Clogged my pores
It never really broke me out but it clogged my pores pretty bad. I think this foundation might work for some people. When I had prettier skin I wore this and it was flawless but ever since I get more sensitive acne prone skin it hasn't been the best for my face.

I like it.
This is a medium coverage product. If you have acne, it will show, but will hide a lot of blemishes as well. It has very light ivory skin tones, which personally is hard to find, and has been one of the only foundations that I have found in my skin tone. Personally, I like it, but it's not the best. Trying to find one that will work even better for me now.

GREAT COVERAGE, HARD TO REMOVE IT
pro's: -GREAT COVERAGE -NATURAL COLOR( I use 'SANDY BEIGE'-be careful , don't APPLY TOO MUCH) -THE PRODUCT ITSELF DOESN'T BREAK ME UP -INCREDIBLE LONG LASTING EVEN ON OILY SKIN ( the one for dry/normal skin is actually more matte then the one for oily skin) -TRANSFER AND MOISTURE RESISTANT con's: -I TRIED TO APPLY IT IN SEVER DIFFERENT WAYS: BARE SKIN, OVER SPF CREAM, OVER SEVERAL DIFFERENT PRIMERS, IN ALL CASES THIS IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE IT FROM FACE, EVEN WITH MAKE-UP REMOVER AND FACE WASH, i STILL HAVE FOUNDATION MARKS ON MY FACE, AND RUBBING YOUR FACE OR OVER CLEANSING WILL RESULT IN BRAKE OUTS!

Great Color Selection but makes me Breakout

Pros:

color selection
coverage

Cons:

breakouts
cakey

I really love the color options in this foundation. Finally something that has yellow and blue undertones, seems like every other foundation is way too pink or orange on my skin. The bummer is this foundation does make me breakout and I can feel the thickness on my skin. Ugh. Anyone know of a foundation with good color options and doesn't make your skin breakout?

Not the best

Pros:

Covers well
Doesn't look too unatural

Cons:

Extreme breakouts
Oily
Isn't for sensitive skin

This foundation is good if you don't have problematic skin. Considering all of us are looking at reviews on acne.org, we basically all have problematic skin. I used the combination one years ago and I loved it because it does last a long time, it doesn't patch up, and it had medium-full coverage. But I've been more focused on clearing my skin rather than just covering it. I've been using Loreal's mineral powder foundation for a few weeks and my skin loved it. I began putting this foundation under my powder as a concealer when I was breaking out at...that time...and my skin is freaking out. It's very clogging to the pores, oily, and just not good for acne-prone skin. I've switched to Almay's clear complexion concealer and hopefully that'll make a difference since Almay is for sensitive skin.

Pros:

Full coverage
Nice coloring

Cons:

Cakey
Un-natural looking
I would break out after wearing for 8+hrs

I think someone else said it best when they used the term "stage makeup" -yes the coverage is great, but it just looks like you're wearing so much makeup, even with primer, proper applications and setting powder. I have very oily skin. Felt like it clogged my pores, I hate 'feeling' my layers of makeup sitting on my face. Almost impossible to touch up or wear for long periods of time without looking like a clown.

Pros:

cheaper than my current foundation, can buy it anywhere, not bad longevity and quite good coverage

Cons:

transfers on to clothes left right and center whenever it is hot or humid, forms a nice greasy shiny slick that easily wipes off everywhere by the end of school, seems o make my skin more oily which in turn worsens my acne

I used to use this product when i was at school but later discovered the joys of estee lauder double wear, which basically delivers what colourstay fails to - long lasting matte coverage. If i was broke colourstay is not a bad back up though. Just have to refresh it often.

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.
March 21, 2012

Pros:

Matches skin tone
Applies smoothly
Good selection of shades

Cons:

Funky smell
Cakes easily
No pump
Gets greasy and shiny

I wore this foundation today for a few hours and also worked out at the gym with it. I came home and saw how shiny my face was. When I first applied it, I thought it would cover every single blemish but it actually didn't; I don't know who made up the idea that this is full coverage. It's more of a medium coverage because it definitely didn't cover my acne scars and dark circles. I would recommend dusting a light powder over this if you have combination skin like I do (oily in T-Zone, very dry everywhere else)
