Love it!

Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
Finally a foundation that is so light and smooth my skin looks great and lasts all day. My husband can usually spot if I have on foundation but he hasn't yet!

Review 3 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
Great while the bottle lasts
-04.27.13
Quick Take: long wearing
Love the makeup! But, my bottle stopped working 6 months after purchase. There is no easy way to open it and get at the rest of the makeup. At $40 per ounce, I sure as heck don't want to throw out the rest and buy new. I'll probably be looking for a more traditionally packaged product.

Review 4 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
One of my top favorite foundations!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, radiant skin
It's a satin finish, second skin, dewy-glowy-look-in-a-bottle! I can still see my skin through it which makes me so happy because I don't feel claustrophobic or caky. This looks great in photography and on camera as well! I have used this a few times for bridal wedding makeup; needless to say it holds up well and looks fantastic for the big day!
I have shade SMS 4, works well for my neutral light skin tone.

Review 5 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
Pretty Great
-04.24.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free, healthy, light/sheer, for sensitive skin, no breakouts
I use this foundation because I have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts. It will not give you breakouts at all! It feels very light and it is healthy. I don't feel that it dries my skin out and it is not oily. It is a little bit sheer though and you would have to pile up a lot to cover up red marks. I use another full coverage concealer just for those problem areas.
Overall, it is definitely a good foundation. I don't know if I have seen wrinkles disappear but I feel that it is not damaging my skin or making it age faster. I use a lot of serums at night in order to make fine lines disappear and maintain a youthful looking skin palette.
So far, I have tried many foundations and I like this one the best. It works best for my combination skin.

Age spots
-04.20.13
I put the foundation on the back of my hand to apply it to my face with the brush, after about 2 weeks I noticed that my age spots on the back of my hand that I've been so embarrassed about had faded and were almost gone!! My face looks amazing younger smaller pores!!! I love it!

Review 8 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
Love this
-04.16.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I've been using this foundation for a couple years now. Have tried others, but always come back to this.I have noticed that when I do try other foundations, the compliments on my skin stop. When I go back to this, here come the compliments again ! It's light, but still gives good coverage. Does not look makeup-y, even at the end of the day. I would say it's kind of a happy medium between a dewy and a matte finish. Nice. It's oil free, has anti-aging ingredients, and an SPF ! What more could you want ?

Review 9 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
Great foundation!
-04.10.13
Quick Take: lightweight oil-free long-lasting
I used Lorac about two years ago. I then tried Hourglass, NARS, and Vincent Longo, but was not as happy with them, so I went back to Lorac. And I am so glad I did! I forgot how awesome it feels and looks. It's very light, easy to apply, and lasts all day.

Review 10 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
I always come back to you
-04.03.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
LOVE this foundation. I first started using it about 4 years ago and would take "breaks" from it -- trying out different foundations in-between, most recently Naked by Urban Decay. This foundation has been better than any other that I've tried (NARS, Clinique, Korres and Make Up Forever). Light, buildable and long lasting. If you're shopping around for a foundation, TRY THIS!

Review 11 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
-03.21.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I have never been big on wearing any make-up. But I decided to give it a shot. After having an allergic reaction to Tarte Amazonian 12 hour Clay, the girl at the shoppe tested this one on me. I wear it daily and it lasts me all day without feeling heavy or oily.

Review 12 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
!!!
-02.14.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
I've spent many, many years looking for the perfect foundation and I have finally found it. I have pretty light, combination skin and this foundation makes my skin look flawless.
It's light enough that it doesn't feel or look caked-on AT ALL, and it blends so nicely that it doesn't even look like I have foundation on.
My favorite part of the product, though, is that you can wear it however you like. If you're having a good skin day and just need a bit of color, it's sheer enough that you can do that! And if you want a little more coverage, you can layer it up and it STILL looks wonderful all day!

Review 13 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
Great coverage while feeling light!
-01.29.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I have very sensitive skin and Lorac is a great brand of makeup to make sure I don't break out. I love how light the foundation is while providing full coverage. I also like that it has a hint of SPF in it. It stays put all day and is a great base for the rest of your makeup. The foundation also doesn't require powder, in my opnion. I highly recommend Lorac products all around!

I adored the korres rose foundation and have been looking for a replacement since they have discontinued that line. This is about as close as you can get. Goes on smooth, good coverage,leaves my face a bit more dewey than I would like but with a little powder it works great.

Review 20 for Breakthrough Performance Foundation
Essie33
Beautiful
-12.28.12
I needed a winter foundation, and after some research I ended up ordering this one in the lightest shade for my fair skin. It exceeded my expectations, and this is coming from a foundation junkie. It feels like velvet on my face, and doesn't look cakey on areas where I have to layer due to my mild case of melasma. It lasts all day, without primer. Definitely on my top 2 favorites!
