    It provides a nice coverage. However, I like Double Wear or Ideal Matte better. I have combo skin but my skin must be heavily moisturised before this foundation. (otherwise, FLAKY cheeks!!!)

    Well I don't like this foundation at all. I got it when all the major cosmetics companies were introducing foundations targeted at combo skin. I have normal/combo skin and wanted to try it out....

    This is quite a nice foundation, but it emphasizes any dry spots. (It doesn't really moisturize AND absorb oil...) I would recommend it for summer wear or for someone with no dry skin. I won't buy...

    I've been using this for 2 weeks now and I haven't broke out from it, so thats always a plus. I find that this foundation looks dull on my skin, making it a little grayish. I have dehydrated skin...

    I've been to 3 Estee Lauder counters, and they all recommended the same shade, which was impressive to me. (In the past I've had such a wide range of "perfect" shades.) I don't know what made me...

    The best feature about this foundation for me is the fact that it does what it says, keeps my T-zone from being oily and keeps the rest of my skin soft and moisturized and stays put all day! It...

    What is the shea butter in it for? That ingredient alone is bad enough for ppl with combination (N/O) and acne-prone skin. And yet this foundation is labelled as oil-free, non-acnegenic. Whatever!...

    After trying many EL foundations, this is my favourite. It has a light texture but still gives good coverage and doesn't have a cakey matte finish. I'm also impressed with the colour (warm ginger)...
