Photo Focus Foundation

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

Firstly the shade range is not good for me. I can't find my shade even when i mix the two closest- soft ivory and soft beige. The undertone is more on the pinkish side.
It is really strange i've never tried such foundation. During application it feels like i mix oil and a random foundation. Ugh, terrible. And it feels heavy, kinda oily and sticky on the skin despite the fact that …Read more

Honestly this foundation was horrible for me. It looked like a mask on me,the shade was too light and overall it's a mess. Maybe this would be good for someone who has a good skin, but for me this is a big no.
I have horrible skin so it is quite hard to find a good foundation.

Solid medium coverage foundation - it could be built up but I haven't tried that much since this has been more than enough coverage for me. It provides a satin-matte finish and works well with my oily-combination skin, my foundation (without primer) will last me through ~6-8 hours before really breaking down.

It comes in a glass bottle with a screw-top lid with a spatula-like …Read more
