Photo Focus Foundation

I purchased this foundation hoping it would be just as good as some of the make-up gurus make it seem, but it was just a big let down.
The price point for this foundation was honestly good. It was around 7 US dollars and I bought it from Kendra. The shade range was pretty minimal, the shop having just four shades available, but I somehow found a pretty good match. The packaging is not too …Read more

Not a big fan of this formula. I bought it because all the beauty guru videos claimed it was SOooo good. My skin is just a little on the oily side, but not oily enough that I have to have a setting powder (although I usually use one, it’s not a have-to). When I apply this, it seems to take forever to “settle” into my skin, if that makes sense. It’s like it glides over it & looks really …Read more

This is so pretty! I regret not trying this foundation sooner, I kept eyeing this but tried the more expensive drugstore foundations instead which I do like but there is just something about this foundation that I like more. The applicator is iffy, not something I'm in love with but it does work well. Is super easy to blend and the shades are all labelled with what kind of undertones they …Read more

I was really hoping to like this one since you cannot beat the price of it, but unfortunately just like the NARS Natural Radiant Foundation, it easily rubs off when I rub my nose (which I apparently do often at work without consciously knowing it!) The overall look of the foundation is nice on the skin, medium coverage and looks pretty smooth even after a full day's work, but because it …Read more

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
