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.

TIGI Creme Foundation
I've tried MANY different types of make-up but could never find the right match for me. I started going to a new hair stylist and she introduced me to the TIGI cosmetics line. This make-up is an all in one foundation and powder. I was worried it would dry out my skin too much...

L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Compact Makeup
I absolutely love this product! Its the only one I'll buy. I've tried quite a few foundations in the past but none that I like as much as this one. It's lightweight and doesn't give you a cakey look. It's also very easy to use and lasts quite awhile. The thing I love most about...

Estee Lauder Invisible Fluid Makeup
This foundation: -blends in flawlessly and provides a beautiful finish -provides light-medium coverage (note: concealer is required to cover up spots/discolorations) -lasts all day (and I have combo-oily skin), especially when set with a powder -is one of the only foundations...

This foundation is brilliant. I have been looking for years for a matte foundation that would stay matte for an entire day - this one WORKS.

Marcelle True Radiance Radiant Complexion Makeup
This is the only foundation that I will use on my sensitive acne prone skin. I also have very pale skin and they carry my shade, so that's a bonus! It's not an expensive foundation. You should be able to pick it up for around $15. And at that price, it's a bargain! Marcelle...

Cover FX Total Coverage Cream Foundation SPF 30
Omg! Where to start. Acne has been my tormentor since high school and unfortunately after acne has had enough of me he sends over his friends redness and scaring. Unfortunately every foundation I had tried in the past to cover the embarrassing marks has just aggravated my acne...

Physician's Formula Healthy Wear Powder Foundation
I have acne prone skin, so I feel the need to cover it up, but heavy foundations just clog my pores and make my acne worse. I've been using this mineral powder for a year and my acne has gotten alot better! Its great because it won't clog my pores and it covers really well! Its...

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Radiant Firming Makeup
I was disappointed with this product. Purchased it because the advertisements looked promising. I chose a shade I usually wear, and it was awful on my skin. It looked chalky and cakey and I removed it immediately. It was a waste of my money.

the Balm Balm Shelter Tinted Moisturizer
I decided to review this after looking at one of my favorite pictures of myself and remembering that I wore ths foundation when the photo was taken. It really made my skin look naturally flawless. My skin really seemed to respond well to it. And, it lasted all day. Since I...

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup
I was excited to try out this foundation because I am a big fan of UD but I was on the fence about buying it because my experience with 'weightless' foundations hasn't been good. However, I am really liking this foundation so far and I am so glad I bought it. It is very light...

Maybelline Stay Matte Foundation
Found this product works great for oily skin. If you have any dry patches at all don't use this product, but for porous and never ending oily shine, this is my "go-to" foundation at the moment.

Almay TLC Truly Lasting Color 16 Hour Makeup SPF 15
I have tried many many different cover ups. From cheap brands to high end department store brands and this is BY FAR the best cover up I have ever used. Sometimes I kid myself and think buying the $5 on sale stuff will do, but it just doesn't. The Almay Truly Lasting Colour...

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
I've been in search for the perfect foundation for my oily skin and I have finally found it! Even better that it is a drug store foundation, so getting different shades to match my skin in different seasons won't break the bank!

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15
I'm already using my 2nd bottle and almost halfway finished. Amazing light-medium coverage foundation for those who prefer something a little more natural. I personally like the lighter coverage as I don't like to look so dramatically different without foundation. At $55CAD, a...

MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF15 Foundation
This is a bit tricky because I broke out just as I started using this foundation, but I'm not sure if it caused the acne or not. It did start clearing up a few days after I stopped using it too so it could be the foundation, or it could be that the foundation didn't cause the...
