Pros:

- Great coverage
- Stays on all day
- Good color match

Cons:

- After using daily for 2 weeks, had my worst breakout ever or big cystic acne
- Washing it off anything but your face is problematic, it's like thick beige paint

I wouldn't use it again. Although it's great coverage, it's almost impossible to wash off with "gentle" cleansers, when you sweat it's almost like the sweat doesn't get out. It's almost like stage makeup, and seemed to plug every pore I have.

Pros:

Full Coverage.
Long lasting if applied correcty.
Buildable coverage.
Scars and redness wont be visible even if face becomes oily.

Cons:

Broke me out further but I was already having a Cystic Acne breakout.
If you dont get the right shading and apply correctly it can look AWFUL.
Takes a bit of doing to remove

First of ladies, you HAVE to pick the correct shade for you or as close to the shade you think you are or it will go on and dry patchy and you'll look like you have just smeared mud on parts of your face. You MUST use a primer or moisturiser Secondly - you MUST apply with a wet brush or sponge and for your first layer dont use so much of the product and focus on one part of your face at a time as soon as you apply the product to your cheek...sponge once applied as its fast drying and buff with brush if need be. After applying ur first layer then Stipple on another and this gives the awesome coverage, again use a small amount To remove - first of use a wipe (I use simple wipes) to take of the top layer then use a deep cleanser to get into the pores and removed the product OR You can use a wipe again to take off top layer then a make up remover (I use La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser with cotton wool, takes ALOT TO get it all off) this will lift the product from your pores without harsh rubbing. Personally I only wear this make up on a night out or special occassaion, just because its a pain to remove and its full coverage which can feel heavy throughout the day. Even though it still breaks me out slightly I still use this on nights out as I havent found anything with as good coverage and long wearing, other than MAC which breaks me out as well and its just as good a product so may as well settle for the cheaper option It sounds a hassle but its so easy to apply if you know how :-) and you can be safe in the knowledge that your acne wont show through

none!

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.
May 16, 2012

Pros:

-Very good for oily skin. It actually stays on your face even without a finishing powder or primer underneath. I've literally tried EVERYTHING to find the right foundation. I went from Lancome too Smashbox and they were still not right.

-Covers acne scars well.

-Doesn't smell bad. Odorless.

-Affordable

-Doesn't break me out.

Cons:

-It tends to get a little sticky after your first put it on.

-Kinda hard to blend unless you wet your brush or sponge well. I use the bronzer brush from ECO from Walmart. It's really good and because the brissles are small it makes it look natural :). For how much it covers someone didn't know I had foundation on!

-Oxidizes.

It's great! Try it out if you've been searching for foundations! **Tip: Some people say it breaks them out, but it's all a matter of washing your face really well when you take it off. After I take off my makeup with a wipe I use a gentle scrub and then I use my Proactiv toner to take excess oils, dirts, and foundation. After that I use a facial set from Shiseido to calm/moisterize my face. It doesn't hurt to try. Try it out! :)

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).
April 11, 2012

Pros:

can't think of any.

Cons:

-Causes break outs
-makes skin look dry and old
-unsanitary/inconvenient packaging
-oxidizes
-Looks TERRIBLE in certain lighting, and up close
-Smells like paint
-Lots of bad chemical ingredients that age your skin

This stuff DOES cause breakouts. When you wear it, it oxidizes on your skin, and looks terrible- you can definitely see it on your face, and it doesn't look good. I can't express how nasty and awful it looks. Check a public mirror- you'll be horrified. Plus, it makes your skin look dull, DRY and OLD. Emphasizes pores. And it emphasizes the crap out of dry, flakey, or peeling skin. very gross. Plus, it feels really thick and gross going on. And of course, the packaging is terrible. Bottom line, makes skin look 10x nastier and worse than no make up at all.

Pros:

-Long lasting (24 hours)
-Does not clog skin
-If used right, it won't kit
-Amazing coverage
-Great for all skin shades

Cons:

- You need to take off with make up remover or a strong facial wash
-Must apply with a makeup brush for it to look best so don't use a sponge.

I am a Professional makeup artist for MAC. And I prefer this over Mac cosmetics any day. It is worth the 14 dollars. USE A MAKE UP BRUSH TO PUT IT ON! Do not use a sponge. Sponges soak up all of the liquid make up. I have dark skin and works amazing for me. It is one of my favorite foundations of all time. You will clog up from this make up if YOU GET THE COMBINATION/OILy bottle. Seriously try it. You wont be disappointed.
