The key to getting this foundation to work is preparing the skin. This is true of most foundations but especially true of thicker formulas that are matte. In all of Charlotte's makeovers, she...

I'm surprised by the bad reviews. I have extremely oily skin and this foundation looks great all day. It looks radiant without appearing oily. It has decent coverage and is not thick.

I'm surprised about all the negative reviews on this foundation. I have oily skin and it's always looked really nice on me. I wear shade 4 and I'm NC20 in MAC. I would say it's medium to full...

This basically does everything I don't want it to do: sits on top of my skin, clings to small dry patches, wears unevenly and patchily, and looks incredibly heavy, noticeable, and unnatural. I...

This foundation is advertised as a high quality one and aims to be compered with Estee Lauder, Dior, Chanel etc brands but it's not even close to these brands. It's close to NO7 or Revlon but with...
