I really like this foundation, though i would not say this is my HG. Very matte finish and gives a medium coverage. It makes my skin look flawless. Very cheap, and is probably the best drugstore...

Bad colors, looks chalky, REALLY drying, but it's cheap! Seriously, the price is about the only thing going for it. Unless you have really oily skin, look elsewhere!

I love this foundation. If you are very very pale and don't want to go to a department store to find a foundation light enough to match your skin, then try Shine Free. I wear 01 ivory. I think this...

So far, this foundation has proved to be a great choice. Used in conjunction with CoverGirl's "Fresh Look" pressed powder, after six hours my skin is still mostly shine free (excepting my T-zone,...

I finally had to downgrade my initial 4-lippie review to just one after a full week of wearing only Shine Free and looking at myself in every kind of light. The closest match, Nude, seems to turn...

This product is not bad. I really like the color (I use caramel), it is hard to find colors for gold undertones. The coverage is medium. I really like the fact that it comes in a plastic bottle. It...

It has been awhile since I have used this but as far as I can remember it had medium coverage. The container was ok, not really great each time I tried to get some liquid out it just came pouring...

I absolutely hated this product when I tried it about 5 years back when I was in Highschool.. but what i've realised is that you definitely need to apply with a sponge.. instead of fingertips.. it...

The cute little bottle suckered me in. But it was tough finding a good color match. Nude was OK but quite yellow one me. In general, I think Maybelline fails at providing realistic skin tones in...

Nice matte coverage that doesn't dry out my skin excessively, and does do what it promises: cuts down on shine. A repurchase.
