    I bought this because I saw that my cousin bought it. She has good taste, and it's one of the few foundations that I haven't tried yet. I bought the 'tan' shade a week ago and think that it was...

    I've used this a few months in 2002 until I discovered Cover Girl Fresh Complexion powder foundation (which is way better IMO). PureStay isn't the worst I've tried but I am not thrilled...

    Excellent! I have this in Ivory. It does impart a bit of a pale cast, but I like that to tone down redness. It mattifies, and gives a sunscreen boost over your sunblock or makeup. Definite...

    I gave this a try. It has a nice, soft texture, but it doesn't give enough coverage. It's not good for oily, blemished skin, in my opinion. I can't say it was the worst I've ever tried though.

    Besides by the not very appealing cover, this is by far the BEST powder&foundation in one. Not only does it include your SPF for when i hit the beach, but the even-ness it makes your face look, is...
