Great foundation on days where my skin is feeling flakey and dry on tretinoin! I usually stick with satin to matte foundations, but I still enjoy applying this one for a luminous, no-makeup makeup...

I've been searching for my holy grail foundation for years. I thought I'd found it in Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk but it didn't blow me away. I've tried Nars, L'Oreal, Estee Lauder and many,...

At 52, I'm tired of wearing a full face of makeup every day. I love my HG Estee Lauder Double Wear, but I don't need full coverage all the time, like work or running errands. Ive also stopped...

Let me just say that it took me time to appreciate this foundation. In the summertime I found it a little bit to Dewey, I have combo skin. Now in the winter while my skin is super dry, it really is...

Like skin, not glowing, just moisturizing. Doesn't settle in lines. Wish color selection were more cool tones. Ivory closest for me.

If I take price into account, this foundation would be a 4.5 out of 5. However I don't like rating things based on price because then that leads to very misleading review scores where average...

UPDATE: After using this continuously for a few weeks. I'm not quite as fond of it. It's starting to become super glowy to the point I'm oily. It also moves around on my face and settles in places...

This is a super duper glowy foundation. It is the opposite of matte. It does on well, blends in and does not sit in my fine lines like many other foundation. I have a ‘normal’ skin type but I can’t...
