation over top, that it turned pink the first time, even though the mineral foundation is neutral to yellow as well! Weird. Anyway, I use this in my T-zone to combat oiliness and "fill in" my large pores (something my mineral foundation doesn't do). It blends easily and looks natural, and it really does last a long time. Oh, and there is a bit of a chemical, play-doh like smell, but it fades after awhile. Definitely worth a try, especially if you can find testers.

Loving it! At the moment, this is all I will use to quickly even out my skintone and cover tiny imperfections. I was expecting the coverage to be sheer but it covers more than expected. Use about dime size for entire face and dab of concealer for more annoying spots. Looks natural and lasts pretty much all work day without budging or turning orange.
Shades can be more yellow but I ended up with Natural Beige which works well on my NC30-ish face.
Squeeze tube packaging is great too! I can throw this into my gym bag for quick touch up after shower. Haven't raved about a Maybelline item in a long time!!

It really is as good as everyone says it is!! I got it in "Mocha" and it's the best match of foundation I've ever had from a drugstore brand. This foundation is just as good as and even BETTER than many pricey brands. This is a shock to me. Maybelline has always been cruel to me!!! I never ever thought I'd fall head over heels in love with a Maybelline product. I'm HOOKED! It makes my skin look completely flawless! This will be a new staple!!!!!! And the golden undertone in this shade is a plus! Yellow based foundations are the best. I don't need any concealer with yellow-based makeup. I have combination skin and this makeup will keep my face *even*. The spf 14 and oil-free make this product perfect also. FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD, MAYBELLINE!!!!!!

This is a great product IF you can find a good color. I usually HATE the formulation of Maybelline foundations, but I really like this one. I blends evenly and actully makes my pores look smaller. I just wish they had more yellow toned foundation choices.

This is a great foundation! I normally favor tinted moisturizers because I don't like the feel of most foundations. However, this one is light, easy to blend, contains SPF and looks beautifully natural. I'm actually rather surprised - and very pleased.

This product works for me! The texture is thin, so it's good for hot weather. It's oil free, so there's no worry about clogging pores. Great semi-matte finish, blends easily, and it seems to disappear into pores, scars, and skin texture. If you want a full matte finish, lighty powder. Great buy!

I saw a display for this new foundation at CVS so of course I had to pick it up. It comes in a squeeze style tube and was $7.49. It is oil free and has an SPF 14.
I bought the color Buff and I am usually the second or third lightest in foundations. They have a rather large color selection. This looks very natural on and blends nicely. I have large pores on my cheeks and this foundation actually makes them seem a bit smaller. I've been wearing this for a week and haven't had any problems as of yet.
