My favorite foundation ever. It works even better if you mix it with a little bit of Make-up Forever foundation and apply with a brush. I LOVE IT and it's worth every penny.

The best foundation I have used so far and it makes skin look flawless. Very easy to use and lasts all day when you use the luminous silk powder over top. Also was easy to find a colour match....

For oily skin, this product looks great. If you apply it right, which, by the way, you only need one single pump, this will seriously last you the entire day, no questions asked. They have a...

I really wanted to love this product, especially with all the rave reviews but I think it's terrible. It pronounced my flaws instead of covered them. I normally use Lancome and only need light to...

This is a nice make up. I switch off between BE and this make up. It is expensive but worth it. It goes on smoothly and looks lovely on the face. The coverage is good, but I have pretty good...

I have this in a 2. Yes, I'm very pale. I really like it. I use a base of Avon clearskin SPF make up, then apply this over using a sponge, and dust with Maybelline DreamMatte powder. The end result...

I do adore this foundation, I usually mix it 1:1 with a moisturiser with SPF to thin it down a little. It gives me a natural glow that one wouldn't immediately relate to foundation or cosmetics,...

I can't believe I've never reviewed this! I splurged on it several years ago, due to the hype that was on MUA. I had the color 5.5, which was a good match at the time (I had a bit of a tan). I...

This is the HG of foundations for me. The 5.5 matches my skin perfectly, and the pump dispenses the exact amount of product. It goes on sheer enough to look natural, but it provides just...

I got a generous sample of this product and used it for a few days but I don't think it suits my skin which is a little on the dry side. I find the formula to be a bit too runny and when applied it...

I wear NW20 in Mac and got the LSF in No. 5. It is a perfect match. Blends in perfectly and it doesn't look at all like I'm wearing a mask. I only use 1 pump for my entire face - so a little goes a...

Ok, can I just say that this foundation sucks? I got a sample tube from the overly-pushy SA at Saks and I've been using this crap for 5 days now--it sucks! It settles into my pores (yes, even...
