Photo Focus Foundation

I really like this foundation, good medium coverage and the shade I chose is close to my skin tone. If you have oily skin, you will need to set this foundation because it will crease, move, transfer, and separate, BUT if you use a good setting powder that foundation will not move and I find it looks very skin like on me. A few cons I have with this foundation is the smell, although it smells like …Read more

An ol' favorite. I love/hate this foundation. It doesn't have a pump but a weird plastic applicator thing, it stinks like paint while you are applying it (the smell doesn't last a lot tho), the coverage is nice, medium/buildable, it blends nicely and can be builded to the full coverage look, also works wonder with almost every concealer I have tried on top. My issue is the lasting …Read more

Actually looked pretty nice but made my oily skin really really oily within a couple hours

This is one of the worst foundations I've ever used. It stinks like paint. It looked absolutely vile on me (my skin is combo as in slightly oily and normal and is in very good shape with no major issues), it was heavy feeling and looking, grotesque, mask like, dry, patchy, cracking and just super ugly and unflattering....This reminds of cheap Halloween makeup. The shade range is weird, I …Read more

This is an excellent, budget friendly option, that out performs many, much more expensive brands that I have tried! I have combo oily/dry skin, so I am quite picky about foundations, especially when it comes to holding up over my oily areas (nose/forehead). This one stays matte over my oily areas almost all day (and Midwest summers are HOT and HUMID). This has solid medium coverage, with just a …Read more

Yes, it does smell vaguely like paint, but it dissipates and it's not that strong. No, it doesn't have a pump but for $7.99 (at CVS), I don't expect one. It does have a convenient little paddle attached to the cap so you can dab it onto your face without pouring some onto your hand, which I hate to do. So wasteful. It covers well, it's easy to blend, and they have my shade!!! …Read more

Foundation does awful things to my acne prone skin.
I found that this foundation shows all my texture and does not cover any of my blemishes or acne unless I apply so many layers (which ends up with my face looking cakey). The foundation feels very sticky and you definitely would need a powder over the top. Not suitable at all for my oily skin type. The only pro I would say is the price.

I am not a makeup guru by any means. I barely know the basics when it comes to application, method, wear, usage, etc.

But know this... This stuff is awful.

It doesn't cover much unless you really cake it on. It has a horrible applicator wand which makes no sense and is completely useless. It has no sticking power at all. Worst of all, it just sits on your skin. Every time I …Read more

This is on par with the ordinary foundation for me. It is a lightweight, medium coverage, natural skin finish foundation which has never broken out my incredibly sensitive, very oily, acne prone skin. I love that this foundation is cruelty free, has no lingering scent after application, and comes in a glass bottle opposed to wasteful plastic.

The shade range is passable, but I find it …Read more

it’s a great mixing foundation. i have this in a pale color to mix n match my diff foundations. always ends up great but isn’t high coverage. i probably won’t repurchase
