This is seriously the most amazing foundation ever! I normally hate loose powders because of the dreaded powdered-doughnut effect, but this powder will not disappoint. I buff the Golden Fair into...

I love this foundation. Perfect coverage, and the quality of my skin has improved! I tried BM first and it made my skin itch and break out, I switched to EM and I couldn't be happier. Plus,...

This stuff is good. Try the sample kit for just the price of shipping to see for yourself. I used to use Bare Escentuals but find this, as my boyfriend pointed out to me, looks less "powdery" on,...

I have oily-combination skin, and I do have some red marks caused from acne. So this formula worked for me really good. However, I wouldn't recommend this intensive formula to those who has...

A lot of hype, but makes my skin worse. I have normal, non-oily, really good skin. This constantly breaks me out (and I never get zits). I'll quit it for awhile and then try it again and it still...

I love EM formulas. I knew at first glance that I would be using the intensive formula for my finicky skin, and the second I got my sample package of foundations, I tried some on. It feels like...
