This oil-free foundation is formulated with exclusive Micro–fil & trade technology, a patented process that allows the pigments to lay flat on the skin’s surface for a seamless application and a natural, second-skin effect. A tried-and-true makeup artist and celebrity favorite, this hydrating foundation helps sculpt and brighten skin, improve skin texture, and blur imperfections, all while delivering a fresh, long-lasting, lit-from-within glow.

A wonderful, easy to blend liquid foundation with a great finish. Just one squirt can cover my entire face, and at $55, a little SHOULD go a long way! It doesn't take any time at all to get it...

I had very high hopes for this product, as I found so many good reviews on it in magazines. It is so thick and looks so fake on me. It does not look bad, but it gives me that heavy foundation look...

To me, this is a medium to somewhat heavy coverage foundation. It does not melt into my skin like my Shu Uemura foundation, so it gives me a very made-up look, fairly obvious that I'm wearing...

LSF is a little too dry for my skin. I have normal-dry and it holds onto the flakes of my cheeks like no tomorrow! I think this is good for oily-normal. I gave it up for Hydra Glow (perfect!) For...
