    Bought this in I00 - palest of the Ivory shade series. Gets points for being pale enough for me without needing to be mixed with white foundation and is quite a neutral shade. I think the shades...

    Updated 11/6 The consistency of this foundation is baffling to me. It takes forever to dry and can be very streaky to apply. I run the gamut of oily to dry skin depending on weather and neither...

    This is a beautiful foundation that really does balance my skin. It keeps my oily t-zone looking matte and it keeps my dry cheeks looking soft and hydrated. I apply the Shiseido Translucent Loose...

    Mehhhh...I'm really torn about this foundation. I wanted so much to love it, but the best I can say is "it's alright." Very mediocre. First, the good: 1) One of the closest color matches I've...

    I have mostly dry, acne prone skin with a few oily areas. This foundation is made for combination skin. It mattifies the oily areas and hydrates the dry areas. This is my go to foundation for...

    First off, I am very wary of any foundation/bb cream/tinted moisturizer, because I have endured 2 years of terrible acne, and now that my skin is doing better, I don't want to screw it up. That...
