For the price and the quality, I like this for everyday use. Though it's not as sheer as I want it to be, applying it with a light hand does mattify my face. I just don't like the "taut" feeling...

Not suitable for oily skins. My T-zone became very greasy after less than 3 hours. Also, the coverage is less than satisfactory.

A nice, simple, cheap foundation. I like the small tube packaging too. The foundation works best spread on a silicon-based primer such as La Prairie's rose illusion primer or Smashboxe's primer....

I dab on a yellow-toned foundation in this series in areas that need coverage and set it with Maybelline's loose powder. Very good coverage, covers pores very well, easy to blend into the skin even...

I really liked this foundation, because its texture is so fine and it covers very well, even at the first smear. However, it doesn't really control shine because my face became an oil field by the...

This foundation has low coverage, just slightly more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. That said, the satiny texture and smooth finish is great. Also, there are a ton of yellowy shades, so it's...
