This is the WORST foundation I have ever used. Not only is it insanely expensive for a drugstore product, the squeeze-tube packaging gets the makeup everywhere. The formula is absolute garbage. The...

I have a love hate relationship with this product. Yes it lasts long but it sinks into your pores and fine lines like no other. I have oily combo skin and am 35 years old so I have some fine lines...

It wasn't horrendous but it did accentuate my pores and I didn't like the liquid to powder type finish. I agree with the reviewer who said it gives a "dry mask" type appearance. I tried it with and...

I've got the oiliest skin of any woman that I know, and that's why this may become an HG product for me. If you're dry or even mildly oily, go find another foundation. If you're really troubled by...

I'm so impressed by this foundation. I've never really like any other of L'Oreal's foundations I think it's because I could feel them on my skin or the scent was too much. I've only wore this a few...

No, no. I admit that I wore this only once. But that was more than enough. I didn't like the texture. It settled in my pores (even though they are not that big). My skin just did not look good...
