<img src="http://beverlys.net/wow.gif"> I'm VERY impressed with this. I normally don't use low-end foundations because they break me out or don't blend properly or just don't look good, but this...

Formulation-wise, this is a great foundation. I would buy it again if it was available in a better selection of colors. The lightest shade (Ivory) was too dark for me. I wish Maybelline would make...

I love this foundation. I have very pale skin & it's hard to find a color that looks right on me, but Ivory is perfect! It makes my skin feel very smooth, as well as keeps the oil away, covers up...

I bought this attracted to the claim that its shine free. What a nice surprise!! It does control oil extremely well, and it makes my skin look smooth and flawless. The price is also unbeatable at...

When I had oilier skin (before using PC skincare) I swore by shine free foundation. It's one of the few maybelline formulas that comes in a light enough color for me. It blends well and leaves a...

Funny, I didn't want to like this makeup. But, I do. It's hard to be a "makeup snob" when something really works well and looks good. It is one of the few foundations that keeps my face from...

This does make your skin look nice and smooth. But the shade choices are all too pink! Girls with yellow undertones in their skin, stay away!

I really like how smooth and velvety this felt going on. However, it looked kind of ashy on me (I used Golden Beige/Fawn), probably due to the tan I've gotten lately. The next color up looked too...

I have oily skin in my t-zone, so I decided to give this a try. Overall, I would say that I like how my skin looks in this right after I put it on - it's not the best matte foundation, but it's...

This is my favorite low-end foundation! It has a nice variety of colors and it goes on great. The only thing is you have to do some super moisturizing if your skin is at all dry cause as someone...
