This is a pretty good foundation. I use it off and on (usually when i get tired of paying for department store brands). It provides nice moderate coverage. I haven't noticed my face feeling oily...

Got this in Fawn and am so pleased that it matches my skintone C35 so close. Doesn't change color too much (my oily skin causes that) and doesn't settle into pores or little lines. I still set...

I really didn't like this stuff. It had no coverage whatsoever. It was almost like putting nothing on. It was just to thin. I ended up just throwing this out.

It's great, it's non-comodogenic(won't clog pores), the most important thing to me in a foundation. Luckily, I found a color match, Ivory, which is yellow-based. It blends easily, goes on smoothly,...

The first time I used this I thought this was great because of the color match and oil free formula. Then after an hour, I looked in the mirror and the foundation made my skin almost dry like a...

I have a love-hate relationship with Maybelline products. Either they're dependable staples or products of inferior quality. Despite that, I used Shine Free for about a year before finally moving...

Nice foundation that blends easily and dosn't clog pores. Unfortunatly it dosn't control oil very well so it wouldn't be very good for someone with oily skin. I have it in soft cameo, which is a...

A light, fairly gentle liquid foundation that went on my skin smoothly and kept it looking oil-free all day. I may buy this again, at such a good price.

I'm amazed. I didint expect this foundation to actually keep my very oily skin shine free, but it does. I hardly even have to do touchups during the day. The colors are a little on the pink side,...

I've only used MAC foundations before so I was a bit hesitate to switch to a drugstore brand like Maybelline because of the exact color-matching that MAC can provide. However I hated their Studio...
