Quick Take: moisturizing

I love how this foundation feels on my skin and I am pleased with the way it blends in on application. I think the spf and anti-aging properties are a plus and I really love the way it dispenses...no wasting

Wonderful in (at least) two ways - 12.31.08
Quick Take: moisturizing, good for older skin

This foundation was recommended to me by a friend with sensitive skin. After one testing I fell in love with it. The added plus is that it's got a dispenser that retracts after you pump out the little bit you need. This means, no spilling, no overuse, no contact with the fluid, so it's always fresh.

GREAT FIND - 12.30.08
Quick Take: not oily

I tried a sample and found that this actually takes care of filling pores without caking. It's oil-free which is a must and has pretty good staying power -- I top it off with a little Bare Escentuals if I want a bit more coverage or just buff on some Smashbox Halo at the end of the day to start fresh. Easy & great addition to my routine. Wearing it alone is great for a quick run to the store or walking the dog. Would give it 5 starts but it is a bit pricey.

LORAC Breakthrough Performance Foundation - 12.28.08
Quick Take: moisturizing

I love this product! It goes on very smooth and looks natural. It's one of the best makeup products I have found lately. I'm on my second bottle. I don't usually use up all my foundation before changing to something else, but with this I used all of it. I would highly recommend this.

Just okay - 12.28.08
This foundation was okay. It went on smoothly and evenly, and I liked the idea that it was sulfate free and provided an SPF. However, it did not last. Within a couple of hours there was nothing left. Too much money for only an okay item.

A Great Foundation - 12.27.08
Quick Take: smoothly flowing

I bought the LORAC foundation after receiving a sample from Sephora with an order. I especially like that it is both anti-aging and oil free. I like the coverage and love the pump bottle.

smooth & light - 12.25.08
Quick Take: moisturizing

This foundation is awesome. I think it rivals Vincent Longo's Water Canvas (who no longer carries my shade...) with it's almost watery feel when you apply it. When it's on, it makes my face look velvety smooth and very natural looking. The coverage is about light-medium and I would use a powder to set it.

Best Foundation Ever! - 12.25.08
Quick Take: moisturizing

I have a graveyard of partially used foundations, and have never found one that delivers the type of results this one does. I evens out discolorations and makes skin look velvety. I find myself rationing it so it doesn't run out as fast!

Great if you don't need a lot of coverage. - 12.25.08
Quick Take: luminizing

This foundation glides on, blends perfectly into skin, lasts all day and does a fair job with keeping oil at bay. However, if you have acne or acne scars, I wouldn't recommend this foundation. The coverage is VERY sheer.

Quick Take: moisturizing

I am just beginning to get fine lines and wrinkles. In addition I also have oily skin. It has been hard for me to find a foundation that works for both of my issues. This is it!

Quick Take: great finish

Lorac Breakthrough Performance foundation in SMS 2 is perfect! Most foundations have left my skin oily with a caked on look; Lorac's leaves my face soft, with no shine throughout the day.

excellent - 12.12.08
This foundation is light on my skin but covers well. It does not sit in my fine lines. I will only ever buy this brand again. I have very fair skin and it is very hard to find a foundation to make my skin tone completely. This is the perfect foundation!!!

Breakthrough Performance Foundation "WOW" - 12.10.08
Quick Take: hydrating

I pride myself on always using high quality foundation..at least...I had gotten a free sample of this particular product in a previous order, and loved it soooo much I ordered a full size..It goes on smooth..is oil-free yet hydrating. It is anti-aging..believe me..my face has a wonderful soft glow, this foundation in #SMS2 makes my skin look younger..I don't have a whole lot of fine lines, but this makeup seees to address those problems and more..I LOVE IT...I don't usually rave about make-up...but, I'll make an exception for LORAC..I also ordered the DOUBLE FEATURE concealer/highlighter in light...excellent...

This is practically perfect makeup - 12.10.08
Quick Take: moisturizing, flattering

The best liquid foundation I've ever used. I will probably get a darker shade next time but even with it a little light, I love the feel and the coverage - not too heavy and not invisible.
