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.

I tried elf cosmetics recently for the first time. They had a sale of 60% off most items and I grabbed a whole ton of stuff, but this products was by far my favourite. It feels like a nice moisturizing serum and gives a nice light coverage. I have seen reviews complaining about...

I didn’t expect to like this. But it was the closest color match I have ever found. It was very close to full coverage but didn’t feel heavy. Very affordable! Only con is the smell is bad out of bottle but can’t smell on face.

I have used this foundation for over 10 years. If I ever stray and 'test the waters' with another foundation, I always find myself going back to this one. It is 100% worth the cost. It is light and doesn't apply thick.

I do not usually use many compact powders but this one I liked for the day to day that I only correct imperfections and seals with this powder to give me a little more coverage 🙌🏻

I was skeptical of this product. I have never used anything from this line before, and as a strict M.A.C foundation user, I didn't think I'd like it. Boy was I wrong! I picked it up in shade 1359, and it matched my skin colour perfectly. It blends so nicely with both a damp...

I definitely will purchase again as I got this as a Christmas gift! I love the quality of this brush as it has a great design and grip. No too mention it is very easy to clean! I used this brush for thicker foundations and even stick ones. It really got into every spot and...

I've tried lots of foundations with little success in doing what they need to do. Great coverage and look good on camera. As I am an actor, I need a flawless complexion and need perfect coverage by a foundation. Revlon Insta-filter foundation does just that. It goes on silky...

This is a full coverage liquid that can not be blended and goes on as thick as paint. I have very light skin and no matter how much time I put into trying to blend it, it comes out looking very very chalkey. I really love the idea of a natural foundation since Im using it nearly...

I love the fact this product is a matte finish and it stays. It doesn't come away when you rub your face or lips and when you are having a drink. It also seems to stay Matte even if you have oily skin.

I decided to buy this bc the powder I was using felt heavy when pairing it with my fave foundation. I wanted more of smooth natural look and I'm glad I gave e.l.f finishing powder a try because it's light and it blends really well. The sheer tint fair/light fits the colour of my...

I've spent tons of money finding a foundation that is long lasting & for combination skin. Everything from drug store to high end department store to Sephora! This is a professional quality product that gives you a buildable coverage. Also, it is leaping bunny certified, which...

feels super light weight but can wear it light coverage or it is buildable for full coverage. i like wearing it more light coverage in the summer so my freckles show but i can also build it up for a night out. it’s good value for money & better than some high end products...

Clings to dry patches, looks cakey on skin thats not “perfect” and just thick as hell. A no all round! If you have great skin and want to look like a cake then go for it.

This is a horrible foundation. Trying to apply it was a pain as it went on streaky. It also does not smell the greatest- kinda smells like foot cream.

I bought this stuff on a whim because it was cheap and I tend to buy every Essence product Shoppers Drug Mart comes out with because the stuff is super cheap and tends to work very well. I was curious about a "primer spray" and how well it actually worked for $4.99 so I bought...

It Covers all blemishes, it is not oily and works good on sensitive skin. Last all day! Did not cause acne...perfect match for my Latin color tone. It's a bit pricey, but you can use for those special occasions.

I love this product so much! It’s so nice and light and doesn’t feel heavy on my face. It applies so smoothly and evenly and doesn’t leave any steaks or marks. The texture of this foundation is also very creamy, it’s lovely!

I love this foundation, it's light weight and doesn't block my pours . Been using this for a few years now and always get compliments on how natural my skin looks. I have hyper sensitive skin and this didn't cause any reaction. No pirfume in it either, great when applied with a...

Not my favourite. I have found other foundations that can do a similar job, for a lesser pricepoint. That being said, I also prefer a more full coverage foundation and found this to be a rather light/medium coverage. Still not terrible.
