Foundation Reviews

Peaches 'n cream-complected young people need not apply, but the rest of us need a little help evening out skin tone, hiding sun damage, and masking enlarged pores.  That's where a proper foundation comes in.  There are two main ways to use this product: mineral powder (praised for its non-comedogenic and natural sun blocking properties) and liquid formulations (best for creating a dewy glowing look).  Be sure to change your usual shade by season to best match your natural tone.  If you can't decide between two shades, go for the darker one to give your complexion warmth and mask flaws better.

ChickAdvisor members give props to powdered foundations from Bare Escentuals bareMinerals, MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation, and Maybelline New York Mineral Power Loose Foundation.  High marks for liquid formulas belong to Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse, Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Makeup, and Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation.

I find this product goes on nicely. It covers more than most I have tried, although my melasma is still noticeable after applying it. It is a true matte foundation, there is no shine

I really enjoy using MUA products because they’re great value for money. Particularly the foundation and the pressed powder. I find that it is affordable but also have great results. The coverage is really nice and definitely worth the money.

This is a wonderful drugstore foundation. You can build it up to be full coverage, but also apply it lightly for a nice day time glow. It buffs out well with a beauty blender or with a brush.
Smashbox liquid foundation

This foundation is perfect for combo or very oily skin. I cannot sing it’s praises enough. It doesn’t need a bunch of other products to go with it. Powders, concealers, primers…This you can use on it’s own for great coverage.

I love this foundation, it matches my skin tone perfectly and with so many shades there is one for just about everyone ! It’s the perfect coverage , not too thin,not too thick and blends really well. Best applied with a liquid foundation brush for the perfect finish !
Boujois foundation

This product is honestly amazing. It gives a very natural look, it glides on easily & even has a light peachy scent to it( nothing overwhelming) it's more on the expensive side but still affordable. A little bit goes a long way, it's very matte but you can fix that with a dewy...

I first got this foundation when I was 17 and had many acne every where. This foundation is amazing as you need the lightest layer to hide any imperfection. It also works as a concealer so I don't need to use a separate concealer with this saving me time. It is not greasy and it...

For a drug store brand foundation it is quite good. It goes on smoothly and does cover most imperfections. It still does get oily around mid day but over all a pretty good product

My go to foundation. I use the palest shade and its perfect. I like the one for combination skin as it's slightly mattifying but still looks dewy. It's good medium coverage and blends beautifully.
