    I bought this in Beige and it has made my face look dull, sallow and lifeless. It's either too greasy on my face (combo/slightly oily) during a hot day, or flakes when I put it on during cold...

    I made sure to choose the shade properly before buying and finally settled on 'beige' as it looked neutral and yellow-based. Imagine my horror the next day when I tried it on and I looked like an...

    I wanted to like this foundation. However, it felt very greasy on my face, definately not how I want my face to feel all day long.

    I wanted this to work so badly, but it sucked. I have dry/ combo skin and this made me break out. The colors are not that great and it stinks!

    I hated this foundation! Not only did it NOT control oil one bit, even when I put it on freshly cleansed skin it tried to slide right off my face. Maybe this would work for people with very dry...

    I recieved this as a sample, in Beige. Beige looked just off on me, it wasn't flattering. Anyhoo, i did wear it and i thought the coverage was really good and the texture was smooth and creamy....

    The only thing I like about this product is the coverage. Its able to cover my imperfections pretty well....for a couple of hours. But, it doesn't even compare to my usual foundation (Cover Girl...

    Bleh. For a product that feels so heavy on your skin, there's really not a lot of coverage. It feels greasy all day.

    I bought this in beige. I have sensitive combination skin. It feels a little heavy and I probably would not buy it again. It is just a so-so product. I am updating my review on this. The...

    AWFUL! Hydrated every bit of my skin, no mattifying whatsoever! I have a hard time believing one foundation can mattify and hydrate at the same time, it just shouldn't be done.

    I did not like this foundation. It streaked on my skin and made my pores look larger. It did not blend well for me at all and I had a hard time finding a color that would work for me.
