    This product has totally changed the way I feel about foundation. I stumbled accross it here on MakeupAlley, was curious and ordered the sample pack from Illuminare's website. I was suprised that...

    I am really enjoying this foundation and I want to say right off that this base goes further than any other one I have ever tried. I was not sure what color or what version I wanted from this brand...

    I tend to careen around in my foundation use for no particularly good reason except that I get bored, and this foundation had languished in my makeup basket since last winter. I pulled it out...

    I've been using Illuminare for probably the past six years or more, and it's my holy grail foundation, for sure. Every once in a while I get the urge to be more "natural" and use only powder...

    How frustrating. This applies beautifully - and looks so gorgeous for about 30 minutes after application. But my face turns into an oil slick about an hour after I apply it, and 2 or 3 hours...

    <html> <body> <p> This product is more like a tinted moisturizer (on the more pigmented end of the spectrum) than a foundation. On my oilier days I don't require a separate moisturizer (which I...

    Bought the sample package, it is by far the best foundation I've ever used (believe me, I've tried a lot). First of all, the most critical for a fdn is the colour matching. I mixed equal amount of...

    I wanted so much to love this product, but unfortuately it did not work for me. It caked off my skin and showed large dry patches. In the beginning I thought it was because my skin was too dry. I...

    If you have sensitive, acne prone, or oily skin do NOT use this foundation. I have no issues with the coverage or the colour. Nor do I have any qualms about their customer service. (They shipped...

    I have been using this for a week now and I love it. I had been using Alima powder mineral makeup and just found that it was too drying, and pooled and caked in my oily t-zone by midday. I have...

    This is nice. The coverage is good and but not so heavy that you look embalmed. The tube pkg is ok but sometimes you have to "massage" the tube so that this oily residue doesn't shoot out first. ...

    This is a really great product. Mineral makeup is the only kind that doesn't break me out if I sleep in it... not that I do that ;) If you are sick of the powder kind like me and want a dewy finish...

    This makeup does stand out in terms of not clogging pores but their color selection is so poor and there is a lot of gray tones in this formula. On oily areas this will need touch ups , I wish this...
