    I absolutely hate this stuff and have finally thrown it out. PROS: It looks good on my face or in photos. It feels as if it glides on your face and feels good when you touch your face. CONS:...

    I wrote a review of this product a long time ago. I first used this in a shade that was quite obviously off from my natural skin tone - it just sat there on my face. I was too lazy to really take...

    It would be "ideal" if it resulted in an actual long lasting matte appearance (I love the mousse texture and the way your skin looks flawless the minute you apply it). But, hey, after two hours...

    I like this foundation because it feels great when you put it on. It lasts the whole day and the coverage is great. I am not sure if this would work for dry skins, but it works for my very oily...

    I got a sample of this in a magazine and was extremely impressed. As I was putting it on, the only way I knew it was on my face was the difference in tone. My skin in pretty clear, but it covered...

    I only splurged on this because there was a bonus gift with purchase at the time, but I'm so glad I got it! I have pale, combo/oily skin, and this foundation in Ivory glides on so smoothly, blends...

    Ideal Matte is my favorite right now. But, if you have oily skin this is def. not the foundation for you. It goes really well when set with Perscirptives Magic liquid powder. My skin really sets...

    I have very mixed feelings about this foundation: This is my first "medium coverage foundation." The EL SA chose Linen for my pale but very *ruddy* skin."Linen" has pink undertones and is...

    This product is a waste of money. Especially with good foundations around like Dream Matte from Maybelline. Ideal Matte wasn't matte at all, felt heavy and greasy and looked unnatural although the...

    I also received a sample of this from the EL counter. I can't stand liquid foundations because they all feel heavy from all of the lines out there. Ideal Matte did exactly that, stayed matte for my...

    a revelation. easy to apply, stays on, looks natural, feels great. Pricey, but the trick is using as little as possible. I'm prone to the occasional spot, but this does not make them worse, in...
