Review on: Bee Luscious - Mineral Photo Touch Foundation in color Linen
Well, when the saleslady put it on me it covered up my acne so well I didn't notice it when I looked in the mirror. Also what I really like about it is that it's weightless and I don't feel it on my skin. I finally figured out that the makeup comes out of the center of the brush. I had been looking at the sides when I was squeezing it and by the time I saw it on the sides way too much had come out. I tried it again this afternoon and I managed to put on just a little at a time and it looks great. I love that the brush is part of it, now I don't have to worry about losing a brush. I like the brush a lot, it's very soft. My cheeks are red from my acne but the foundation got rid of the redness so when I put blush on over it it looked natural. Looking in the mirror I could see the bumps that were my zits but everybody I asked assured me that you can't notice them with the makeup on.
Pros:don't feel it on my skin, built in applicator Cons:expensive, took a few tries to use built in applicator correctly
Review on: MAC - mineralize skinfinish spf 15 nc25
the first time i used this was for my wedding day and i loved how i looked
and decided to buy it, i was so happy with this product. after i ran out i didnt buy it but decided to buy a different mac foundation(S) to try them out.
Im always going back and forth from liqui to powders. a year later i bought this again and for some reason its like i dont know how to use it! when i get a mac makeup artist they make it look flawlessssss but i cant get it to look good it always look cakey it drives me crazY!!
everything else about it is PERFECT maybe practice or maybe the mac fix and perfect or something spray ive heard it helps so maybe ill give it a try .
Pros:flawless when applied correctly and when you know how to use. nice bottle Cons:price , if you dont know how to use you wont like
I really like this foundation for day time. I was looking for something that wouldn't wear off so quickly and this one doesn't. I prefer Chanel Foundations but this is great for quickly applying and has a good staying power. I would buy this again because of the fact that I reach for this product more often than some of my others that seem to need more care when applying to get an even look. I have this in Intensity 2.0 but I think next time I'll get 1.0 instead especially for winter time when my skin is more fair.
Pros:good staying power, not overly heavy, SPF, moderately priced Cons:
I have a lot of redness on my cheeks naturally and this covers it up pretty well. I'm still looking for something better, but this does the trick for now. I have really bad skin to begin with so by no means does this give me the "flawless" look, but I've been buying it now for probably a year, just looking for something else. Good application, I found my color, nice pump bottle, no breakouts. :)
Really good coverage. I found a shade that matched my skin tone exactly. Doesn't look cakey. Provides a little bit of a glow to your skin. However, this product makes me break out every time I have it on all day. I generally just use it if I'm going out only for an hour or two and wash it off when I get home.
Despite it's coverage, I definitely would not purchase again.
Review on: Luminess Air - Luminess Air Matte foundation
Tried the matte formula foundation. It lasts all day and I forgot I had it on. I got compliments on the way my skin looked and I made my mother in law look 10 years younger when I did her face. won't sell it. - its worth the price.
Since I haven't had much luck with finding a good foundation, I decided to try my luck at tinted moisturizers. I've tried a number of tinted moisturizers (clinique, BB, Stila, LM, Lorac, Px, Benefit) and either couldn't get the right color match, it was too greasy, would change color on my skin or would break me out. Someone recommended the Lancome TMs. When I went to the counter, they suggested Aqua Fusion. I got my sample and have loved it since I first tried it. It is NOT greasy, doesn't bother my sensitive skin, is a great match and gives my skin a glow. I'll stick with this one. Great product!
Pros:natural looking, gives skin a glow, doesn't break out my sensitive skin, non-greasy Cons:packaging...I'd like a pump instead of a tube
This is a new staple in my make-up kit--the low SPF makes the TD content low...so you won't turn noticeably white when the flash goes off but still provides skin protection from harmful UV's.
It goes on ultra smooth and dries to a powdery finish--yet does not easily smear off. I apply it with a foundation brush and pat smoothly with a sponge and it works wonders...it blends perfectly well and comes in a variety of different shades.
The coverage with one coat is perfectly sufficient for my skin--but can easily be layered for more coverage. Despite its great coverage, it feels incredibly LIGHT on my face--I forget I have it on at all!
Most foundations either dry out my dry areas, or make my oily areas even oilier--this one does neither, it stays neutral and allows me to control my trouble areas as needed.
This product is NOT oil free...but does not cause me to break out in the slightest or give me oily skin (although I have a naturally "oily" T-zone to begin with)! It is absolutely fantastic!
Pros:Goes Smooth, Powdery Finish, Buildable Coverage, Light Feeling Cons:Contains Oil, Slightly Expensive, Still has SPF with Titanium Dioxide which DOES reflect in photos albeit slightly
Review on: Prescriptives - Virtual Matte Oil Control Makeup
To me this product is ideal for someone with oily, acne prone skin. Since I have been using it I have noticed a gradual reduction in my oiliness and a definite matte look as well. I love this product and I hope you do as well.
Pros:No more oiliness, beautiful complextion, movie star look Cons:None
i have tryed a many foundations. cover girl, maybellen, bareminerals, and a bunch of other drugstore foundations even clinique. by far id say revlon color stay is the best. i love it..good coverage stays on..matched my skin tone perfectly. its a litlle pricey but worth it. its glass too...so dont dropp ittt. it does dry fast so blendd quickly. but over all i love it so farr. the true test is after gym at school tmr.
