    This sits really nicely on my skin for about two hours, providing a beautiful, medium-full coverage and then it very quickly goes to crap. It separates, breaks up, finds pores I didn’t know I had...

    The Tarte Empowered Hybrid Foundation costs $39 and it comes in 16 different shades. Not my favorite one but I still like it! I'm still not sure if I would repurchase it or not... It gives you such...

    This is more like a tinted moisturizer than a foundation. I live in PA and my skin gets so dry in the winter. Most foundations dry it out even more but this DOES moisturize, it just doesn't cover...

    My mature skin is a bit on the dry side, so I was intrigued by this gel based foundation. After experimentation, I found I got the best application with a sponge. The foundation doesn't seem to...

    I really wish I could love this product because I have dry skin. It has a nice consistency and applied to my skin very well leaving a very natural finish. The con of this foundation is that it...

    I have dry mature skin so this foundation is perfect. It hydrates beautifully and plumps up my lines. It’s very pigmented so go easy - pay attention to how much you use (less is more) and build...

    This is great stuff! The color I got was light neutral even though I'm as white as paper. It looks a bit yellow in the jar but it blends nicely and neutralizes funky skin tones so you look...
