Perfect for me- 11.18.09
I'm really glad I found this product. I have splotchy, oily skin, and breakout somewhat frequently, so the fuller coverage is perfect for my needs. The color is very natural and it does a beautiful job of controlling oil...I never need to reapply.

My Fav Foundation!- 11.16.09
I usually have a hard time finding the perfect color match. Im inbetween fair and light and i have a lot of redness. This foundation (#25 for me) works great in tandom with a good concealer. I like that I can build coverage as I see fit. It blends well, and doesnt look like Im wearing a mask (as long as properly blended). I also like the fact that the bottle is a squeeze top so i can get as little or as much as I need. Considerably better than the pump tops. I have pretty sensitive skin, and so far hasnt broken me out, or excentuated any dryness or oiliness. All in all two thumbs up!

Awesome foundation!- 11.16.09
I think I finally found my HG foundation! Gr8 coverage, stays on all day, keeps my blush bright. Hides everything. AND the color range they offer is fantastic.

Make up looks awesome for the first 2-4 hours after application, but after awhile the makeup fell into the lines around my mouth and made me look like I had big deep wrinkles! I don't even have wrinkles yet so I can't imagine what it looks like on someone who does.

Not for me- 11.15.09
I need full coverage to hide my blemishes and acne scars. This doesn't provide enough coverage and because I have large pores, it seems to draw attention to them instead of masking them

Stays Put!!!- 11.14.09
Quick Take: matte
If you want a foundation that does not move all day then this is the one for you. It stays very matte on the skin so if you have combination/oily skin you will love this product. It does look nice all day and no mid-day touch up is needed. You will want to use a makeup remover with this item. I use Urban Decay and it works great.

Quick Take: thick
I can't believe it but I actually found a shade that is too light for my skin! I had to return it due to shade mismatch and decided to try the HD Invisible Cover instead. I like the idea of velvet matte finish but this was a tad too thick for me.

wonderful foundation- 11.12.09
Quick Take: long lasting
This is the best foundation for combo/oily skin. I tried others and this one really stays on. I use Laura Geller balance-brighten over this to set it and wonderful results. I have super oily T-zone and this works.

great- 11.11.09
I have been using this for a over a year now. I changed to this when my old version got discontinued and really like it. Although it is quite thick (thicker than the last one), it gives good coverage for going out at night. SinceI like a lighter coverage during the day, I generally mix it with some moisturizer before applying. It makes it go on more easily and results in a ligheter coverage. A good color.

Great Full coverage foundation- 11.11.09
If you're looking for a full coverage foundation, this is it.. I love that it hides all of my imperfection without having to use concealer and of course oil control. No shine all night long!!

Flawless- 11.11.09
I love this foundation! I am not one for liquid foundation. I always thought it was too much, but NOT THIS ONE! You can put a little or a lot on! Doesn't matter! It blends beautifully! Your skin looks flawless! I look amazing in all of my photos, not overdone! Thank you Makeup For Ever. You are mine For Ever!

Nothing special - returned it- 11.10.09
Quick Take: uneven
I was excited to try this - but turned out not to work for me. It sunk into all my pores and made my skin look dry and very uneven. I even tried this makeup with a primer and it didn't help.
This is not the makeup for me - I will keep looking.

Best Matte Foundation- 11.10.09
This product is light on application yet provides the best coverage. This works best for those who have a slightly oily complexion. I use it everyday, and it feels like I'm not wearing any make-up! Highly recommend!

Heavy, but stays on well- 11.10.09
Quick Take: full coverage
I did my research before buying this product so I knew I had my work cut out for me. It does give very heavy coverage, this is not for the faint of heart. I can give some tips on making it work: apply it with your (clean)fingers or a sponge if you can - this is so thick my foundation brushes left tiny streaks, and I have high-quality brushes. Not a huge deal, but it still bugged me, I felt like I got a much smoother look using a sponge applicator and blending with my fingertips where necissary. The real key to making it look like you're not wearing a mask and making it not move all day is a good finishing powder. I bought the trial size of MUFE's high-def finishing powder to put on top of this, and I love it. When you put the powder on over the foundation with a kabuki brush, it gently smooths out any imperfections from the foundation being as thick as it is, and gives a beautifully finished, airbrushed look. I do still have to touch up during the day, but not much.
In conclusion, this is a great product, but it has a learning curve to apply - be ready for it!
