I had a sample of this. In daylight, this product accentuated every pore I never knew I had. In poor lighting or at night time it looked beautiful, really sheer and luminous but evening out my...

I started with the wrong shade, but Tim Quinn got me in a 4.5 . Matches perfectly. I have very dry skin from accutane use, so I mix a drop of Armani water in gel softening lotion in with it or...

I really liked this foundation because the #1 shade was the only shade from any makeup line I could get my hands on that actually matched my skintone with the higher coverage level that I needed. ...

I had hoped this would be an HG for me, but proved to be another foundation disappointment. I purchased this in #4, which is the closest match for my NW20 skin. I’d say it’s quite pigmented with...

Totally disappointed in this product. Tried it on at Saks. It did not sink into my skin and looked noticeable. My Prescriptives foundations look a whole lot more natural!

I don't know what the rave is about this product. It's too cakey looking and not a natural/silky look at all. I also don't see what so luminous about it. When I put it on, it doesn't glide on. I've...
