    I'm with SherryL on this one--can't understand why there are so many so-so reviews when this is such a good drugstore foundation! These foundations do run more yellow than some, so perhaps color...

    I have always been a dept. store high end foundation girl, and about a year ago I found this, my HG. Wonderful med-light coverage, in a shade that is exactly my skintone (I wear light/beige) so...

    It's just another cheap liquid foundation, even though it's pretty expensive for a drugstore brand. It doesn't do what it says, you need to use moisturizer on your dry parts, and you need to wipe...

    Although I am a fan of L'Oreal, Revlon, and Lancome foundations, this is one that I had to pass up. I do have dry cheeks and a VERY oily T-zone, so I decided to give this a try. WRONG! The...

    Was very drying on my combination skin... did not smooth on well at all & accentuated any dry patches on my skin.

    Ideal Balance worked well to provide decent, fairly long-lasting coverage on my dry / combination skin. I did not experience the greasy, messy results that, apparently, many people did. Okay,...

    This is the only foundation I've found that works for me, and believe me I've tried many. The color I chose, Sand, is just the tiniest bit too light, but when I put my powder on top, it looks...

    I have been using this foundation ever since it came out. I absolutely love it, though I took off one lippie because after a few hours it gets kind oily on my combination skin. However, its a great...

    This product claimed to control shine on your oily spots and to also hydrate your dry spots. It didnt do either!It also irritated my skin and smelled bad.The color selection was bad to! DONT BUY IT!

    First off, I want to say that the discontinued Oil of Olay foundation was the best foundation ever and I compare all foundations to that golden stadard. That being said, L'Oreal's Ideal Balance is...

    I love this stuff. My skin is dry with some slight oil in the T-zone at times, especially warm weather. This gave great coverage and was a good color match and blends well. I would buy again.

    This is a semi-matte liquid foundation. I liked this for a little while, but finally decided it feels too heavy on my skin. The reason I liked it at first was that I found a great color match for...

    The lightest shade (pale) was too dark for me and I'm quite fair of skin. It made my skin look sallow, there were too many yellow tones in this foundation and I had a diffcult time blending it in,...
