    I didn't use this as an every day foundation. This came in a kit my school's drama club, and it's extremely dark and orangey in it's lightest shade. But, coverage is full, and it works well for...

    I am a slightly neutral NW10-15 for reference. I tried the Matte Foundation in SH-1 Fairest. Neither the formula nor the color worked for me. Essentially this foundation was heavy feeling, yet was...

    Amazing foundation. I came from using Ben Nye Creme Foundation which provides a full opaque coverage. I was very pleasantly surprised with this one. It gives a medium blendable coverage, not as...

    Reading some of these reviews has me a bit puzzled. This is a creamy heavy product produced by a company that specializes in (theatrical)makeup that is meant to be pigment saturated and full...

    We use this foundation at school and I have to say that I am not a big fan. It applies best with a brush, I found that using a sponge makes it apply very patchy. It is a full coverage foundation....

    OMG!!! This foundation is TOO DRY. I bought it for my T-zone that gets extra greasy during the day, since I highlight those areas anyway, and I know it's matte, but it's just too dry. I don't know...

    Well, if you want to cover your face in greasepaint - this is the thing for you! Lots of raves on this product - I seriously don't get it. I have oily skin that is also quite dry in winter. ...

    I bought this product at a costume/theater/actor store. It was around $6. It has a heavy coverage that I like and it's blendable when warm. In winter the pot needs to be warmed up with a blow...

    This product is excellent for the price. This foundation is probably some of the best that I own, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. For starters, this foundation is not "matte" as...

    This is the only makeup I use for the stage. I had tried a few other things - but ever since I got my Ben Nye stuff, that's it! This looks great on the stage and won't melt off under all those...

    Beware: This stuff will BREAK YOU OUT if you are breakout-prone. It has corn oil in it, which can cause major zitage! I'm only mildly breakout-prone, but I cannot sleep in this foundation, as I can...

    For theatrical purposes this is great, but that means it is a bit on the heavy side so I don't wear it out too frequently. Contrary to the name, it is not too matte and it accentuates dry spots. ...

    Ben Nye does make good products but for girls with problem-prone skin, it's best to stick with this for the stage only. For the stage it provides great coverage and stays well, it was made to...

    This is a great perfoming foundation! I apply it with a wet sponge and get a semi-natural coverage. It does have a latex scent to it, but I got over it. This comes in a vast array of shades for...
