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.

Vichy Aerateint Pure Liquid Foundation

18 reviews

I found this product light and airy, easy to go on. The colour matched my skin tone nicely. I did not find the actual coverage all that great, but it didn't clog my pores or create any shine like other foundations do.
Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer Foundation

I’ve always seen celebrities recommend this foundation in magazines. I was a bit sceptical but absolutely love this foundation. It goes on very smooth, it is light enough to look natural but still gives you coverage. The colour works very well with my skin tone. I think it...
Lise Watier Teint Mousse Breathable Cotton Foundation

I am so mixed on this one. This is by far the weirdest textured product I have ever used. It takes some effort to put on as it kind of balls up before working into my skin. Tried with and without primer, and same issue. I'm still not sure what the perfect tool is. For now...
COVERGIRL Advanced Radiance Age Defying Liquid Makeup

Blends well into the skin, nice coverage without looking cakey. Long lasting, and you only have to use a small amount. As good or better than many of the more expensive foundations I've tried.
L'Oreal True Match Mineral Powder Foundation

I used to love this back when I was in middle school. I would use the brush in all (if I used that brush now, my skin would look super blotchy LOL) but I just tried it again recently with one of my brushes, and my skin must be too dry or something for this formula because it...
Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

This foundation is amazing for my skin type. I have oily skin and even though this is a liquid foundation it works perfectly for me. It gives good coverage without looking as though it has been caked on. Excellent range of colours to choose from. The only foundation I have so...

I wear this when I want a little more coverage than with my BB cream regime. This does match up with my skin tone well and brightens my face. I also like the added benefit of the SPF 20!
L'Oreal MagicSmooth Souffle Foundation

9 reviews

I love the feel of this product. It is amazingly lightweight and spreads easily on the face, yet despite how lightweight this "shuffle" is, it provides great coverage. It provides the same coverage as many other heavier products do.
Joe Fresh Cream Foundation

I bought this foundation on sale because I needed a new one and this looked decent. I have very dry skin so I thought this would work out for me. I tried using it in the dead of winter (the driest skin time) and for the life of me, I can't get it to look natural. I've tried...

J'aime beaucoup les fonds de teint crémeux car il donne une belle apparence pour la peau , hydrate beaucoup , et ne donne pas un effet poudré . Celui ci est parfait car il en faut peu pour changer l'apparence d'une peau qui peu devenir parfaite en peau de temps. La plupart des...

COVERGIRL Natureluxe Silk Foundation

This was the first foundation I ever used! And yes, it had something to do with Taylor Swift and Ellen Degeneres! I really liked the lightweight feel and the affordable price! I haven’t seen it in years and I wonder if it would live up to my fond memories now....
Mary Kay TimeWise Luminous-Wear Liquid Foundation

At first I was skeptical, I thought the tube was too small and wasn't going to last long for the amount of money it cost but, a little bit goes a long way. Makes your skin look and feel great,but if you have oily skin I wouldn't highly recommend.
Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Foundation

I do not have very many wonderful things to say about most of almays foundations. I have tried them all and although this is lightweight its so lightweight that it doesn't cover anything. A little more coverage would be nice

Vasanti Cosmetics Face Base Foundation In One

I love wearing this face powder on days I don’t feel like wearing makeup because it’s very light weight and does the job. On my days off from work when I don’t want to wear any makeup but have to go to run errands this is my face powder to go to. Love how it is cruelty...
Hard Candy Foundation Primer

I found this to be very thick and felt heavy on my skin. I wouldn't do this again. It felt like I was putting mud on my face. It also smells awful, very chemical like.
Boots No7 Lifting & Firming Foundation

I've been using this for some time now and have come to rely on it, it seems to hide my imperfections, it makes my skin feel and look younger not the cheapest by far but they do a good deal 3 for 2 I highly recommend this product
Almay Smart Shade Foundation

ALMAY SMART SHADE FOUNDATION, I like that it has spf 15 and the shade is so close to my natural tone. it is my favorite. I have sensitive skin and have not problems using it. My skin is oily and this brand has the special shade without oils. Love it.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Flawless Finish Foundation

this product was good, i liked how it blended and covered most of my blemishes. I was expecting more of a matte finish, but there was still quite a lot of shine when I was finished applying it. Overall, this product is tolerable for an evening look out on the town.
