I did not like this product at all. I have very oily skin and I was looking for a stay put foundation. I received a sample of the Florentine Fair and it went on very cakey and thick. It looked...

I can't use this as a foundation but HIGHLY recommend it as a solution for "oily nose". I finally found something I can wear along with a powdered mineral makeup that won't let even a hint of...

As close to my HG foundation thus far. It is kinda thick and maskish when first applied but I really need the durability of this foundation in the humid environment I live in (Hawaii). Plus I...

HOLY GRAIL! This is the best "wet" foundation I have ever used (I mostly use mineral powders but this is the exception). Takes a bit of practice to apply, you might have to really work it into your...

Covers very well and not overly matte. I won't buy again because it didn't last all day. I have combo skin and I had oil breaking through after a few hours of wear. May work better in the winter.

Very good coverage and goes on matte. As the day went by however, it separated on my face in blotches, and I got pretty oily. I don't ever shine with MUF or B.E., so I don't think I am over oily....

Best daytime foundation for oily skin ever. It evens out and mattifies your complexion like nothing else. Go one shade lighter that what you usually are, because should your skin decide to become...

This was another foundation that went on like a thick mask and it didn't control oil, at all. The foundation separated on my oily skin after a few hours.

When I first tried this foundation, I thought it would be my Holy Grail. My skin looked poreless and perfect -- the lightest shade, Amalfi Alabaster, even matched my ghostly-white complexion. Alas,...

Now I'm an oily gal and I do need coverage, but this is ridiculous. It was soo matte that my face looked like I had on a MoM mask. But it provides great coverage and a little goes a long way. It's...

Yuck, yuck, yuck. This was dry, thick, and cracked all over my face. It accentuated anything wrong with my skin. Coverage is completely opaque, but too thick and drying for under the eyes.
