I've tried so many different foundations over the years in hopes of finding the perfect one- well, this is it! This is one of the few that doesn't settle into pores and wrinkles (I'm 47) and...

I have been using this foundation for 3 years and have so much to say about it. Let me start by saying I have extremely dry, cystic acne prone skin. I also have very silvery/yellowy undertones...

The first couple of days of using this product I was very pleased. After a week, my face swelled and turned red. It looked like I had a severe sunburn. I stopped using the product. My face is still...

Hated this. Thin, watery, no coverage, no moisture, streaky, drying horrible crap. Need I say more? By the way, love Merle Norman generally, but not this stuff.

Merle Norman has such superior products. It's too bad that each studio seems to be guarded by snatchy trolls. Every cosmetic line seems to have an availability issue: have to wait for online...

This is one of my favorite Merle Foundations...HOWEVER it works best for normal to dry and dry skin types..some oily skin ppl can wear it but most oily skin prefers a more matte look

I usually hate liquids but noticed that my powder foundations have been leaving me cakey, and I needed something to cover some red splotches. I have been using the EL Double Wear light, but you...

I have a friend who was always talking about Merle's foundations, so I stopped into a shoppe I've passed by 1000 times, looking for a good shade. I have two Mac foundations are OK, nothing...

Merle Norman Luxiva Timeless Makeup is great, but you must use powder (just a light dusting works) to "set" the makeup. I sometimes mix Timeless with a dab of Merle Norman Luxiva Lasting Foundation...

So disappointed. Looks lovely to start, but gets sort of oily (even on my dry skin) before pulling a disappearing act. Tried it with several different moisturizers, but none seemed to make a...

When I first apply, this foundation seems perfect - it goes on smoothly, evenly, good coverage, nice natural finish. But then it wears off before the end of the day (it gets creases) and becomes...

I LOVED the way this looked when first applied-so dewy and lovely and natural-it just made me glow! But then within hrs dewy turned shiny/oily;( It would be great with a simple setting powder and I...

formulated with optical diffusers, this medium coverage, dewy finish foundation is made for more mature, more dry skin than it is for my early-20s combination skin. the 40+ crowd loves it.

I really like this foundation. It is best for dry skin and it gives a luminous, slightly dewy look with medium coverage. I have rosacea, sensitive, acne prone skin and it has not broken me out...

Another Merle Norman gem. This one gives light to medium coverage, very much like a second skin, it seems to instantly melt into my skin the second I rub it in. It is amazing how it just dissolves...
