    I agree with shiatto's review down below. While the Light shade was a fine match for me (NC20-25, depending on the time of year), I didn't notice any coverage at all. I'll stick to using...

    I'm really enjoying this makeup. First, it gives a very sheer wash of colour to the skin - it doesn't conceal, although it does tone down my redness. It is just like a tinted moisturizer, but not...

    I used to use Bare Escentuals foundation at $25 a pop and found that this works just as well (for a lot cheaper). My skin is pretty even and maybe that makes a difference here, but I plan on...

    though it is kind of pricy for a drugstore foundation, it is very good. it goes on as a tinted moisturizer but works like a good foundation and lasts all day. love it

    This is a new & innovative idea for a foundation, the foundation comes out white with blue dots and looks similar to a facial scrub. The foundation goes on smoothly and seems to blend well...
