   I cannot believe that this only cost about 14$ CAD at my local Walmart. It works really well. I got it in sand. It completely brightens my otherwise dull middle aged complexion. I’ve gotten compliments on this, one by a cosmetician at Shoppers Drug Mart. She was totally surprised when I told her the price! It makes my skin so glowy, yet not greasy looking. I do not need highlight with this foundation, just a little bronzer in the cheeks and I’m good to go. It also lasts a long time. I’ve come home from work after a 9 hour day and there will still be some (not a lot tho), foundation left on the make up wipe. This is my current favorite 🙂

   I’m so surprised this isn’t rated more highly on here – I absolutely love this product. It’s high coverage, yet doesn’t look cakey and it’s a dewy finish when applied but eventually dries down to a more satin finish. It matches me perfectly (I’m an NC35-NC40 and I wear Warm Beige) and it’s so incredibly cheap – it’s honestly the first drugstore foundation I’ve found which matches me because they all tend to be either too orange or way too light. It doesn’t separate or oxidize. The only negative thing I can think of is the smell (hence the 4 star). It doesn’t smell nice when you apply it but for the price that’s something I can deal with. I would totally repurchase this and I’m really happy I bought this instead of my usual MAC.

   Ok so.. the coverage is great! The finish amazing satin and it sets itself! Colour selection is ok … but worse than that is how my skin reacts to this stuff!! It feels like as soon as I wash it off I find pimples and whiteheads that have literally popped up in the few hours I have had it on! I’d rather have to work on my skincare that load on more foundation to cover blemishes so this is a no from me!

   This had decent coverage (medium), but the shade range is God awful. Not to mention that it’s extremely cakey looking and clung to every dry patch on my face. Wouldn’t recommend this unless you have oily skin.

   Pros:

   Decent color selection
   Doesn’t seem to oxidize
   It has a nice dewy finish, so beautiful on the skin
   Covers surprisingly well
   I love that it has a pump
   You can’t beat the price

   Cons:
   Smells a bit weird, definitely has a foundation smell
   Makes me so oily throughout the day in my t-zone (but started using phillips milk of magnesia and it’s been helping a lot)
   It’s only sold at Ulta and online

   Mehhhhh I’m on the fence about this one. I may come back to edit my review once I have more time to experience this foundation.

   First of all, the color selection is TERRIBLE for pale or light-neutral folks like myself. I’m an NC20 that leans neutral (ie. MAC’s NC20 is too yellow for me, while NW20 is too orange). I purchased the lightest shade of LA Girl Pro Coverage, Fair, but it’s too dark and yellow for me. The next shade up, Porcelain, is dark and pink.

   I AM, however, extremely impressed that there’s a huge range of shades available for caramel and chocolate beauties(SIXTEEN shades in total)! So even though this foundation didn’t work for me, I’m hoping it will work nicely for others.

   This foundation’s texture is light, runny, and buildable. If you’ve got a few discolorations here and there, you will like this. If you have heavy cystic acne like me, you may need a few layers or a heavy concealer.

   I was recommended this foundation by many, at a good price i decided to stray from my MAC foundation to this, as an NC15 i brought the shade fair, this was a perfect colour match and i was very pleased with it, however the foundation did look pretty on my cheeks my acneprone forehead did not agree with the formula and it caked around my spots and scars more than most foundations which i was very disappointed in, it also gave me the feeling thst i had a cake on my face, personally i would not buy this preoduct again unless i had perfect skin however then i would not need it .

   I have this foundation in the shade White – Lightener and it’s so useful. I can’t really comment on how the foundation performs by itself because I always use it mixed with others, but I’m so happy I bought this. I have very fair skin and shades that match me aren’t sold where I live, so this product is a lifesaver. It didn’t alter the consistency or performance of any foundation I mixed it with. I will definitely repurchase this.

    I absolutely love this foundation! I have dry/oily combination skin, and this foundation does not cling to dry patches at all and seems to melt into the skin. I also really enjoy the dewy finish it gives. However, I do think that setting powder is a must when wearing this foundation to help keep everything in place and avoid looking super oily after a few hours.
