    This is the makeup that I have been using for about 3 years and I absolutely love it. It's smooth, it covers, and gives your face an innocent glow. I use the foundation to cover up blemishes and...

    I think it's very odd that this is marketed towards people who have skin issues. I can't imagine this stuff doing a really good job with people who have very dry or even oily skin. My skin is well...

    If you want light coverage and if you have oily skin this would be great for you! I need medium coverage and have normal-dry skin so it was not good for me. It broke me out too! I was really...

    I used to LOVE this product, but then after a while I began to notice that my face seemed to look greasier and greasier as the day wore on. In fact, there was less oil on my face when I DIDN'T put...
