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.

Vichy Teint Ideal Cream Foundation

I used to use a lot of Vichy products and I know they make excellent products with above average quality. I didn't expect, however, to love their foundation as much as I do. The cream version of Teint Ideal is rich, creamy and illuminating. My skin looks AMAZING when I use it -...

M.A.C Pro Longwear nourishing waterproof foundation

This stuff is the holy grail of full coverage waterproof foundation. It does not move in water. Seriously, I tried it, in pools, lakes, rivers, and the ocean. It feels a bit thick on the skin, and can break apart after 8 hours on your face, but it works amazingly well.
SeneGence Foundation

Jumping on the SeneGence bandwagon I bought myself some of the SeneGence Foundation (non-anti aging format) and was excited to use it because of all it's hype. I was extremely disappointed. The thickness of the foundation is unreal. it feels like you have an actual face mask on...

Every time I use this foundation it feels like I'm being really fancy. You can really tell that it's a high quality product. The powder is so soft and it feels so nice and smooth on my skin. Very little goes a long way. This is one of my favourite powder foundations.

Its a great product for personal use if you don't use a whole lot of other products but I wouldn't say that its suitable for stage and set. I found it dried rather quickly and had been streaky powders did not go.on well after the foundation application and when mixed with 244...

I love box subscriptions and this may be my favorite. Every products are really nice quality and useful. They give such a great variety (Makeup, lifestyle and even snacks). The only thing is that everything depends on the month's box. Sometimes, one box is more useful/worth than...
NYX HD Foundation

Bought this new foundation over the weekend, I'm such a NYX fan, I decided to put aside my M__ foundation for once to try another. Great decision! Coverage not as full as my other brand but great for the summer at a faction of the price.

I for one am very sold on E.L.F. cosmetics! I like the price and the quality is really nice. I have to watch certain brands because of allergies, but I didn't have any trouble with this foundation. I think this product is more suited for winter as it is a heavier foundation, but...

This blends well with my skin tone. I like the medium coverage. Does not feel cakey or heavy. The product is long wearing too. I have purchased multiple times already. The bottle lasts a long time too as one pump is all I need.

I was originally skeptic about buying this product as I had saw the ads on Facebook and thought it was probably a scam that would take my money and deliver some crappy product. I ordered a pale but could have gone a bit lights. It is waterproof to a degree, but it certainly...
