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.

Estee Lauder - Double Wear Stay in Place Make up - Foundation
It is a bit on the expensive side, but this foundation is something I swear by and highly recommend. It produces a flawless finish, and all my friends who use this product - all of different complexions - did not have a hard time finding their perfect colour match. I hear that...

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation
I absolutely LOVE this foundation. I have personally always been a cover girl make-up purchaser and have used pretty much everyone of their foundations at one time or another. I purchased this originally about 3 months ago and have been buying it ever since! I love how well it...

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation
I just started to use Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation and absolutely love it. I put it on in the morning and don't have to touch it up before going out in the evening like I had to with other products. I also put it on my eyelids as a base for eyeshadow and my...

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
I was a diehard Bare Minerals user for years. But one day I realized that A. I was using way too much concealer before application (because Bare Minerals coverage isn't that great), and B. It was wearing off by the end of the day and pretty much making my face a greasy mess...

Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 20
LOVE this product! Easy peasy to apply and with the added bonus of sunscreen it is perfect for a mommy! Takes no time to apply and covers well so I don't like I just crawled out of bed or spent all night up with a fussy little!!

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup
I just bought my first bottle of Clinique Superbalanced Makeup in Porcelian Beige. I'm very pleased with the natural, but polished look it give to my face. I've found that putting it on with a foundation brush made with artificial hair makes it look best. The artificial hair...

Hard Candy Just Face It
Claims to be "primer, concealer, foundation, and powder." It works really well, although I still use powder over it. It actually works as both concealer on difficult spots, and a general foundation. I love it. I wish they had more shades though, they never can seem to make...

Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Foundation
Love this foundation!!! Finally, something that gives full coverage, lasts all day and a little goes a long way! This stuff covers everything! Use with a primer because it is very thick. Someone had said to mix it with a moisturizer if you suffer from dry skin because it...

mark Get A Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15
Great value for you money. I have tried all kinds of tinted moisturizers as I do not like the weight of foundation. I love the Mark tinted moisturizer because its light weight like a moisturizer but covers like a foundation. The colours are a perfect match and come with a money...

I have finally found the perfect foundation. It is so light, you don't feel like you are wearing anything on your face. I have tried several different brands, and now I have it. I would most definitely recommend this one! The coverage is teriffic, and you only need a tiny...

Rimmel London Clean Finish Foundation
I bought this foundation after i ran out of mine reccently and i am not happy. Its thick and covers just as thick. I usually like foundation that doesnt feel like im putting spackle on my face, and this feels like spackle. Gross.

Maybelline New York Mineral Powder
Before i used this i thought it wouldn't cover up that great because it's just a loose powder but i went ahead and bought it and was surprised at the results. I barely had to use any on my face and it covered really well. Also, i have oily skin but it works good for that to my...

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation
I initially got a sample of this in Beige to test out at home. Considering you'll pay around $50 for this product, I wasn't going to buy before trying it. I ended up buying it after a couple weeks of wear, and it turns out that it's well worth it. I've rated the price as...

Avon Ideal Flawless Liquid Foundation
This foundation is worth every penny because it blends in with the natural beauty of the individual. Some foundations are not the exact match because you can tell when you get to the individual's neckline. This is not so with Avon Ideal Flawless Liquid Foundation. This is a...
