    I expected this product to be a little better after all the hoopla and promises of an air-brushed effect. It was too heavy for me and left my face feeling greasy after a couple of hours.

    I really wanted to buy this after all the publicity it got. I was great disappointed. The SA said I was Linen and for a few days it matched well. Then it became totally orange on me. If I blended...

    Ok, this is the best foundation for me right now! It looks so good! I have combo skin that tends to be pretty dry in the winter, but with breakouts nonetheless. (Isn't breakouts supposed to, like,...

    I didn't like this at all. As with all the other EL liquid foundations (I've tried them all), it didn't go on smooth, accentuated my fine lines, and appeared cake-like in some places.

    This doesn't give a glow at all. It's very thick out of the bottle and is not spreadable. I found it to accentuate my fine under-eye lines. Also the color that suposedly matched me looked orange...

    This product has a nice slip and a creamy smooth formula. I think that if you get a perfect skin match this could work very well for you. The samples I tried were Ivory Beige and Pebble--which...

    Love this foundation! Foundation is probably light to medium, more than I like, so I mix it with water to thin it out. I have normal or normal dry skin with no visible pores, just like it to even...

    I sampled this and did not like it at all. I find it so hard to blend and smoothen out that I gave up after using the tester sample once. It provided no coverage and tho the shade that the SA chose...

    How can EL sell this as "natural" under all types of light? Instead, it's thick and mask-like. It's also rather drying, and it accentuates pores and dry patches. How did this product earn such...

    I so wanted to love this foundation, but it just did not work for me. I'm a PPP with yellow undertones and the lightest warm shade, Soft Sand, was not light enough. It is very matte and combining...

    This foundation did not work well on my super dry skin(over sunscreen of course as this foundation has virtually none to speak of). It provided a powdery medium coverage, which on first glance...

    Nice even coverage, although the sample I received didn't exactly match my skin colour, thus the lack of lipsticks. Also because I found it applied best with fingers, it went all splotchy with a...

    Finally, a foundation from Estee Lauder that wins my heart. It's very blendable, sheer yet of considerable coverage. My skin looks and feels comfy and natural - and of course, better. I don't...

    I tried a sample of this...even though the shade was too dark for me, the actual foundation blended beautifully, leaving a soft, semi-matte finish. The coverage is medium, but certainly enough to...

    This worked just okay, but not great for me. I do not have the best luck with EL foundations though in general- wanted this to be different. It comes off easily and doesn't cover under my eyes...
