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:

- 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:

sticks on your face
great color range

Cons:

because of my oily skin the foundation turned orange, a little difficult to wash off

great color range but I had to select a lighter color in the hopes my skin wouldn't look like a pumpkin, I'd definitely recommend testing it at the store and leaving for an hour or two to make sure you don't have the same problem as I did.

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:

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.

Pros:

It Covers all (if u use the right tecnique)
Its cheap!
DSNT BOKE ME OUT!
NATURAL
FREAKING GRATE!! I LOVE THIS STUFF

(thin layer) then just go layering (really tiny layers better make it 10 than 1 that cakes up everything...) just on the spots and redness... then make sure to blend to ur neck and ears (yes i know ears soo weird but it helps)

Pros:

good coverage
good price
long lasting

Cons:

bad smell
doesn't really control oil
trying to find right shade

I've tried many many foundations because I want to cover the acne and acne marks and I have to say this is the best one hands down (at least compared to the ones you find at the drugstore). It gives a medium coverage but is buildable, and ends up with a matte look (as if you put powder on top). Though i must say is hard to find a right shade because when you look at the bottle most of the colors are really similar. It doesn't wear off as easily but it doesn't control shine either (at least not for me) so blotting papers work good for this problem. This has never broke me out unlike maybelline but one important thing is that since this is a heavy makeup make sure you completely remove it, i usually wash with my cleanser and then i use a astrigent or toner to take it all off.

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:

mattifying
light feeling (not cakey or heavy)
cheap (or cheap-er than most)

Cons:

packaging stinks (bottle, i am dipping my brush in it = bacteria...urgh)

love this. doesnt clog pores, doesnt aggravate my skin, stays put. No oily patches, doesn't show dry patches either. Also, looks consistantly even on my skin, even though I've changed my regimen about 70 times!!!
