Customer Reviews

First foundation I've loved!
This isn't greasy or drying and the color match for me is great. I use Vanilla Beige and have had a very hard time finding a color that didn't turn ashey on me or look too yellow.
I'd recommend trying to find this foundation first locally so that you can be sure of the color. Sunny Beige did turn grey on me. That isn't to say it would do that on you, just that you need to try it in person (and give it at least 15 minutes to set) before you know for sure.

Excellent coverage
Along with Chanel, this is one of the best oil-free foundations I have ever used. It really gives a flawless coverage and the color stays true even after several hours. It is highly pigmented and the coverage is buildable so you can apply it sheer to heavy depending on your skin need. I have combination skin and I find that my t-zone doesn't get oily too quickly. Another thing I like is the pump bottle which is more hygienic. I find that my skin also looks great in photos when I'm wearing this.

However, make sure that your skin is well-moisturized because this tends to highlight dry areas. Also, if your skin is prone to breakouts, ask for a sample first to see how your skin reacts. When I first started using this, I ended up breaking out after a couple of weeks that's why I switched to Chanel. But I guess it's different for everyone because my friend, whose skin is more sensitive than mine, doesn't seem to have any problem. I'm currently alternating this with my Chanel foundation and so far haven't had any problems.

Feel like a STAR!
This is the first foundation I have ever truly loved! The first time I purchased this oil-free foundation it was hard to trust the rave reviews. Most foundations leave your face feeling oily and unclean, but not this one!

If I could give you one piece of advice about this particular foundation, it would be to purchase the setting powder along with it. The two go hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly. You just can't have one without the other. The foundation is amazing, providing flawless coverage, however I would be a liar if I told you that you will never experience "Makeup-Meltdown" with the foundation alone. That's where the setting powder comes in. Top off your look by sprinkling a bit of the setting powder onto a velour puff and give your foundation a velvet finish. With these two items, you'll leave your house feeling like a star!!
