Pros:

Doesn't cause acne, actually eliminates pimples.

Cons:

Can be a little thick. I usually add water.

I'd use it if I were you. It's at about any drugstore and there's a bunch of different shades.

Pros:

Came somewhat close to my skintone

Cons:

Chalky, drying, wrinkle accentuating, clogs pores, doesn't last

The worst foundation I've ever tried. I had my hopes up when I bought it, because it was a pale yellowy color (like my skin), and it was for acne prone skin. The fourth (but first one that doesn't evaporate) ingredient is talc, which is slightly comedogenic. If your skin is even slightly dry, it will bring out every skin flake or wrinkle. It is somewhat sheer, and fades away throughout the day. Not too happy with it.

Pros:

oil-free
applies well
blends well
looks good at first

Cons:

gives oily skin throughout day -____-
doesn't actually "clear" acne

soooo, I did this because i saw it on youtube, it looks pretty good, but i would only recommend it for short-term use. don't believe the whole clears you skin thing... if you look in the ingredients it only has like 0.02% salicylic acid. i got the perfect color for my skin but when i went out in the sun it looks caked and waaaay too dark. if you do INSIST on getting this product make sure you use a primer and have the blotting pads, because it makes your skin SOOOO OILY through out the day. and get a lighter color than you actual skin! hahah (:

Pros:

looks very natural
blends with skin
gives you that movie star look when you first apply it

Cons:

doesn't actually clear skin..
comes off too easily

i love this foundation. although it doesn't have a pump i just dab some on the tip of my finger and place it on my face using the t-zone method. when i go to school no one can tell that i wear make up because of how natural it blends and i have had multiple people ask me how i do my make up so well. i also apply NYC powder to seal in the foundation which works very well too and add a bit off blush and mascara to top it off. believe it or not your skin will look flawless and natural like airbrush so yes try this

Pros:

.didn't make me break out
.looked good at first

Cons:

.looked cakey and weird
.didn't cure my acne

i didn't like it! it was the only one that didn't make me break out but then after a while it look weird (cakey, flakey, and didn't match my skin tone).

Pros:

-Glass packaging
-Good coverage

Cons:

-Super cakey
-Hard to blend
-Didn't fight acne
-You have to pour the product out- more bacteria can get inside
-Bad Formula
-Skin dries and flakes

This is decent but NOT a good everyday foundation! it looks super cakey and heavy and thick on your face. Whenever i put it on, I feel like I have added another layer of skin on my face.

Pros:

-Great coverage
-Glass Packaging
-Cleared Acne
-Not too heavy

Cons:

-Super cakey, whenever i put this on, it makes me look like a have a ton of foundation on, and it looks like it too.
- You can only pour out the product, so more bacteria could get inside.

It is a great acne fighter and has great coverage, but because it's so cakey, it defeats the purpose of teenagers wearing it. Teenagers prefer to have lighter, more natural makeup, this looks way too heavy for a teenager to wear it, or for anyone to wear it. I think there are better foundations out there, this one is not one of the most amazing ones.

Pros:

Not heavy and oil free

Cons:

Contains talc, gave me a horrible breakout unlike normal acne, as if it burned my face all over rather than clear anything up!

Stay away if you have even slightly sensitive skin! Awful product!!

Pros:

Not too expensive
Good in the summer

Cons:

Make skin flaky and dry
Broke out skin
Poor coverage

This was fine in the summer, but as it got colder, it made my skin dry and break out. No matter how much moisturizer I used! Now it caused a terrible breakout :(
