May 18, 2012

Pros:

COVERS MARKS LIKE NO OTHER MAKEUP!

Cons:

thick, sticky, clogs pores (4 me anyway)

Its good for eyelids (primer) and under eye bags, but to actually put on acne, go with something less thick and heavy.

Pros:

- Great Coverage
- Buff perfectly matches my pale skin with yellow undertones.
- Applies easily with wet sponge
- Finally found a foundation that has everything I'm looking for.

Cons:

- Haven't had a break out yet, but I'm worried I might eventually based on others experiences.
- Hard to blend if you dont use the wet sponge application.
- Gets too oily if I apply my sunscreen immediately before
- Bottle is terrible for Bacteria

This is a great foundation for heavy coverage for scars. I havent had a bad experience with it yet, but I do wonder if it will happen eventually. If you apply it with a damp sponge and use a stippling motion the coverage is easy to concentrate in areas. Over-all I love this foundation, my acne is finally clearing up on retin-a and now my texture is getting back to normal but I needed something wth heavy coverage to colour my hyper pigmentation and scars since Im so pale they tend to show VERY dark. This method has worked well for me. Overall very happy!! My solution to the bottle problem is that I emptied out a covergirl trublend bottle with pump and poured my clour stay into the clean bottle so now it is air tight ( to prevent oxidation and has a convenient pump! Problem solved.

Pros:

its fairly unexpensive
covers very well

Cons:

as the day goes on turns an orangey color
doesn't look very natural
dries very quickly so application is difficult

This foundation is good if you want heavy coverage. I did not like this foundation because it was very obivious that i had foundation on and i like my makeup to be natural. I also did not like that as the day goes on it gets cakey and orangy. Alot of people love this foundation but i just dont. But everybody is different.
August 26, 2011

Pros:

Doesn't break me out
Skin feels nice and soft after it is applied
Doesn't irritate or dry out the skin

Cons:

Doesn't last all day (8 hours for me)
Doesn't control oil, makes nose really oily
Not full coverage

This is my first foundation and I really do like it but it doesnt give me full coverage!! And I really need full coverage because I have lots of acne marks. It also doesn't last all day even though on the bottle it says it lasts for 16 hours. I apply it with my fingers so maybe its because of that Im not getting too much coverage. Overall it is a good foundation and I'll still be a loyal user of it

Pros:

-Flawless and not-thick-looking coverage (I apply with clean fingers)
-All day wear
-Mostly sweatproof
-Matches my super light skin tone yet covers redness

Cons:

More expensive than other drugstore brands, but still cheaper than most designer lines!

GREAT product, my sister has severe acne and much oilier skin than I do and it works well for her too! I use this under BareMinerals Matte for a super-flawless look (one foundation is never going to cover everything evenly when you have extremely light skin like I do).

Pros:

good coverage
great color selection

Cons:

can get oily after a few hours
was hard to fully wash off at first

This isn't a miracle worker, you can still get oily but if you use a good powder (I like clinique) it can last shine free a long time. I actually like this better than my Makeup Forever HD foundation and that was $40. As far as getting it off I typically just water a washcloth and get most of it off and then use my cleanser to get the little bit still on my face. You could also use an astringent to make sure its off, it just takes time to find a way that works best for you.

Pros:

Good for heavier coverage
Conceals redness
Decent price

Cons:

Don't know for sure what my color is
Doesn't help fight acne
Thick

I like this foundation. It has good coverage, although it can be very thick. It doesn't dry my face out. The only thing I don't like is that my color was a bit too dark and I wish there was a way to sample the colors before buying them.
January 24, 2010

Pros:

Lasts all day
Buildable coverage
Goes on smooth
Blends really well

I LOVE this foundation and it does not cause me to breakout. I apply this with a cosmetic wedge sponge (some people wet the sponge but I do not). It really gives good coverage and covers my dark spots (old acne scars). It lasts all day too. I never have to reapply this foundation in the day. When it's 2 for 1 at Walgreens or CVS both cost around $13.

Pros:

*good coverage
*long lasting
*can use fingers to apply

Cons:

*pricey for drugstore cosmetic
*medium beige made me look pink at times

i have a lot of acne scars on my cheeks so i would require heavy coverage for them and colorstay provided good coverage. it did make my scars look purpley at first so i had to go over my scars using my finger, just dapping more foundation on the scars, concentrating on just those spots and my scars were covered i also have very oily skin and i never blot or powder my face. i found that this foundation is pretty good at keeping me shine free except on like 32 degree days of course. i have sensitive acne prone skin as well and this did not make me break out much excepy for one or two pimples on my forehead but its goodd i would recommend this foundation because its pretty good, best drugstore foundation ive tried :)
