    I love this foundation. For years I would try foundation after foundation looking for the one that would cover, but not too heavy. I bought this in Sephora, and they did a skin color test on my skin to help me find the right shade to use.

    I do have this foundation, but its too heavy for everyday, for me. I am a fan of tarte make-up.

    I have giant red spots on my cheeks and this covers up any redness without concealer. I love that there is SPF which is good for keeping skin young looking and fresh. I find it does not settle in my wrinkles and it is possible to find your shade (I am porcelain most of the time and I was recommended this by a worker at Sephora). It controls oil and lasts all day!

    I've been using the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation (in shade 3.5) and I LOVE IT. The only problem is that it is super pricey at $66 CAD for 1oz / 30mL. Since I apply foundation everyday, I go through a bottle in 3 months. I've decided to make a switch to this - there's fuller coverage, more product for a lower cost ($51 CAD for 1.7 oz / 50 mL). Amazonian Clay is supposed to be great for your skin too !

    I really really wanted to like this but I can't seem to find a good shade to match my skin. I have naturally golden/yellow undertones, so that limits my matches to the 'sand' colors. I am between Light Sand and Light Medium Sand. Light Sand makes me too pale looking and Light Medium Sand is just way too dark.

    If you can find a color match, this is a great product. The product has a thicker consistency which may be a turn off for some. And I find the coverage to be more medium than full. It can be layered on to provide better coverage.

    It was horrible, it says it lasts up to 12 hours. For myself it lasted about an hour before it started getting blotchy. It sinks into every fine line. Feels like you're wearing a mask all day.

    Its taken me awhile to find my HG foundation and this is it~ I like a slightly fuller coverage foundation because I have some breakouts and I want those covered. It lasts all day and doesn't look cakey. The formula is kind of thick and has a whipped texture, I find it applies best with a damp beauty blender.

    The price is a bit expensive, so it's sadly not something I will be buying as often as I like. But thankfully a little goes a long way and it seems to last me awhile.

    This foundation can be used as a medium coverage foundation or you can build a more full coverage look, although it is not the best if you are looking for a lightweight foundation. It makes your skin very smooth and never looks cake considering the amount of coverage it gives. Great product! Will be using for life!

    It took me a while to finally work out how this foundation worked with my skin. It seems to work with everyone else and I've heard that for some people, it is "Holy Grail" quality. For me, I needed to use a primer with this foundation in order to keep it from slipping off my face. Also, if you have dry skin, watch out! This foundation definitely settles into lines and enhances your dry spots. Maybe a great foundation in the summer when dryness isn't too much for an issue.

    I bought this after hearing it was a good foundation for combo/oily skin. I had my color matched by one of the counter girls and it was good thing too because she warned me that this foundation has a habit of oxidizing on oily skin. My skin goes from the sahara to the everglades throughout the day. This foundation lasts all day, once it settles is the perfect color for me. The consistency is very thick but it feels like nothing on the skin after application. IT provides as very nice full coverage without looking mask like. I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a full coverage foundation with oily/combo skin.
