    Overall I'm very pleased with this product. However it's not for everyone, and it requires that you prep your skin before use for best results. You should also get the matching concealer for best...

    This product was not what I was looking for. First of all, since it blends in with your skin (which it does) it dosn't cover alot on your face. Also every time I wore this makeup, later on in the...

    I bought this foundation because it came with a bonus concealer. I bought the light/medium even though I'm a tad pale because I hate make up that makes me look like a ghost. Big mistake. It looked...

    I bought this foundation over the weekend and I really like it! It covers everything well and actually helps my red spots look lighter. It blends perfectly, most foundations I use turn orangy on my...

    Edit: After wearing this through the work day and through an allergic reaction, I have to say that it is a bit too sheer. I spreads on easily as a liquid and dries pretty fast but it just doesn't...

    I have tried this a couple of times and although it is great for the oilier parts of my face, it's not moisturizing at all on the dry areas. Ohh, and the product is a little too runny for the tube...
