This is a lovely product for me! I am a brown-skinned African American woman and NC50 works well for me. As I read the reviews, I wonder how those who call it "cakey" are applying it. Be sure to...

This has great coverage, which is what I told the MAC salesperson I was looking for. In this regard, and perhaps this one only, it is a good product. The downsides of this product are: the price...

I love the coverage - applying with a brush and finishing with a powder make it go on pretty smooth. However, no question about it, I cannot wear it every day because it breaks my skin out. Not...

This cover's so well! It does feel thick and heavy but perfect for the winter weather. =] I have to wash my face twice to fully get the product off but it is totally worth it.

This is a good product. However, it is too expensive to consider it again. The result was ok, but nothing worth the dollars I invested in it.

I really like this foundation. It gives me great coverage without making me look cakey or like I am wearing makeup... I jus look like I have great skin. My only issue is the color, I had to buy 2...

I bought this for full coverage. Foundation and my skin don't get along, so I wear this only on special occasions - but without fail, I break out the next day. It's like it clogs my pores no matter...

I think this is a great product for people that have normal to dry skin. It blends very well gives a smooth even coverage, definitely a build able product. However if you have a tendency to be oily...

Dislike this. I was hoping miracles, but I think it only applies well if you have smooth skin. With acne and bumps on my face, it doesn't do the job, but if I just have scars, it covers it okay,...

This product is the best. I love how it gives you that dewy, matte look. It acts like a foundation, giving you great coverage. And, you don't even need powder (although I like to use it sometimes)....

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Very heavy coverage. Broke me out. Color oxidized on my skin and the crappy lasting power resulted in orange patches mixed with bare spots after a couple hours.