Pros:good coverage stays on matches skintone well Cons:drys fast litlle pricey
Review on: Sally Hansen - anti-aging airbrush makeup nude tan
this is an interesting foundation, you are supposed to spray it on your hand and apply to face. I have done that and sprayed it directly on my face and both work well. Its really easy to blend and feels so light but has medium to full coverage. I love it!
Pros:affordable, lightweight, nice coverage Cons:may be hard to find your skin color
i recently bought this foundation as never tryin rimmel foundation b4 n im on a mission in my life 2 find the perfect foundation 4 my acne/blackhead/scarred face ive tried a few but not as many as id like coz of price range but thought id giv this a go it says 16 hour transfer resistant i havent actualy had it on 4 as long as that but it lasted all day n nite till bedtime n it still looked fresh its very easy 2 apply aswel i did mine with clean fingers,its a good coverage i actualy do like it still see my scars n spots through this and my redness but guess thats wat concealer is 4
This foundation is the best I have ever tried, and for the price that it is (£22.50), I expected it to be good. I have been using this for about 10 days now and I love it. It covers every flaw, I don't even need to apply concealer first (minus under my lids). It literally does stay on all day, and I don't need to reapply like I did with my last foundation. I've fallen in love with this product, the only flaw I can think of is that there is no pump, so the product is a little harder to retrieve from the bottle.
Pros:amazing coverage, great blending Cons:no bottle pump
Review on: Maybelline - Mineral Power Liquid Foundation
I bought this product on sale for $5.99, it is usually $9.99. the packaging makes the product look darker than it is. The brown packaging makes it look tan. i got it in the lightest shade - Light 0. it made me look yellowish. i am very pale. it does have a lighter feel to it than other liquid foundations, such as loreal truematch. but when i had opened it, there was no nozzle. the nozzle is supposed to be a dropper, shaped like the lid. but when i opened it there was product all in the lid. i guess thats why it was on sale. it was completely sealed but im sure they knocked off 40% of the price because of a damaged batch. i dont understand how a machine can make a mistake like that & you only notice it once its in every store. well, i fell like that was a piece of crap, no im thinking about debottling it & finding something else to put it in. that just irritates me so much. they didnt have a wide color selection. now there is product all over the opening & past the lid. UGH!!
Pros:supposed to be healthier. Cons:damaged contained, weird color,
Since they no longer make Studio Seamless, I bought this. It is a lighter coverage, but covers nicely and leaves a smooth, soft finish with just a tiny bit of radiance. Color has always been a challenge for me, but the Fair F1 works well on my almost colorless skin. The finish is pretty flawless as far as pores go, liquid formula spreads easily and is truly buildable if you want to go heavier. I've had it on now for 9 hours and my skin still looks nice, and unlike the Studio Seamless, I do not look or feel like I am wearing foundation, but the coverage is perfect for me. My skin is normal and no blemishes, a few extremely fine lines; it looks like my skin, only better. I'm not even wearing blush (which I hate) since my natural pink cheeks are not obliterated by the foundation. Dare I say, HG??? Too soon for that!
Pros:covers nicely, smooth, slight radiant finish, lasts for hours, looks natural Cons:Maybe price, but if you like it, price doesn't matter
Review on: Black Opal - True Color Liquid Foundation
I like Black Opal True Color Liquid Foundation. It's a drug store brand but serves it's purpose. I'm a fan of light-medium coverage because they look more natural. However, after using this foundation consistantly for 2 weeks, i noticed my face breaking out a lil. Now, it may be another product but hmmmmmm. it's something else that doesn't sit well with me. I believe it's the liquid aspect and my oily skin. I'll use this foundation as back up when I run out of a better one.
Pros:natural looking, dries matte Cons:oily skin pops back up in the middle of a fall day
I would buy this a million times over. Finally I have found my HG foundation! Great coverage(though I wouldn't consider it full coverage), and it truly lasts all day. I am an oily skinned person, and this(I use it with the ColorStay pressed powder) keeps me matte all day too. I have never had a foundation that did that before. And it doesn't get cakey. It doesn't settle into fine lines. The finish is nice and natural looking. I love that this is widely available, and very easily can be bought during a buy one get one free sale. Best of all no breakouts! Huge plus from me with my acne prone skin. There are a couple of things I didn't like. The heavy perfume smell. It's very strong. It seemed to set too quickly. I had to blend a little faster than I normally do. I seemed to need more than other foundations(though not a lot, just a tad), but the others I have used were a thicker consistency and that may be why. Also I would love it if they offered it with a pump. I have a thread here at MUT that shows a pic of me after 7 hours of use and it's still going strong. I have never had a foundation stay so fresh looking for so long. I am so beyond impressed I can't even tell you. Definitely must try this!
Pros:HG status!, lasts all day, keeps my oily skin matte for hours and hours, no break outs, natural finish, no cakiness, no settling into fine lines, widely available Cons:Smell, dries too fast, no pump, need a bit more product(not a lot, possibly due to kind of thin consistency)
