Long term changed my mind
I used this foundation my sophomore year and loved it.. I really felt like it was taking care of my acne. My acne came back, so I purchased it again, first thing I noticed was that I was slowly creating more acne with this.. I stopped using it, and BAAAM, my forehead and chin got cleared. I have to say though, I loved the coverage it gave because it looked sooooo natural! Especially for me, since I have so much redness on my cheeks and chin. I can't be sure what was breaking me out, but my skin definitely improved AFTER I stopped using this.

meh

Pros:

nice shades

Cons:

makes skin look oily and/or flaky
not much coverage
doesn't stay on very long

i give the 1 and a half stars because it does not go on even, does not cover much, becomes flaky (even if skin isnt dry), and makes skin look oily. It does give some coverage but not much. this does not clear acne at all. It is just like most makeup and makes it worse because it clogs pores.

Pros:

full coverage
smells good

Cons:

breakout
doesn't clear

This product worked for me in the way that it was good coverage and blended with my skin tone nicely but it is a little thick. I stopped using this product for awhile, and then I put it on randomly one day and had the worst breakout I've ever had in my life :(

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:

-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:

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 :(

Pros:

- Easy to apply and seems to blend in well.

Cons:

- Looked terrible after a few hours.
- When it dried, it changed the tint of my skin to an orange hue.

I don't recommend this foundation. If you are trying to go for a natural look and making it seem like you are really not wearing any makeup at all, this is not the way to go.
