    I love this product!!! It is the only thing I use on my face. I have tried Clinique but that left me looking like I was wearing a mask. I tried Lancome but it didn't give me the feel I wanted. ...

    I really wanted to like this product, it goes on smoothly, seemed to cover nicely, but caused my Rosacea prone skin to break out over several different times that I tried it. I won't buy again.

    This product is good for everyday, daytime use. I am asian and considered to be fair in skin color. I got the shade that the SA recommended, 120-warm gentle beige. On the plus side, it goes on...

    I tried this in Cool Basic Beige, which was a good color match for my fair skin with good coverage and a nice moisturizing texture. But when I dropped this, the powder shattered and I had to throw...

    I have a light-to-medium, golden olive complexion that is a challenge to match. Foundations always seem to turn pink or orange on me. Anyway, I just bought this foundation in "Warm Sesame" and it...

    If you're trying to do away with liquid foundation, this is the product for you. I've been advised by my beautician to avoid liquid foundations for everyday use, although I have no problems with my...

    One thing you must know about this product is that it is not designed to change your skin to perfection, nor is it for more than a sheer to light medium coverage. Most people who need coverage on...

    I love this powder. It goes on so nicely and takes away any shine, finishing in a soft matte. I always add a little to my nose and forhead after applying foundation to get more coverage.

    wonderful if you dont need to use liquid or concelor. its coverage is about medium, you can build on it without it getting cakey, but always use blotting papers or rub oily areas with tissue to rid...

    I have oily skin in my t-zone and get shiny by mid-afternoon. I used this powder foundation as a powder compact for afternoon touch-ups. I think it is great for this purpose. I was unhappy with...

    This is a VERY light foundation that goes on so sheer for me it does not seem to provide enough coverage for me. It goes on smooth and seems to last without changing the color of my skin. It also...

    Pros: I didn't look like I had makeup on. Cons: I didn't look like I had makeup on. I really wanted to like this. I found a good color match in Cool Petal, and there seemed to be a good range...

    I don't normally use powder foundations, so this review is from the finishing powder perspective. As a finishing powder, this is truly great. Very fine, not too dry, "rich" feeling powder. A bit...

    I only said "no" on if I would buy this product because the color selection is poor. There's nothing for super-ppp's, which is a shame because this really is a gorgeous powder foundation. It's...

    I didn't like the consistency of this product. It just didn't feel natural. I guess this was my last straw w/ EL foundation, b/c I won't be purchasing any more!
