Foundation Reviews

Peaches 'n cream-complected young people need not apply, but the rest of us need a little help evening out skin tone, hiding sun damage, and masking enlarged pores.  That's where a proper foundation comes in.  There are two main ways to use this product: mineral powder (praised for its non-comedogenic and natural sun blocking properties) and liquid formulations (best for creating a dewy glowing look).  Be sure to change your usual shade by season to best match your natural tone.  If you can't decide between two shades, go for the darker one to give your complexion warmth and mask flaws better.

ChickAdvisor members give props to powdered foundations from Bare Escentuals bareMinerals, MAC Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation, and Maybelline New York Mineral Power Loose Foundation.  High marks for liquid formulas belong to Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse, Marcelle New-Age Anti-Wrinkle Makeup, and Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation.

Maybelline New York Dream Liquid Mousse
This product is okay but if you dont need it dont buy it. It is not effective in covering alot of blemishes. I usually am a fan of maybelline but this foundation did not cut it.

MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
I would not recommend this product to individuals who have dry skin. The product does wonders for those who have normal to oily skin. It provides great coverage and application is easy.

Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream
I thought this product would be good especially since I normally like Garnier products, but I found that this cream wore off at least an hour after I wore it. Also it didn't even cover that well to begin with. I'd suggest anything but this!

Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Treatment Makeup
I like this product. It's definitely better than a lot of concealers I've tried. I find that some other brands have concealers that are very greasy, and too thick. This concealer is a nice consistency and does a great job to cover dark circles. I also like the sponge applicator!

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
This is by far the best foundation out there. Very light goes on smooth and even. I will use this for a very long time. Thanks Maybelline for this product. I love it!

Maybelline Mineral Power Loose Powder Foundation
I use this daily, it goes on well and stays on without leaving a dry powder look.

Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation
The Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Foundation is my new favourite, must have, go-to make-up product. It blends perfectly into your skin, and feels weightless so I can completely forget that I'm wearing make-up. I use a small dime-sized amount to even out my skin tone...

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Foundation works well with a sponge. It had really good coverage and seemed to last longer than most foundations that I've used.

Revlon ColorStay Makeup w/Softflex
This has been my go-to foundation for so long ! I pick up the Revlon Colourstay over my Mac or UD or Estee Lauder ones almost EVERY day. It stays on Beautifulllly and matt and looks so naural. You can layer it on certain spots on your face if you need more coverage or sheer it...

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
The price to this product is a bit high for a drug store primer. The jar is super tiny, but a little bit does go along way. Its a thick primer, its not the greatest to blend, but it can be done. I'm not sure if I would repurchase it tho again for myself, but I would recommend...

MAC Studio Fix Fluid with SPF 15
Love this foundation, goes on smooth and blends well. If you have combo skin like me, this might end up making your t-zone look oily but you can get rid of that by using a powder to finish off your look and bring everything together. I use MAC for my powder finish and it goes...

Cover Girl TRUblend liquid foundation
This foundation really works well to smooth the appearance of my skin tone. I tend to get a lot of acne and my skin can be very dry at times and oily at others. It took very little of the product to cover my entire face and it did not seem to fade as the day went on.

Maybelline Mineral Power Liquid Foundation
I absolutely love this foundation. I was shopping around my dollarama and stumbled upon this foundation for 2 dollars. It covers all my imperfections perfectly and goes on evenly. Leaving my face ready for make up. The only two cons to this foundation is that (1) it doesn't...

CoverGirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation
I don't profess to be a makeup professional, but for average janes like me, this one does just fine at a reasonable price (I often come across Cover Girl coupons in the mail, or in the stores like Superstore). It goes on quite smoothly (I apply with my fingers). Doesn't give off...

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation
Revlon PhotoReady is definitely a go-to foundation for me. I love that it comes with a pump so that you don't spill too much product onto your hand. Also it is very hygienic. Upon close inspection, there seem to be very fine specks of sparkle, which I never detect on my skin...

CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation
I really like this foundation. I use Olay products and when CoverGirl and Olay introduced a cosmetic line I had to try it. I found it has great coverage and is a lot better than my usual brand, so I switched! Not too heavy, but not so thin that it becomes pointless. Worth...

CoverGirl Clean Oil-Control Liquid Makeup
As someone with very fair skin tone it is hard to find a cover-up that doesn't make me look like I tan too much! The Ivory is a perfect match for me and I have stuck with this one for years. Not only is it my perfect match but my wallet and skin love it as well ;)

L'Oreal Bare Naturale Mineral Foundation
I have been using L'Oreal Bare Mineral Foundation for several years now & love it. I am extremely fair skinned & also have sensitivity issues with many make up products. I have never had any problems with this product. It goes on easy & light & gives the coverage I want without...
