I use the NC 20 and I think this is a great foundation. It provides full coverage, it doesn't enhance oiliness and -contrary to what some think- it doesn't look cakey on my face. The packaging is...

I have mixed feelings about Studio Tech. I used it every day for a year (NC25, with matching Select Sheer pressed powder and NW25 Select Cover-Up concealer): - It is the BEST foundation I've...

What a horrible product! It's greasy, it looks cakey, it doesn't stay for very long on a face. Good coverage - I wish! I won't buy ever again.

It did give amazing coverage. If you want a natural look this is not for you. I recommend using a moisturizer because this can become very dry and cakey if you don't. If you like a dewy look this...

As someone living a preforming arts lifestyle, I think my opinions may be slightly different in regards to this foundation. This foundation is very heavy, and can easily become cakey. I tried...

This gives such great coverage, I use it whenever I've got a big night planned. I find if I apply it with the sponge it looks too cakey on me, especially for daytime, so I use a foundation brush....

A decent foundation but I find all of the shades make me look relatively orange but that could just be my skin tone. Overall, this usually ends up looking somewhat cakey because it is a...
