    Overall, this is the best foundation I've ever used. Color match is especially important to me because it is SO hard for me to find the right shade, with my medium olive East Indian/Desi skintone...

    Absolutely fantastic foundation. I was a little worried about it being drying to my skin but it isn't most of the time, however, it is summer here so I'm not sure how it'll be in winter. I'm...

    I wanted to love this foundation but A.) it looks terrible on my winter skin and B.) it clogged/irritated my pores the very first time I wore it. Now it's not Shu's fault that my skin is a...

    This is the worse liquid foundation I've used so far! Don't waste your money ! This liquid foundation forms in to a clump and becomes patchy. I've tried it with primers, with and without...

    Edit: Took off a lippie as I've noticed that it really can't keep up with my skin these days... Cakes up around acne spots (dehydrated & red) and over time it just enhances the dry spots on my face...

    This foundation is definitely one of the best I've tried, and I've tried many previously top-rated ones on MUA. I had been using MAC studio fix (had to mix NC 15 and NC 20 to get the right colour)...

    Face Architect is definitely not HG, but it may be the closest I can get as far as balancing performance with my multitude of skin sensitivities. Color-match: Best color selection ever for me! I...

    I'm returning this. For me to shell out $45 for a foundation, it has to be pretty much my HG which this wasn't. I first tried a sample right after I had a peel done on my face and I loved it. I...

    This is a great foundation, I wish i could give it a 4.5. It provides medium coverage with a nice natural finish. It isn't too matte and it isn't very dewy either. The color is wonderful. It looks...

    I'm not a fan of foundation in general. I hate how it clogs pores, looks obvious, and hides the natural radiance and texture of skin. That being said, as I get older, I notice I'm needing to cover...
