    About the only good thing about this product was the package. It just does not give me the coverage I need (bobbie brown tinted moisturizer gives me more), had no staying power and I didn't find...

    I think this is a pretty good product. I don't wear much face make-up as I'm lucky enough to have decent skin, the only thing I need is a bit of evening out which this is great for. This is pretty...

    This is an overall all right product used on its own. Its consistency is pretty bad and after about an hour, my face is shiny. It does give a very natural look, but turns me a little pale (i got...

    I was very disappointed with this product. I agree with the other reviews - if you would like a primer, tinted moisturizer, etc., then it is fine. I tend to like a whole lot more coverage than this...

    I agree with the general concensus on most fronts. This provides little to no coverage, but as a primer, it is awesome, so I will continue to use it on my face and eyelids. I don't want or need...

    I really hated this makeup. I have a fair skin tone, so I bought the lightest shade (#100) and it just looked blotchy after I applied it.. nothing close to my skin tone. I figured maybe I wasn't...

    I really like this product. It is more of a tinted moisturizer than a high coverage makeup and feels so wonderfully light to wear. I'm usually very pensive about trying drug store foundations, but...

    I don't think I would buy this product again. PRICE: I bought this for somewhere around $10, and while that isn't too expensive, the quality of the product wasn't very good for that price. ...

    I don't buy into that whole "smart" shade business...I find it hard to believe a non-living thing can perform a perceptual task such as "detecting" one's skin color. If the product could do such a...

    I tried this twice. The first time, it turned orange because I was blending with my fingers, and it blended with the color of them, not my face. The second time, I used a sponge. It covered...

    I love this product. It's as easy to apply as lotion. It covers well, looks natural and has great staying power. Another plus is that, I don't have to worry about changing my foundation in the...
