Pros:

Great coverage
Even skin tone
Long lasting

Cons:

Literally feels like putting paint on your face
Causes cystic acne
So hard to take off

This would have been perfect if it didn't break me out so badly... If you have acne-prone skin, stay away!! I thought I had found my HG foundation because the whole finish was just so nice. It didn't sink into my pores and coverage was great. On the 3rd day of using this, my skin freaked out. I broke out all over my face which took so long to finally clear up. I was hoping to just cover the acne scars I had left on my face but this just got me back to square one. I put it under my eyes for concealing and I even broke out in tiny red pimples under there as well. So cheaply made... no foundation has ever broken me out so bad. So disappointed and angry... ughh.

Pros:

covers really well
nice, velvet feeling at first
not expensive
does not cause break out

Cons:

skin looks greasy after a few hours
change colour within some time
very thick
adds a grey shade to your skin

I have found this one by accident, I try not to use any make up firstly because I am afraid of break outs and and secondly because I prefer to cure my skin instead of hiding it. Anyway at first when I tried it, I liked it a lot because it leaves nice, velvet touch and it covers really well. But when I got out all night wearing it, my night turns into a disaster! My hole face became really greasy and shiny as well. Not pleasant at all. I am still terrified when I see some pics from that night!

Pros:

cheap
great coverage

Cons:

Causes cystic breakouts
Leave face with an oily sheen

If you want great coverage, try this product, it basically covers all redness, small discolorations and gives the appearance of an overall even skin tone. The first few times I used it, I had no problems but after the 3rd use I started getting break outs the very next day; Cystic under the skin acne which takes a long time to clear up.

Pros:

Heavy coverage

Cons:

Break-outs (including cysts)
Very thick, cake-like,
Shade changes through out the day,
Looks almost dirty at the end of the day.

I've been using this foundation for about a year now as it was the only foundation I found that was thick enough to cover my acne scars but I absolutely hate it! I've really only stuck with it out of lack of options. It's very thick and provides heavy coverage but I'm more interested in improving my acne than just covering it up. Not a good every day make-up, looks terrible at the end of the day and does not cover redness for very long. Looks almost like dirt! It's gross. Save your money, save your skin. I really only recommend this as a last resort.

Pros:

Covers all kinds of acne and scars
Stays on for more than 8-12 hours.

Cons:

Difficult to remove
After 6 months of use, acne got very very bad.

At first I used this because everyone recommended it here. TRUST ME. It might be the BEST make up you'll ever use if you have acne/scars you want to hide. But please take my advice seriously. Because of the deceiving beauty it provides you become addicted to how you fool yourself that you don't have acne anymore. Obviously, the ingredients in this make up is NOT good for acne skin. I had light-moderate acne here and there BEFORE I used it. And my purpose was to hide my scars. But now (after 6 months) I have HORRIBLE purging and cyst like big acne around my chin/cheek. I haven't got those since 5 years. I'm very sad because I am going COLD turkey with make up from so many comments I got. Please, abstain... this is only for occasional use.

Pros:

Long wearing
oil control
cheap
good dupe of el dw

Cons:

Broke out everytime I tried to wear it
need oil cleanser to remove
not a good color match

Would love it if it didn't break me out and had good color match. This is a good dupe for estee lauder double wear (which does not break me out but is definately more expensive)

Pros:

-> it was cheap because i bought it at a discount store.
-> decent coverage.

Cons:

-> thick and goopy
-> its hard to blend in! it got 'stuck' on parts of my hairline and i had to continuously rub over it until it finally blended in the way that i wanted it to.. 10 minutes later!
-> messy!
-> took quite some time to dry properly.

i wouldn't buy this foundation again. it has a heavy feel to it, and it's difficult to blend in. it covered my red hyperpigmentation pretty well, but that's about it, unfortunately.

Pros:

-looks great when first applied

Cons:

-broke me out
-VERY hard to remove
-not long lasting and wears off weirdly
-doesn't cover well enough

I don't understand which this is such a highly rated foundation. It wore off really quickly and looked splotchy by the end of the day, yet it was very difficult to remove. It also broke me out pretty badly.
