Pros:

Light Weight
Even Coverage
Fairly Matt
Doesn't Cake

Cons:

Lasts long only if powder is applied over the top

I always use this as a base or concealer. I really love how light weight it is... I don't need a ton of it to cover my acne. This works especially well for me because I have scabs on my face & this doesn't allow the scabs to get all dry & flaky, but it doesn't increase any oil on my skin. It doesn't last all that long if applied alone, but I always dust it with powder & it lasts much longer. Just make sure you have the right color match... this brand tends to have an orange-ish tint to it.

Pros:

Covers very well.
Easy to find appropriate shade.
Don't typically need to use concealer when using this.

Cons:

Skin felt very oily after a couple hours.
Needed to use alot of powder throughout day to combat oiliness
Extra oiliness may have contributed to breakouts

I break no matter what foundation I use, but this one most likely made it a little worse. I think if you acne is under control this product would work well for you, or if you just use it on occasions when you really need to cover up bad skin (special events). I wouldn't use it on a daily basis if you are in the midst of trying to treat moderate to severe acne.

Quick Signs of Acne
I have recently bought this product. 2 days ago to be exact. And my first day I was taking it off when I saw and felt pimples and bumps and My goodness im rarely on of those people who have acne! So this is quite a new concept. I take great care of my skin, im not oily, I use a sponge not a brush. But this product does amazingly well in blending and it matches my color. The only reason I haven't thrown away this product is because well it cost money and it can hide the ance is created quite well but my god it hurts!

Pros:

Not sure

Cons:

Caused a massive breakout in my acne-prone skin

I have been using BP nightly to keep my hormone-related acne at bay. While I get a pimple on my chin every once in a while, my regimen has been successful at controlling the pimples. I tried this product given it's claim that it doesn't clog pores. 2 weeks later, I had a massive break out in places I normally don't get pimples, like my cheeks forehead. I am fairly certain this product caused it, as I am religious with my regimen and that was the only change I made. So be careful!

Not for oily skin
My face was very shiny within a few hours of wearing this, even when I used a primer and set it with translucent powder. Even the areas that are normally dry felt greasy. I just hate that feeling of having a sticky, oily face more than anything. It's a shame because otherwise it matches my skin tone very well, goes on nicely (I use a beauty blender), feels light and has decent coverage. If you have normal or dry skin this might be good for you.

Good color match/quality for the price.
What I like about this line is there is a clear guide for finding your right shade. I use W6 and it is a pretty good match for my skin tone. The product is a tad on the watery side which I don't mind because this makes it easy to blend. I'm only giving it 4 stars because of the packaging. There is no pump so it's not easy to control the amount of product that pours out of the bottle. On the positive side, you only need a small amount (equivalent to 1 or 1 1/2 pump) to get up to medium coverage. It's buildable so add more on the spots where you need more coverage. It sets to a dewy finish so set it with powder if you prefer a matte appearance or if you have oily skin. Product quality and performance are pretty good for the price. Make sure you know your undertone (warm/cool/neutral) before buying. You might also try getting 2 shades to mix to find the perfect shade or to have a spectrum of shades to use as your color changes with the seasons.

Pros:

non-comedogenic
yellow skin tone colors!
good coverage-but not too heavey

Cons:

none

I hate foundation. It is such a battle to find the right match....that doesn't break me out! Bah! This stuff is great, i have never broke out from it. Very blendable. I use this stuff because its the only drugstore brand that has yellow tones, which almost everybody has for skin. Sooo yea. hands down by far my most favorite drugstore brand makeup. If u are having a hard time matching skin tone, and don't want to look like an oober tan idiot or pink face with a yellow tone neck...go check this out. :)

you definatly need to wash your face and take it off at the end of the day or you will break out

Cons:

broke me out!
hard to find my shade
looked cakey
oily after wearing for a short time

don't buy this. i'm as pale as they come and when i put this on i looked like i rolled around in doritos. basically, i was orange. i have oily skin, and after about 2 hours of wearing this foundation my skin looked oily and cakey. it has okay coverage, but i seriously wouldn't reccomend it if you have acne, because it broke me out. it may be different for other people though.

Pros:

Great coverage
Color matched perfectly

Cons:

Caused horrible breakouts

If you are acne prone don't touch this stuff!!! My face was nearly clear with only the occasional blemish when I switched to this foundation. Now I have horrible acne on my entire face. I even have cysts, something I've never experienced in the past. My olive skin is hard to color match when it comes to foundation, but this product's perfect color match wasn't even close to worth what I'm experiencing right now. I've switched to Makeup Forever HD... and we'll see.
