A really good sheer-medium coverage foundation. It blends well into the skin and covers lightly without looking cakey. My only downside to this is that it isn't the longest wearing foundation. You have to set it and if you have oily skin, you will need to blot. The finish is really nice though so I think it is worth it
Bought this item from Sephora when i was looking for a new foundation. Loved how it covered up what was needed and didn't make my face look like i had tons of makeup on.
Some people really love this product and some people like myself aren't the biggest fans. I had to buy this since everyone was raving about it. But let me tell you, this is NOT for anyone with combination or oily skin. I have combination skin and after a few hours, I feel myself getting extremely oily and I can almost feel the foundation slipping off my face. It doesn't last long and doesn't keep me matte. And those factors are essential to a good foundation. Very disappointed in this product.
This foundation is great for special occasions where you need something that will look great in photos. However, I found that it was a bit too much on a day to day basis and it also did not cover very well. Would I re-purchase? I'm not too sure.. I think I would rather see if there is something better out there for my skin type.
While this product is a little expensive, it goes a long way. I use it everyday and it just covers my face so well that it looks like I am not wearing anything. And supposedly they use this foundation for synchronized swimmers because of its staying power! It is very light feeling and doesn't clump on the face. It is easy to blend if you have the right coloring for your skin. (tip: I asked a sephora rep to help). If you are open to spending a little more money to feel better about your skin and look flawless, I would encourage you to try this product. Do it for yourself!
I find this to be a very natural feeling foundation, it goes on smooth without needing to blend like crazy. Theres a very large collection of shades. I find that is barely has any scent which is exactly what i look for because i can't stand being able to smell my makeup. I find that it smooths out the appearance of my skin and make my skin look perfect and natural in pictures.
The only real complaint i have is that it is not very buildable which most times this is alright as i have fairly clear skin but if i have any very red spots i find that is really does next to nothing in covering them.
Photographs beautifully and a wide range of shades. It gives medium to full coverage but emphasizes dry pathches easily. Also not long wearing in hot weather or on oily skin but works for me on most days.
im an acne/scar sufferer and this covers all my imperfections all day long. A little goes a long way so you could use the bottle for a very long time.
This is comes with a hefty price tag, but if you think about it, it's actually very competitive with others of it's kind, e.g. Dior, Lancome, MAC, etc. It's pricey, but so are the others in it's class range.
This gives medium to build-able full coverage. I don't find it to be cakey at all. In fact it evens out the face without feeling like a lot of makeup. It's very photo friendly, no white flashed face, no sparkly bits. Just beautiful, flawless, natural looking skin.
I put it on at 7am this morning and came to work. I just went and checked, and my face still looks as fresh as ever. I even went for an hour power walk outside during lunch (had to run/walk to keep up with my long legged coworkers! Damn boys don't know how to walk slow), and it kept. I didn't use a lot either. About half a pump for my entire face did the trick. One thing I found with this foundation was it's very build-able, so on days you need a bit more coverage, you can pack a bit more on without looking cakey. This is not so for other high end foundations. For eg. I used to a be a huge MAC fan until I compared their foundation with other companies and realized that theirs are really bad quality for a 'high quality / high price' foundation! Too thick and goes on cakey. Unless your face is perfectly exfoliated, moisturized and the moisturizer has dried, you will look cakey with a MAC foundation (at least that's the case for me). I own Mac Studio Fix fluid, Mac Studio Sculpt, Mac studio tech, Mac studio fix powder and Mac mineralized skinfinish.
Mac Studio fix fluid, Studio Sculpt and Studio tech all are exactly what I said; you need to be well exfoliated and moisturized for it to look good. Otherwise you get the pore-ish, cakey foundation look. Studio fix powder is amazing, I gotta say. Mineralized skinfinish looks like you have glitter on your face if you use too much of it. Used sparingly on the cheeks, bridge of nose, etc. gives a good highlight effect. Looks surprisingly good in pictures too.
The Mac foundations (i'm picking on mac since its so popular) and the mufe hd foundation are competitive in pricing, but I'd def' go mufe over mac.
