    Let me start off by saying that I am usually a big fan of Merle Norman products. I sold their makeup in high school and loved it, so I was honestly surprised that I didn't like this foundation. The description of it sounds great; a medium to full coverage foundation that is lightweight and '' 'tunes in' to skin's needs'' (merlenorman.com) by inhibiting oil production. Sounds FABULOUS for this hot sticky summer, right?! That's what I thought too, but unfortunately it just wasn't right for my skin. I have combination skin and it seemed to make my face secrete ten times the usual amount of oil. I work a desk job and by the end of the day my face looked both extremely oily and like it had little to no makeup left on it. The foundation also clogged my pores and caused lots of breakouts. It was very frustrating, especially since I usually have such good results with their products. Sadly, I would not reccomend this foundation to anyone.
