    I really tried to like this. But the shades were limited and the texture wasn't great. I used this as an overall foundation and then to spot cover acne. It covered the acne, but the color...

    I just love this stuff! My skin tends to get really oily and I've never found a foundation that lasts all day, so my mom suggested this because it's what she wore when she was younger. I got this...

    This foundation does indeed LAST on the skin. Even if your skin is dry you can use it with excellent results provided you start with a richer moisturizer. The only problem is the lack of good...

    It's a really good foundation. The shade I bought is slightly darker than I thought it would be, but it's still a good match. I apply it with a foundation brush, as it has a siliconey, a bit...

    This is a really good liquid foundation, blends very well, and it is even better when applied with the MN foudation brush. I am also fond of the tube it comes in. Seems to keep it fresh longer...

    I've only used it for 2 days so I can't comment on its long term performance/breakouts. The foundation has a light, siliconey feeling upon application, it's easy to spread and blend, and the...

    Good Stuff! I tried my mom's tube of this foundation because I wanted to see if it was truly long lasting on my very oily t-zone. Most foundations make me oily in about 4-5 hours. But this one kept...

    I tried this foundation when MN first came out with it. I really liked it, but decided to try other things. I have now gone back to the Lasting Foundation. I have no idea why I was searching for...

    This is one of the few liquids I bother to review. Stephabe Marais was nice for awhile but pfffft, it's gone. (See my wisf list!). This liquid is nice by itself but with the powder foundation it is...

    With a heavy heart I gave up my Estee Lauder foundation and the Idealist in hopes of clearing up the "spots" the appeared on my chin. I have chosen to return to the first brand of makeup I ever...

    Besides lending a huge thumbs up on this foundation, I'm sorry to report that the shade "Palest ivory" (my shade, of course) has been DISCONTINUED. I went to get another tube today and there are no...

    I love it! It goes on smooth and stays on all day. It gives me a nice glow all over my face and it's so light I never feel it's there. My face did look goofy with the first one I tried, but that...

    I have to admit this is the best foundation I have found for oily skin. I tried Estee Lauders among many other for oily skin and nothing and I mean NOTHING compares. I am as oily as they come, with...
