I can't believe how poorly this product performed
-04.18.13
I really like Sunday Riley's skincare products. Her Good Genes and Juno serums are outstanding. But this foundation is a complete waste of money. It offers only the tiniest hint of coverage (even less than the sheerest tinted moisturizer sold on Sephora). And when I applied it over Sunday Riley's Skin Adrenaline moisturizer, the foundation appeared to clump and would not blend out. I immediately had to wash my face. This product was a major disappointment.

No coverage
-01.31.13
I usually use tinted moisturizers, so I am used to light coverage and prefer it. This, however, offers almost no coverage. It is a great brand and nice formula, but for this price I expect to love it, not have something I can barely tell I've put on in any way.

Too sheer
-12.21.12
For the price, I expect a lot from this foundation and it doesn't deliver. I love Sunday Riley products, but this is so sheer that it does nothing for my skin.

Easy, Breezy and far more Beautiful
-11.13.12
Quick Take: buildable coverage, light breathable, moisturizing
Great foundation for that natural healthy look. I have used Sunday Riley Skincare but this was my first makeup buy with them(125C), I found it very hydrating and light, but still offering me enough coverage to cover up my blemishes and give me a natural glowing even look.
I would recommend this for people who like lighter foundations and don't need heavy loads of coverage, with the skincare background of SRiley they layer in great skincare properties.
I think I will give the Primer and Cream Foundation a go next.

Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free, skincare
I love how light weight and oil free this foundation left my skin feeling. It could have a little more coverage but for an everyday foundation I found it very appealing for my skintone.

Light and long lasting
-11.07.12
Quick Take: long wearing, light
I can't stand foundations usually, but with how light this is and still having great coverage, I will buy again. My skin felt soft and moisturized and looked FLAWLESS! Beautiful packaging too! I skipped the concealer and go with a primer+foundation+powder combo, looks like porcelain :)

Quick Take: long wearing, light
I loved how soft my skin felt and the coverage this offered. I don't tend to like foundations but this worked great and never felt like it was caked on. Matched my skin perfectly, even got to skip the concealer, covered everything beautifully! Only complaint is the price, but it is better than my makeup forever foundation by far.

Love how it feels!
-11.07.12
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I heard really nice things about this foundation and was anxious to try it! I ordered it and unfortunately I picked the wrong shade...it didn't match my skin tone at all. I've returned it and am waiting on, hopefully, the right shade and can't wait for it to arrive!
I can say that when I was trying on the foundation, it felt amazing! The coverage was completely buildable and didn't overwhelm my combination-oily skin!

Ignore what the packaging claims, this is a SHEEEER foundation. Most tinted moisturizers are better pigmented.

Fab!
-10.17.12
I have been in search for the perfect foundation. Found an excellent BB cream but still needed a foundation. I took a chance and ordered the Sunday Riley Foundation and the Primer. I absolutely love them both! My skin has never looked better, the coverage glides on and truly is flawless. Because I spend a little bit more on items for my face I want to make sure to get the most bang for the buck. I invested in the clarisonic and have no regrets, my morning and evening products seem to work better and my makeup glides on and look healthier.

Disappointed
-10.13.12
I wish there had been reviews of this product before I bought it, but unfortunately there wasn't any. I took a chance and I wish I hadn't. Maybe it's just me, but this product doesn't blend in. At all. It clumps and sticks and just looks horrible. I thought maybe it was the product I had on underneath the foundation, so I used nothing underneath the next time. It wasn't any better. Once I applied my powder (MUFE HD) it was worse. There's nothing good about this in my opinion and certainly not worth the high price. Returning and trying something else.

Disappointed
-10.13.12
I was so hopeful that this would be a new favorite. Unfortunately it wasn't - by a long shot. This foundation just doesn't want to stick to my face. At first I thought it was my lotion and/or my primer. The next time I used it, I left off both of those products and it did the same thing. It clumps on your face and simply won't blend in, particularly my nose (which isn't oily). I thought maybe it just needed another layer of product and that made it 10 times worse. Once I put on my powder (MUFE HD) I looked like a clown. Literally. I was in such a hurry that day that I just had to wipe off what I could with a tissue and head out. Very weird. Maybe the other products are fantastic - this one isn't for me. Wish there had been other reviews when I bought this - I took a risk and wish I hadn't.

Not what I expected
-10.11.12
Quick Take: oil-free
This is definitely a sheer coverage foundation. Would be great if you have minimal imperfections on your face. The color I thought I would be (120C) was quite fair for my skin. Will be returning this one. Going to give Sunday Riley's Creme radiance foundation a shot in 130C. Hoping for better coverage and color match.
