    This has become my makeup staple. I never thought I could use a creme foundation, as I have oily acne-prone skin, but Photochrome works wonderfully. I lightly apply it with a foundation brush,...

    Just bought this product after getting acne from MAC and rashes from Shiseido. It's fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and oil-free...so I'm hoping this one will turn out to be the one for me. So...

    I really hate this because its very greasy even on freshly cleansed skin. Its also doesnt seem to cover much and by the end of the day it looks like I dont have makeup on. How do I explain...

    Let me begin by stating that I have never understood Prescriptives packaging. It is hideously unattractive, bulky and impratical. As for the foundation itself, I found it to be only so-so. The...

    I really, really like this stuff. I've bought it several times - it's the foundation I keep coming back to. A little bit goes a really long way. If I need more coverage, I put on a light coating...

    This is an excellent cream-to-powder foundation! First of all, the shade was nearly a perfect match for me (in Warm Beige), and I am very picky about shades. This gives medium coverage, and a...

    I liked this at first, but it made my skin break out, and would look extremely cakey near the eye area after a few hours. It's sad because I loved the color.

    I remember trying this product and thinking it was the next best thing, but it turned out to be a disappointment. The coverage is unnatural looking when you need to touch up during the day and the...

    The color matches my skin really well, however, the coverage is not good. Plus, two hours after application, my skin looks like I never applied a thing. This product doesn't work it my skin.

    I am kinda mixed on this product. It covers and blends well(I use it with the foundation brush). The color matches my skin. However, it feels somewhat heavy on my skin, but then again I'm oily....

    I gave this foundation 4 lippies, because even though I really love it, I find that it goes really quickly. I bought the foundation brush (which I also love) to apply it, so I wouldn't have to use...

    The actual product is great, BUT the packaging needs a lot of work- The mirror is useless b/c it gets dirty and fogged from the sponge anyway. they should just make room for the sponge on top or...

    I quite like the smooth matte sheer texture, but I find it only works when I have clear skin. When I have something to hide, this one can't do a thing. Like that there's SPF and it's not clogging.
